Private Equity & Venture Capital

Backing high-growth Ghanaian companies — with more than capital.

Through growth equity and the KBL Venture Capital Fund, Union Capital invests in early-stage, high-growth businesses and supports founders with strategic management and advisory access.

In short

We provide growth equity to promising Ghanaian companies — and through the KBL Venture Capital Fund, we back early-stage businesses with capital plus the support to use it well.

Capital for the companies building Ghana's future.
