MORE ABOUT

Private Credit

What is impact investing?
Impact investing is the allocation of capital to enterprises with the intention to generate positive, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. Norsad Capital provides structured debt financing to businesses in Africa that can generate such impact.

What are private debt solutions such as mezzanine finance?
Private debt is commonly debt financing provided by non-bank institutions to privately held companies. Mezzanine finance is a hybrid form of funding that combines features of debt and equity. Companies will usually consider mezzanine financing to finance business goals when they have maximized senior debt borrowing capacity or seek to preserve future senior debt capacity. Norsad Capital can provide such financing structures to enable companies to pursue long-term strategic opportunities which may not have seemed feasible otherwise.

What is long-term funding?
Long-term funding is generally defined as financing with maturity exceeding one year. This can include bank loans, bonds, leases and equity instruments. Longer-term maturity structures are central to sustainable financial development, reduce debt rollover risks, enable better long-term planning and can contribute to faster growth. Norsad Capital provides structured debt funding solutions with typical maturities of 4 to 7 years.
