Strategic fit
A structure built for the gap it's filling.
Africa's MSME sector faces an estimated $416B annual credit gap. GeoPesa is not seeking a banking licence — it operates as a non-bank financial institution licensed under FSC Mauritius, avoiding the capital-intensive requirements of full banking regulation while meeting the governance bar international investors expect.
The Mauritius holding structure gives the group tax efficiency, DFI credibility and investor-grade oversight, with three pillars designed to cross-sell into the same client base.
The three-pillar model
One group. Three ways
to serve the same client.
Each pillar operates as its own regulated entity under the Mauritius GBC, connected by shared governance and a common pipeline of African businesses.
Lending
GeoPesa Credit
Structured MSME and corporate lending, trade finance, project finance and supply chain credit for African businesses excluded from formal banking.

Oversight built to the standard DFIs scrutinise.
The Mauritius GBC sits at the apex of the group: legal counterparty for investor agreements, seat of group-wide risk oversight, audited annually by a Big Four firm and reporting quarterly to the FSC.
Minimum two independent Mauritius-resident directors alongside executive directors; independent directors chair the Audit and Risk Committees.

Pan-African footprint
Deployed where the
credit gap is widest.
GeoPesa Credit launches first in Nigeria and Kenya, drawing on an existing pipeline of portfolio companies for Day 1 revenue, then expands alongside GeoPesa Wealth and GeoPesa Protect as capital is raised.
