Impact Capital Africa (ICA or ICapAfrica) seeks to balance the financial returns of investments and equities with positive impacts and returns on social and natural capital. Redefining sustainable impact investments and their returns, while reducing risk. We provide Impact finance brokering and advisory, impact due diligence and reporting, impact investment and private equity. IMPACT FINANCE BROKERING AND ADVISORY ICA provides expertise in impact finance, assisting businesses and communities to access finance for positive impact projects and investments. ICA prepares the project for credit, ensuring that they collect and present credible information on the positive socio-economic and/or environmental impact the project will have. ICA will assist in the collation and presentation of socio-economic and environmental data to qualify the project for positive impact finance. IMPACT DUE DILIGENCE AND REPORTING ICA provides independent expertise to the finance sector to perform impact due diligence assessments on projects seeking to access positive impact finance. Banks and other financial institutions can appoint ICA to perform socio-economic and environmental due diligence studies on these projects, reporting the expected impacts the project could make. ICA also offers impact reporting, whereby ICA will provide ongoing impact analysis of projects to the funding financial institution. IMPACT INVESTING Our goal is to solve for the lack of finance available to businesses and communities that generate positive environmental or social impacts. One of the main reasons for the lack of access to finance is collateral and guarantees, key risk mitigating factors for finance providers and investors. Most projects that make positive environmental impacts are often funded by NGOs or by other corporates – a strategy that is not sustainable in itself. The problem with NGO funds and donations is that they are not endless and require constant topping up of funds. Once those funds are used, they are for all intents and purposes, spent. We invest funds in such a way that they can be recycled and reused. Instead of directing the funds straight to the projects. We seek to unlock finance for projects that typically would not qualify for finance, or at least only qualify for 'expensive debt' and would usually rely on donations and fund raising. "Through the project finance, equity or investments we take on, our aim is to achieve natural and social capital growth with sustainable financial returns. " Brett Wallington - Founder and Managing Director.
