Business Planning, Development & Investor Relations for a Food Tech Project
Ongoing business development, investor relations, and equity capital support for infrastructure projects.
Duration: 36 months | Year: 2021
The Problem
An agro-allied company building an end-to-end agricultural ecosystem faced significant hurdles in scaling its operations and managing investments:
- No in-house investment officer to oversee diverse business interests and assets.
- Lack of robust investment and risk management frameworks, leading to inefficiencies in capital allocation and project execution.
These gaps hindered the company’s ability to attract investment for its infrastructure projects and limited its growth potential.
The Solution
SWC provided a tailored service package covering business planning, development, and investor relations:
- Business Development: Crafted comprehensive business strategies to optimize operations across production, storage, and distribution.
- Investor Relations: Managed investor communications, enhancing transparency and trust with stakeholders.
- Capital Raise Support: Facilitated equity capital raises for multiple infrastructure projects, strengthening the company’s financial foundation.
The Impact
Over the 3-year engagement, SWC’s involvement led to:
- Successful equity capital raises for key infrastructure projects.
- Enhanced investor confidence through improved communication and reporting.
Stronger business frameworks for investment and risk management, enabling sustainable growth.
These outcomes positioned the company to scale its agricultural ecosystem more efficiently, benefiting both producers and consumers across Nigeria.
The Story
When SWC began working with the agro-allied company, the ambitious vision for a nationwide agricultural ecosystem was hampered by fragmented business strategies and limited investment management capabilities.
SWC’s first step was to implement a cohesive business development plan that aligned the company’s production, storage, and distribution operations. By introducing structured investment and risk management frameworks, SWC streamlined decision-making processes and optimized resource allocation.
Investor relations became a cornerstone of the engagement, with SWC facilitating transparent communication that attracted equity investors and strengthened existing partnerships. This strategic support culminated in successful capital raises for multiple infrastructure projects, including aggregation centers and distribution hubs.
Today, the company is better equipped to meet Nigeria’s food supply demands, with a scalable model that supports farmers, distributors, and consumers alike.
The Investment
SWC’s comprehensive services enabled the company to:
- Secure vital equity capital for infrastructure projects.
- Establish robust investment and risk management frameworks.
- Strengthen investor relations and stakeholder trust.
These improvements set the foundation for the company’s long-term growth and its mission to revolutionize Nigeria’s agricultural ecosystem.
