Background
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are the life blood of any economy and are responsible for
driving innovation and creating competition in any economy. However, most SMEs do not have access to the required
long term investment funds; and banks and the securities market shy away from high risk investments in some sectors.
The Government of Ghana thus, established the Venture Capital Trust Fund (VCTF) to provide long term funds for the
investment needs of SMEs.
The VCTF is thus mandated under the Venture Capital Trust Fund Act, 2004 (Act 680) to establish Venture Finance Companies
in partnership with Private Investors, to assist in the growth and development of SMEs by making available for their use,
Equity, Quasi-equity, Debt and the provision of business and management expertise.
Gold Venture Capital Limited (GVCL) is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Ghana,(
Companies code 1963, Act 179) and owned by the Gold Coast Securities Limited and the Venture Capital Trust Fund.
GVCL is managed by Boulders Advisors Limited, a licensed investment advisory firm. |
