The SME Advisory Campaign

This initiative, launched in early 2024, is a collaboration between GhISP and GVCA and the ‘Big Four’ professional service firms: Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC. The aim is to enhance enhance SME access to pre-investment and deal advisory services, thereby improving their investment readiness to facilitate access to capital for growth and expansion. Participating firms committed to offering investment readiness and deal advisory services at significantly reduced costs (50-70% discounts) while experimenting with SME-targeted service delivery models. Key activities under this collaboration include:

SME investor-readiness training: To further support affordable transaction advisory services, each of the Big Four firms conducted investor-readiness training workshops for SMEs. These workshops emphasized the importance of investment preparation and encouraged SMEs to leverage the advisory services available.
