In many ways, creating finance solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is a greater challenge than developing solutions for larger organisations. For economies to prosper and diversify, SMEs need stable finance partners that understand their businesses and can make decisions based not only on raw financial figures, but also by on the business opportunity and management\u2019s ability to deliver. Fidelis Finance BF is one such solution-provider. With more than 20 years of experience, Fidelis has been continuously developing the capacity to deliver on its mission statement: to push the limits of its capabilities and provide companies with financial services that best improve clients\u2019 competitiveness and allow them to seize new opportunities. Several multilateral credit providers and development banks have recognised Fidelis\u2019s capacity to profitably deliver services to SMEs. The CFI.co judging panel recognises the level of trust these institutions show in Fidelis. The company has built an excellent reputation for governance and efficient processes, which \u2014 when combined with a strong team that knows how to create and match solutions and opportunities \u2014 are helping SMEs reach their full potential. The CFI.co judging panel declares it the winner of the Best Social Impact SME Finance (West Africa) award \u2013 an honour the company has achieved twice. Fidelis Finance BF\u2019s took the same CFI.co award in 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
