Néré Capital Partners (NCP), operating under the Néré Capital brand, is a Burkinabè fund management and advisory firm dedicated to facilitating access to finance and supporting business development.
Néré Capital emerged from the institutional restructuring of an investment fund established in 2014 by entrepreneurs and private-sector stakeholders, including Investisseurs & Partenaires (I&P), a pioneering impact investment group in sub-Saharan Africa.
This restructuring separated fund management activities from the investment vehicles themselves, in line with industry practices. The original fund thus became Néré Capital Investment (NCI), an investment vehicle now managed by Néré Capital Partners.
Building on the experience and expertise developed since its inception, Néré Capital operates across three main areas of activity:
Néré Capital structures, raises and manages funds to finance high-potential businesses. Its interventions may take various forms, including equity investments, quasi-equity instruments, debt, repayable advances, and other financing solutions tailored to the needs of businesses.
Néré Capital supports SMEs in strengthening their organisational structures, developing their businesses, and accessing financing. This support aims to foster the growth of strong and successful enterprises while contributing to a dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Néré Capital provides financing solutions tailored to each company’s size and stage of development. These include minority equity investments and seed financing, with amounts of up to CFA 500 million.

Néré Capital primarily works with local entrepreneurs and suppliers to develop a dynamic network of SMEs in Burkina Faso. Alongside entrepreneurs, we develop strategies to accelerate the growth and development of their businesses.
Our approach is centered on the entrepreneur, with whom we seek to build a long-term relationship based on trust.
We are convinced that businesses have an essential social role to play in the real economy.
Beyond non-financial considerations, Néré Capital is committed to promoting Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) opportunities.
One of our objectives is also to promote corporate social and environmental responsibility and to work with entrepreneurs to develop action plans aimed at maximising the company’s impact on each of its stakeholders (employees, customers, local communities, suppliers, etc.), with reference to the framework established by the United Nations through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Néré Capital is financed by Burkinabe and international shareholders such as private actors (Investisseurs & Partenaires, Incluvest, Barka Energies, SIDI), banking institutions (Société Générale Burkina Faso (Member of Vista Bank Group)) and insurance company (Société Nationale d’Assurances et de Réassurances)
We also work with governmental institutions such as the European Union.
