Additionally, the platform seeks to provide reliable and affordable business support services such as accountants, marketing professionals, and lawyers from multiple service providers to enhance operational efficiency and sustainable growth. SOLV Ghana is also set to help MSMEs integrate into the Financial Trust Corridor established by the Ghanaian and Singaporean governments, which aims to integrate trade flows and business services discovery within the Asia-Africa trade corridor. 

The SOLV Ghana platform has onboarded 40 supply chain ecosystems linked to over 9,000 MSMEs participating on the platform.  

Driving MSME growth in Ghana 

In Ghana, MSMEs constitute 83% of the business populace and generate 71% of the nation's business revenues, as per a 2019 World Bank report. Despite this, they only capture 66% of the profits. These MSMEs face various hurdles, including limited access to efficient and fast credit or financing; and affordable professional support services. These challenges not only impact their profitability but also hinder their expansion and scalability efforts. 

As stated in the official announcement, SOLV Ghana aims to address these challenges by creating a verified and secured digital marketplace relationship between MSMEs, their suppliers, and participating financial institutions, to offer pre-approved loan facilities to fund shortfalls between their cash flows and existing working capital required for restocking.  

SOLV Ghana also provides reliable and affordable business support services to improve operational efficiency. Financing and access to professional services are critical elements that will enhance MSMEs’ business growth, and operational efficiencies, and set businesses for success across the country.
