The Fundo Activo de Capital de Risco Angolano (FACRA) is a public venture capital fund that supports Angolan small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

+(244) 943.257.858Investment Focus:
The Fundo Activo de Capital de Risco Angolano (FACRA) is a government backed venture capital fund established under Presidential Decree No. 108/12 of June 7, 2012, with special emphasis on investing in Angolan Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) through its creation, innovation, and expansion of its business across Angola.
As part of its mission to provide MSME with a new investment platform and opportunity to explore the vast Angolan market, FACRA held on January 22, 2015, an investment forum called the “FACRA Day” to help expand existing businesses or launch new initiatives.
“FACRA Day” provided an opportunity for national entrepreneurs to strengthen their investment capabilities and build trusted partnerships – thus meeting the challenges of growth and diversification of the Angolan economy.
Other guidelines include business investment to help diversify the economy outside the mining sector, which generates jobs and promotes import substitution and improve the quality of products and services offered by national companies.
FACRA is guided by the need to internationalize national companies, helping them to do business outside of Angola, and add value and diversity to the country’s export sector.
FACRA’s investment criteria have been developed by the Fund’s Investment Committee. It details the Fund’s overall strategy, objectives and priority investment sectors. In addition, it also details the investment size, target returns, holding period and target company type.
This strategy has been tailored to make sure tax-payers’ money is invested wisely and only in Angola’s key growth sectors. The guiding principle is to invest in micro, small and medium sized enterprises (MSME’s) that have the potential for high long-term financial returns and that can play a part in stimulating the growth of the nation’s MSME sector.
FACRA seeks investment opportunities with entrepreneurs and business partners (both Angolan and foreign) with innovative businesses and technology firms. Supporting innovation is central to FACRA’s objectives and, as such, it is keen to work with foreign companies who are able to support innovative new technologies, products or services by co-investing in and co-managing Angolan businesses.
