You have the land, the plans, and your senior funding in place. The final 10–30% of project cost — the gap finance — is what's holding you back. BridgeCap Africa connects you directly to international capital providers who have the mandate and appetite to fund African projects at rates your local bank cannot match.
If your project has senior debt in place and needs $1M–$20M to complete the capital stack, we can help — regardless of sector. We work with project owners across real estate, infrastructure, energy, and beyond.
Residential, commercial, mixed-use, and hospitality developments. If you have land title, planning, and senior debt confirmed — and a gap of $1M–$20M — we can introduce you to capital providers who fund African real estate.
Roads, bridges, ports, logistics hubs, and public infrastructure. Large-scale infrastructure projects with government backing or offtake agreements are highly attractive to our international capital network.
Renewable energy, solar farms, mini-grids, and utility-scale power projects. Impact-focused international capital providers actively seek qualifying African energy projects with strong fundamentals.
Industrial parks, manufacturing facilities, cold storage, and agri-processing. Projects that create jobs and anchor supply chains in Africa are well-positioned for international gap finance.
Healthcare facilities, schools, student accommodation, and affordable housing. Development finance institutions in our network have specific mandates for social impact projects across Africa.
If your project doesn't fit neatly into a category but has a fundable structure, senior debt in place, and a verified gap of $1M or more — contact us. We will tell you honestly whether we can help.
We never handle your funds and we hold no capital. Our introducer fee is paid only at financial close. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you submit your project to the moment funding lands.
Submit your project details and supporting documents using the form below. We review every submission within 5 business days. If your project looks viable, we will contact you to schedule a Project Review Call — a focused conversation where we go through your project in detail, answer your questions, and confirm whether we can move forward together.
Submit a project →If we agree to proceed after the Project Review Call, we work with you to build a bankable submission — project structure, financials, track record, and exit strategy — packaged to the standard international capital providers expect. A deal preparation fee applies at this stage. Nothing goes to a capital provider without your knowledge and approval.
We match your project to the right capital provider from our verified network and make a formal introduction under a signed agreement. We coordinate both sides through due diligence to financial close. Our introducer fee — 1 to 5% of deal value — is collected only when the funding is confirmed. If the deal does not close, we do not earn.
Our founding team has worked directly on development finance in Kenya and understands how African projects are structured, what local banks will and won't fund, and what international capital providers need to see.
Kenya · East Africa · active networkWe are based in Europe with direct relationships with European and global capital providers — development finance institutions, mezzanine funds, impact investors, and specialist lenders. These are relationships most African project owners cannot build independently.

No false promises · straight answersIf your project is in Africa, has senior debt in place, and needs M–0M to complete the capital stack — we want to hear from you. We work across the continent wherever the gap between local borrowing costs and international capital creates the greatest value for developers.
Across East, West, and Southern Africa, local borrowing costs remain significantly higher than what international capital providers can offer. That gap is where BridgeCap operates — connecting project owners to funding their local bank cannot provide.
Active across the regionNorth African markets are seeing significant infrastructure and real estate investment demand. High local borrowing costs make international capital a compelling alternative for project owners with strong fundamentals.
Active and growingWe focus on markets where local borrowing rates are highest relative to international capital — typically 5 to 15 percentage points cheaper. Use our savings calculator to see exactly what your project could save over the loan term.

BridgeCap Africa was founded by a team with direct experience in African project development and European capital markets. We have worked on development finance in Kenya and built relationships with international capital providers — giving us genuine access on both sides of every deal we work on.
We are not a directory, a platform, or a broker list. We are a professional introduction business. We vet every project before it leaves our hands, and we only make introductions when we are confident both sides will benefit.
If your project doesn't meet our criteria, we say so clearly and quickly. We would rather decline upfront than waste your time or damage a capital provider relationship with a weak submission.
A deal preparation fee is charged once your project is accepted into our pipeline. Our principal introducer fee — 1 to 5% of deal value — is earned only at financial close. We succeed when you do.
BridgeCap Africa holds no capital and never handles client funds. We are an introducer — we connect qualified projects with verified capital providers. All capital flows directly between you and the funder.
BridgeCap Africa is a UK-registered company. All introductions are made under signed agreements governed by English law. No ambiguity. No informal arrangements. You know exactly what we are doing, what we earn, and when.
