Independent advisory and investment firm, TAG, has reaffirmed its commitment to Africa’s economic transformation through strategic partnerships with development finance institutions and ecosystem enablers aimed at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and creative ventures across the continent.
In a recent statement, the firm announced that it is providing tailored business support and strategic investment advice to high-potential African businesses, with a focus on driving scalable and sustainable impact. TAG’s model includes hands-on services such as embedded chief financial officers, financial structuring, policy engagement, and ecosystem mapping—tools designed to help businesses grow confidently in challenging markets.
The firm’s Managing Principal, Fiyin Ogunlesi, noted that TAG’s mission is to address the structural and financial barriers that continue to hinder growth for entrepreneurs across the continent. He stressed that creativity and entrepreneurship remain powerful economic drivers, but many African ventures still struggle with access to funding, ownership rights, and long-term sustainability.
“We’re closing these gaps through practical support—ranging from investment readiness to CFO services and global partnerships,” Ogunlesi said. “Our aim is to help clients turn their potential into lasting impact.”
TAG is already working with several emerging and impact-driven businesses, including The Plug, Azuwa Studios, Peninsular Manufacturing, Ororo Waste Management, and the Challenge Fund for Youth Employment.
The firm also recently released a Nigeria-focused Afrobeats Economy Report, which outlines investment opportunities in the music sector and the broader creative economy. According to TAG, the report reflects its belief in the untapped potential of Africa’s cultural and economic sectors.
“We’re backing the next generation of regional champions across industries,” Ogunlesi added. “It’s about making Africa more global and more investable—one bold venture at a time.”
