We don't just advise — we build. Sageberg Capital is a business advisory, business growth and investment advisory firm building informal-sector businesses into investable companies, for the investors and institutions who back them.
Everything we do points one direction: taking African businesses from informal to investable — and from local to global.
To become Africa's leading business growth and investment advisory firm — connecting exceptional businesses with transformational capital.
To empower businesses with the structure, strategy, governance, and capital they need to scale from Africa to the global stage — while helping investors and institutions deploy capital into sustainable, high-performing ventures in the service of humanity.
What drives us: to see businesses scale from Africa to serve the world — and profit globally. We are builders: where others stop at reports, loans or programmes, we stay through structure, capital and exit.
About usBusinesses that want to grow, investors who want to back them, and institutions that want inclusive economic outcomes.
Informal and early-stage businesses ready to formalise, structure, and become fundable and bankable.
See what we do for youIndividuals and institutions seeking vetted, governed opportunities in Africa's trillion-dollar informal economy.
See how you profitPublic bodies turning policy ambition into measurable enterprise outcomes, jobs, and a wider tax base.
See how we deliverAfrica's informal sector is not a niche — it is the mainstream economy, moving over a trillion dollars a year and still largely untouched by structured capital.
The gap is structure, not opportunity. Sageberg is the builder that converts this vast, proven cashflow into governed, investable businesses.
