OVO Acceleration Fund

Accelerate the future of African entrepreneurs

A loan that keeps circulating

The OVO Acceleration Fund is not a classic fund. With affordable, tailor-made loans, OVO gives African entrepreneurs wings and helps accelerate their sustainable impact. This allows SMEs to grow faster, seize opportunities, and create jobs.

 

Every euro you donate keeps generating returns. Once a loan is repaid, the amount flows back into the fund and finances other entrepreneurs. One investment can thus create multiple opportunities for impact, attract co-investors, and reduce risks.

 

Why this fund?

Good ideas cannot wait. For many African entrepreneurs, access to capital simply does not exist. Banks or traditional investors often see them as too small or too risky, keeping their plans from ever taking off.

 

The OVO Acceleration Fund breaks through this barrier with transparent and feasible loans, adapted to the reality of local SMEs. This gives entrepreneurs the chance to realize their ideas and achieve sustainable growth.

 

Our approach has already been rewarded with the European Business Award for the Environment – recognition of OVO’s innovative and sustainable way of creating impact.

 

How does it work?

  • Amount: loans from €5,000
  • Terms: favorable interest, with a duration of 1 to 5 years
  • For whom: sustainable African SMEs that have received OVO’s quality label OVO Certified: Investing for Change”

OVO closely supports and monitors entrepreneurs together with local partners to reduce risks and increase their chances of success. OVO also manages the investment portfolio and ensures transparency and accountability. Fundraising takes place through the “Friends of” fund at the King Baudouin Foundation, which also provides the tax certificates.

Your support makes the difference

With your contribution, you are literally building sustainable growth in Africa: more jobs, more opportunities, and more resilient businesses that take the future of their communities into their own hands.

  • Individuals: From €40 onwards, every Belgian donor receives a tax certificate from the King Baudouin Foundation. You currently benefit from a 30% tax reduction on your donation. A gift of €5,000 therefore costs you only €3,500 in reality.
  • Companies: Donations to recognized charities are tax deductible, meaning your business pays less tax while creating clear social impact.
