About Norfund

Norfund facilitates economic growth and poverty reduction by investing risk capital in profitable businesses in developing countries.
The message is loud and clear: “Sustained economic growth reduces poverty. The link is equally clear between economic growth and strong private investment.” (Report to the UN secretary-general, Unleashing entrepreneurship - making business work for the poor, March 2004)

Norfund is a Norwegian development financial institution (DFI) which invests risk capital in profitable private enterprises in most countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Balkans. Any country with a GNI per capita of less than USD 6055 is eligible for these investments (DAC List of ODA Recipients). Norfund will contribute to the realisation of viable projects which balance economic, social and environmental considerations. Read more about Norfund's business integrity.

The institution can provide equity, quasi-equity and loan financing for business expansions, corporate restructurings, management buy-ins and buy-outs and new business ventures. It invests in most sectors of the economy, providing the investment offers opportunities for growth, profitability and sustainable development.

Norfund has established two global subsidiaries to increase the scope and scale of its investments. Aureos Capital is Norfund's joint venture fund management company, while SN Power Invest is its strategic joint venture in the renewable energy sector.

  2. Selling a business is a complex endeavor. Many entrepreneurs postpone the sale of their business due to uncertainties and a fear of not getting what they want. As a result, when the time comes and a business must be sold anyway, it is often a fire sale, and the proceeds are seldom satisfactory. A worst-case scenario is closing the business doors and walking away after giving up on all dreams to get decent cash for years of hard work. In buying a business, you eliminate the risks related to start-ups. You will have a cash flow from the very first day of ownership. It’s like buying a car instead of an assembly kit. God only knows how you will manage to assemble those part on your own. However, ready for use an already assembled car can drive you instantly.
