Quartin Partners Limited was founded to address the funding gap between Ghanaian & African businesses and local & international investors. We aim to do so by sourcing viable projects and opportunities from small-medium & large-cap clients, curating these opportunities towards international investor requirements and providing structured finance, capital-raising and transactions advisory services to get projects funded.
We aim to provide support built on efficiency, ethics, reliability, transparency & trust with the client’s interests and long-term goals firmly in mind.
Our founders have accumulated a combined experience of almost 30 years in real estate and corporate finance, capital-raising, fund structuring and set-up, asset management and client services in international firms located in Europe. This international exposure and our local knowledge of the Ghanaian and African market provides a unique foundation to act as an intermediary between international investors and local & African sponsors and companies.
