Finance
ACI Holdings facilitates the financing of commercially viable projects across various sectors, from IT, Property Development (Commercial and Residential Property), Microfinance, Telecommunications, and Hospitality to Agriculture. We specifically facilitate the financing of brown filed companies seeking growth capital, funding leveraged buyouts, or meeting listing requirements. We have established key strategic relationships with several finance houses, and corporate and individual investors who play a crucial role in availing investment funds.
Investments
ACI Holdings has a strong investment team that specializes in identifying lucrative private equity investment opportunities for our existing and potential investor clients. ACI Holdings then acquires strategic and significant holdings in the identified corporate entities across a range of market sectors. The broader guiding principles of such acquisitions include firms with excellent business models, good growth prospects in the medium term, excellent management, and sound industry fundamentals. Investment activities are focused on the management of investments and the provision of support, leadership, and strategic guidance, rather than being involved in the day-to-day operations of these companies. ACI’s investment scope transcends domestic and international markets with a footprint that spans across Africa from Burundi, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia to Nigeria.
Telecommunications
The ACI telecommunications division is committed to finding the best solutions, in a fast-moving and highly competitive technological field. The Telecommunications Division is there to serve the global economy by pioneering, developing, and sustaining, reliable, competent, and unparalleled telecommunications products and services of uncompromising world-class standards. In our quest to become a global communications part net, we insistently pursue novel solutions and constantly grow our knowledge base with a relentless passion for excellence. ACI Holding has actively participated in the telecommunications revolution that has engendered the accessibility of distant developing markets through relentlessly innovative solutions. This division is committed to providing integrated and state-of-the-art communications solutions to an entire range of customers in these markets. For instance, we have pioneered in creating a platform for the convergence of banking, information technology, and telecommunications in some of these developing markets. Thus, ACI Holdings is ideally and well-positioned to benefit from the consolidation and development of Africa’s telecommunications industry. We have automated and improved the effectiveness of the distribution of airtime by employing a wireless communication network to electrically distribute prepaid vouchers, thus phasing out the use of costly pre-printed vouchers. We are also involved in various initiatives in the Telecommunications space; from holding exclusive dealer agreements to sell and distribute mobile phone products and services, to the management of colossal call centres in countries such as Swaziland, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
