Three Ways We Deploy Structured Capital in Ghana

Revenue Share

Repayments tied to your top-line revenue. Capital that scales with your business — ideal for founders at any stage who want alignment over obligation.

Aligned with your cash flow

Convertible Advance

Bridge financing for startups and operators with a clear near-term milestone. Converts at a discount in future rounds, preserving equity through critical growth phases.

Ideal for startups & scaling

Asset-Backed

Liorion owns the physical asset; you run the business; cash flow services the investment. Ideal for industrial and logistics operators in Ghana.

Security through hard assets
