Merchant banking is a growth champion in every sector
The impact of merchant banking transcends specific industries. It empowers:
SMEs:
With tailored funding structures and mentorship programs, budding businesses gain the fuel and guidance needed to blossom into thriving enterprises.
The Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, highlighted the importance of increasing access to trade finance for small businesses. This is to assist their integration into global supply chains. She emphasised that trade finance plays a vital role in supporting inclusive participation in world trade. She also urged multilateral development banks to intensify their efforts to reduce the finance gap between demand and supply.
Established corporations:
Through expert transaction structuring and access to global markets, existing giants can scale new heights, leaving footprints across continents.
Innovative ventures:
For pioneering players in tech, agribusiness, or renewable energy, merchant banks unlock doors to venture capital and angel investors, fuelling the future of progress.
The Nigerian advantage
In the context of Nigeria’s dynamic economy, merchant banking takes on a unique significance. With its deep understanding of local regulations, cultural nuances, and market opportunities, it provides local businesses with an invaluable edge:
Local expertise: With roots firmly planted in Nigerian soil, Coronation Merchant bank navigates the complexities of the local market with unmatched agility, making us ideal partners for domestic expansion.

Merchant banking in Nigeria isn’t just about numbers on a balance sheet; it’s about igniting dreams and transforming business landscapes.
