Togo: Italy’s Naos Investimenti Targets SME and Informal Sector Financing

Togo: Italy’s Naos Investimenti Targets SME and Informal Sector Financing
Thursday, 22 January 2026 18:36
  • Naos Investimenti plans to expand into Togo to support SME and informal-sector financing.
  • The Italian firm discussed market entry with Togo’s Chamber of Commerce in Lomé.
  • The project targets liquidity constraints through tailored financial solutions.

In recent years, Togo has stepped up initiatives to strengthen its economic attractiveness and draw more foreign direct investment, notably through business-climate reforms.

Italian financial company Naos Investimenti S.p.A., in partnership with Christian Dominici S.p.A., plans to expand its operations into Togo. A delegation from the firm met with the Togo Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, in Lomé to discuss potential areas of intervention in the country.

In Lomé, the Italian financial group, which specializes in integrated solutions for the transfer and enhancement of tax credits, said it aims to contribute to the mobilization of financing. The company also plans to offer simple, secure financial solutions tailored to local conditions. The initiative seeks to improve access to financial services for women, young people, very small, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as informal-sector operators who remain excluded from traditional financing channels.

The project includes the creation of a multidisciplinary team of experts, including specialists in economics and artificial intelligence, to support the rollout of activities and adapt financial tools to the Togolese context.

Over time, the planned presence of the firm could help ease access to liquidity, one of the main constraints on business growth in Togo. By specializing in financial structuring and receivables mobilization, the company could offer mechanisms that allow economic operators to convert future rights into immediate liquidity, thereby strengthening their investment capacity.
