A Vision Turned Reality: SHONA Zambia Launch

31st October 2025

31st October 2025 marked a significant milestone for SHONA Zambia as we officially launched SHONA Capital Zambia, bringing to life a bold vision to support and transform Zambia’s small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

This launch represents a major step forward in our mission to provide tailored financial solutions that empower entrepreneurs and strengthen communities.

A Moment of Purpose and Shared Ambition

The launch event drew together partners, entrepreneurs, and friends who all share a common conviction: when SMEs receive the right type of capital and support, they become engines of national growth.

The atmosphere was charged with excitement as attendees connected over shared aspirations for Zambia’s business landscape. Conversations centered on innovation, collaboration, and the transformative impact that accessible, well-structured financing can have on local enterprises.

A Commitment That Goes Beyond Capital

At SHONA, we believe that finance alone is not enough. Our approach is rooted in building long-term partnerships that combine capital, capacity-building, and strategic guidance.

Supporting high-potential SMEs with flexible, growth-oriented financing
Providing hands-on business support tailored to local needs
Working alongside entrepreneurs to unlock sustainable, long-term impact

Words That Inspired the Day

“This launch is not just the beginning of a new office—it is the beginning of a stronger ecosystem where Zambian entrepreneurs can access the capital and support they deserve.”

“SMEs are the backbone of Africa’s economies. By walking alongside them, we invest not only in businesses, but in livelihoods, innovation, and national prosperity.”
