CURRENT FUNDS
BridgeAngels Fund I
In 2018, PearlMutual Consulting Limited set up an open-ended retail fund that sources funding from high-net-worth individuals to fulfill the short-term working capital needs of SMEs in Nigeria. This vehicle, otherwise known as BridgeAngels Fund I, has since provided 12 SMEs in the Agric processing and manufacturing industry with over $3.2 million in funding.
What we offer
1
ACCESS TO FUNDING
Many SMEs have the potential to grow and be profitable. However, they often operate under capacity due to a lack of working capital. Not only do we link our SMEs to interested investors, but we also help them achieve investment readiness to improve their access to institutional funding

Active fund management
Our investors can rest assured that their funds are being actively managed under BridgeAngels. Our SME relationship team works hard to manage the risk of default on all transactions. We also source new investment opportunities to generate competitive returns for investors in and outside of Nigeria.
