• Our Core SME Advisory Pillars

  1. Bankability & Credit Facility Preparation

  Securing institutional financing from commercial banks or international credit lines (such as EBRD and EIB facilities) requires rigorous documentation and credible financial projections. We prepare your business to pass institutional credit committees with confidence.

• Bank-Ready Feasibility Studies: Comprehensive market, technical, and financial feasibility analyses tailored to lender requirements.

• Dynamic Financial Modeling: 3-to-5-year integrated cash-flow forecasts, debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR) stress testing, and working capital optimization models.

• Credit Application Packaging: Structuring complete, transparent financing dossiers that accelerate bank approval timelines and improve borrowing terms.

• 2. Financial Governance & Reporting Upgrade

  Many high-potential SMEs outgrow their initial bookkeeping systems. We modernize your financial infrastructure to meet Egyptian Accounting Standards (EAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

• Financial Statement Restructuring: Cleaning up historical accounts, separating personal and corporate finances, and preparing audit-ready financial statements.

• Internal Controls & SOPs: Designing practical, scalable standard operating procedures and segregation-of-duties frameworks to prevent leakage and strengthen operational transparency.

• ERP & Accounting System Advisory: Guiding your team through the selection and implementation of modern accounting software for real-time financial visibility.

• 3. Fractional CFO & Permanent Financial Advisor

  Gain executive-level financial leadership without the overhead of a full-time senior hire. Our retained advisory model embeds seasoned US-CPA and CVA expertise directly into your leadership team.

• Monthly Performance & KPI Reviews: Translating raw accounting data into actionable management dashboards covering gross margins, cash burn, and unit economics.

• Board & Lender Reporting: Representing your financial posture clearly to existing shareholders, commercial lenders, and prospective investors.

• Strategic Cost & Pricing Optimization: Identifying margin expansion opportunities and tightening cost controls across operations.

• 4. Institutional Grant & Co-Financing Readiness

  International development institutions offer substantial technical assistance and co-financing programs for eligible Egyptian SMEs. We help you navigate these frameworks and structure qualifying projects.

• Eligibility & Readiness Assessment: Evaluating your operational track record, governance posture, and growth plans against international donor criteria.

• Project Scoping & Execution: Delivering high-impact financial management, valuation, and restructuring assignments aligned with international advisory benchmarks.

• We provide dedicated financial structuring for high-priority economic sectors supported by regional and European development facilities:

• Green Economy & Energy Efficiency: Calculating return on investment (ROI), payback periods, and carbon/cost savings for SMEs investing in solar energy, clean technology, or industrial efficiency upgrades.

• Women-Led Enterprises: Tailored financial advisory, governance structuring, and capital-raising support designed to help female entrepreneurs scale their businesses.

• SME & Executive Training Academy

  Beyond advisory, Fidelity Egypt builds internal capability within your finance team through practical, hands-on workshops:

• Financial Literacy for Founders & Non-Financial Managers: Mastering cash flow vs. profitability, reading balance sheets, and making data-driven capital allocation decisions.

• Working Capital & Cash Flow Management: Practical strategies for inventory optimization, receivables collection, and supplier financing.

• Investment & Credit Readiness Bootcamps: Preparing internal finance teams to manage lender due diligence and institutional reporting requirements.

• Call-to-Action (CTA) Block
