🚀 Unlocking Growth, One Sip at a Time 🍹 At Jia, we believe that business success is like a finely crafted beverage—it takes the right ingredients, careful preparation, and perfect timing. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with African Originals, a brand that has not only transformed Kenya's craft beverage industry but has also set new standards for innovation and quality. This partnership is a perfect example of how innovative financing can brew opportunities for rapid growth. 🤝 Founded by Alexandra Chappatte, African Originals has been shaking up Kenya's craft beverage scene with bold flavors made with local ingredients like Turmeric & Chili Tonic and Passion & Lime Cider—perfect for cracking open on a sunny Nairobi afternoon. ☀ Despite their early success and strong demand for their unique products, African Originals—like many growing businesses—faced challenges in accessing the capital they needed. With Jia's invoice financing solution, African Originals was able to unlock capital tied up in receivables, allowing them to invest in their growth and craft success, sip by sip. 📈 The results speak for themselves: African Originals achieved a remarkable 200% growth last year, firmly establishing themselves as one of Kenya's premier craft beverage brands. Their products are now synonymous with quality, innovation, and the authentic taste of Kenya. 🇰🇪 We’re incredibly proud to have facilitated over $1M in working capital originations for African Originals, helping them navigate the challenges of scaling a business in today’s competitive market. But this partnership is about more than just numbers; it’s about supporting a brand that embodies the entrepreneurial spirit of Kenya. It’s about bringing the refreshing, vibrant flavors of African Originals to more people, one bottle at a time. 🌍 Curious how Jia can help your business reach its full potential?
