Our Core Offering
We combine capital, capability and care to help small businesses grow sustainably & responsibly
Private Credit
Fueling growth without breaking businesses
Many SMEs don’t fail because of poor ideas — they fail because cash arrives too late. Our Private Credit Solutions provide structured, short-term and medium-term funding that allows businesses to operate, deliver, and grow with confidence.
We design funding around how SMEs actually trade — enabling them to pay suppliers, manage operating costs, and deliver work while waiting for customer payments. Each facility is carefully structured to balance affordability for the business with risk protection for our funding partners.
We focus on responsible, short-duration funding that supports operational continuity, preserves jobs, and enables businesses to respond confidently to commercial demand.
Key Instruments
- Short-Term Working Capital Facilities.
- Time-bound funding solutions, typically ranging from 30 to 180 days, designed to support day-to-day operating needs and smooth cash-flow cycles.
- Revenue-Linked Repayment Structures.
- Flexible repayment approaches aligned to business turnover, allowing enterprises to manage quieter trading periods without undue pressure.
- Blended Finance Solutions.
- Funding structures developed in partnership with development institutions and impact-oriented capital providers, aimed at reducing cost of funding while expanding access for underserved SMEs.
Short-term liquidity is often the difference between fulfilling a large order and losing a customer. By enabling SMEs to meet immediate obligations without sacrificing long-term stability, TCS strengthens supply chains, preserves jobs, and positions businesses for sustainable growth.

Private Equity & Structured Investments
Patient capital for businesses ready to scale
Some businesses need more than debt — they need a partner. Through our Private Equity and Structured Investment platform, we provide long-term, growth-oriented capital to high-potential SMEs.
We invest alongside founders, supporting expansion, professionalisation, and market access. Our approach is disciplined and patient, focused on building resilient businesses rather than chasing quick exits.
Value Creation Activities
Our role extends beyond capital deployment. We work closely with founders to strengthen the underlying business through:
- Strategic capital injection for expansion projects such as facility upgrades or fleet acquisition.
- Implementation of formal governance structures to improve decision-making.
- Technology adoption to improve efficiency and competitiveness.
- Market positioning and brand strengthening to prepare for strategic exits such as trade sales or corporate buyouts.
We also support SMEs that are positioned to expand regionally or enter new market segments, where structured growth capital can unlock the next phase of development.
Where appropriate, we work alongside development institutions and impact-oriented capital providers to structure blended equity solutions that broaden access and support inclusive growth.
