YZS Ventures Holding, an investment firm committed to empowering entrepreneurs, has announced its acquisition of a strategic stake in Maksab.io. Maksab, derived from the Arabic word for “gains” or “profits,” is a digital platform aimed at connecting consultants and private investors with SMEs seeking growth capital. The platform provides a streamlined, efficient way to facilitate cross-border deal-making and address the global SME funding gap, estimated at US$3.8 trillion.
YZS Ventures is renowned for its focus on sustainability, fintech, energy, and web 3.0 sectors, providing strategic investments, mentorship, and resources to early-stage projects. By integrating Maksab’s capabilities, YZS Ventures aims to enhance the availability of capital and resources for SMEs, particularly in the Arab world, where SMEs constitute 80% of businesses but struggle to secure loans or lines of credit. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) estimates the SME funding gap in the MENA region to be around US$260 billion.
Maksab’s mission is to offer a more efficient, reliable, and transparent solution to the SME funding gap by connecting entrepreneurs and management teams with qualified resources. This approach helps accelerate business growth and expand operations. The platform invites professional consultants to structure hybrid solutions, support, guide, and prescribe alternative debt/equity structures for entrepreneurs.
The acquisition by YZS Ventures is expected to strengthen Maksab’s impact, providing SMEs with the necessary tools and support to thrive in a competitive market. This partnership underscores YZS Ventures’ commitment to fostering innovation and driving economic growth through strategic investments in high-potential ventures.
