Group & Verify
We onboard real Global South SMEs (starting in Ghana) and verify them through business registration, tax ID, and export credentials.
Create a Legal Investment Vehicle (SPV)
A regulated structure (e.g. in Ghana or Mauritius) holds collective trade rights or export revenue streams.
Tokenize Export Revenue
Projected income (from cocoa, cashew, etc.) is converted into digital shares, made available to global investors.

These shares are listed on partner exchanges like NGX, BRVM, or via alternative platforms (DEX, crowdfunding portals).

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Zugah's platform and processes
Is this a government program?
No, Zugah is a private initiative. We work closely with government agencies, but remain fully independent.

Yes, shares are tradable or redeemable (depending on structure and partner exchange rules).
Are SMEs guaranteed returns?
No. This is real trade, not loans. However, collective structure reduces risk and improves reliability.
