Abstract
Capital access is a key challenge for the growth of inclusive businesses. This analysis reviews IAP's strategies to fill financing gaps through a combination of grants, strategic advising, and investor matchmaking. The approach highlights the importance of tailored support and locally adapted financing solutions to scale social and environmental impact sustainably. The paper additionally provides practical guidance for developing financial strategies that help inclusive enterprises become operationally sustainable while achieving their development goals.
