Who we are

Our ambition is to be the capital partner Botswana's builders call first: patient where a business is growing, disciplined where the risk is real.

NextCap sits in the Financial Services division of DLX Africa, a group of ten businesses across industrial projects, trading and distribution, financial services and consumer services. We exist so that every business in the group, and every promising firm around it, has capital when it needs it.

Our model

Capital follows the customer

Most financiers wait for a business plan. We start with a sale. Our trading and project units serve customers every day, and each sale shows us who is growing, what they need next and what it is worth to back it.

What we do

Four ways capital goes to work

Funding for the stock that moves through our trading and distribution units, and for the customers who buy from them.

  • Supplier and inventory funding for group units
  • Payment terms that keep customer orders moving
  • Repaid from the sale it funds

How we invest

Four rules we do not bend

They keep a small, young group focused while it builds a larger one.

Follow real demand

We fund activity that already has customers. A confirmed order is worth more to us than a forecast.

Stay asset-light

We prefer structures that need less fixed capital and bring it back sooner, so each pula works more than once.

Partner with the people who run it

Skilled operators lead each business and decide close to the customer. We supply capital, systems and support.

Govern closely

Clear authority limits, matters reserved to the board, and regular review of every business we fund.
