Sierra Leone's first solar-powered clean water company. With £69,000 already invested in-kind, we are now seeking £300,000 to complete Site 1 (Mile 91) and launch commercial operations.
This is an early-stage impact investment in a commercially viable business with strong unit economics, a hybrid PET and aluminium product portfolio, and a phased three-site rollout strategy.
Conservative projections built on a phased three-site rollout. Site 1 (Mile 91) launches in Year 1 at 4M units. Sites 2 (Waterloo) and 3 (Matotoka) come online in Years 2 and 3 to take the network to 15M units by Year 5.
Capital is focused on completing Site 1 and launching commercial operations. Equipment and the off-grid energy system together account for 70% of the raise.
Investors receive equity proportional to contribution, to be discussed at NDA stage. Early investors benefit from pre-valuation pricing.
Production volumes, revenue, and ESG impact metrics shared with all investors every quarter from first month of operation.
Real-time access to social impact data, including jobs created, clean water access statistics, carbon saved, and packaging recycled.
Lead investors (£20,000+) invited to join the advisory board with direct access to the founder and leadership team.
Most early-stage businesses carry substantial market and technology risk. Bana Water has systematically reduced both.
Mile 91, Waterloo and Matotoka land is already owned by the company. Capex flows into equipment and solar, not real estate, meaningfully de-risking site rollout.
With £69,000 already invested in-kind, the round is partially committed before investors come in. This demonstrates founder conviction and reduces capital risk for incoming investors.
RO water filtration, solar arrays, PET bottling and aluminium canning are mature, globally proven technologies. No R&D risk, only implementation risk.
500ml PET bottles drive volume in the mass market while aluminium cans serve premium and hospitality demand. Most local competitors do one or the other, not both.
Solar power after capital investment is essentially free. Production cost structure improves every year as equipment is depreciated against free energy.
