What Africa Capital Markets Corporation (ACMC) does

Africa Capital Markets Corporation (ACMC) is a privately held investment bank (banque d'affaires) founded in 2020 by Mike COFFI and headquartered in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. The firm delivers financial advisory services across sub-Saharan Africa, organized around four core lines: M&A advisory (buy-side and sell-side mandates), strategic and financial advisory (business planning and structuring), structured finance (capital increases, acquisition financing, project finance, mezzanine debt), and investment fund structuring and management. ACMC earns revenue through transaction fees on advisory mandates, retainer/professional-services fees on strategic engagements, deal fees on structured financing, and management/performance fees on internally managed funds. The firm has advised on 76 transactions totaling 342 billion FCFA across 12 countries, positioning itself as an independent platform targeting mid-market and large enterprises, government entities across the UEMOA region, and qualified investors.

ACMC's underlying technology stack is not proprietary and centers on the integrated expertise of roughly 11 named senior professionals. The firm has extended its reach through four wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: Management Properties (real estate management and project structuring), ACMC Logistics operating the GREEN PARK CITY brand (urban mobility and parking management with a mobile reservation/payment app), Vatel Côte d'Ivoire/ACMC Academy (hospitality and tourism management education under the global Vatel franchise), and Alioth System Côte d'Ivoire (PAY-GO solar home systems and green mobility). It also manages two proprietary funds: Genesis Hospitality Immo Fund (10 billion FCFA target, 6-year horizon) and Detect Pro Fund (4.3 billion FCFA target, sports/football talent development in partnership with PSG Academy Pro Senegal).

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven: senior ACMC professionals directly engage enterprise and government decision-makers through mandates, tenders, and referrals, supplemented by participation in flagship African investment forums (AFSIC, CITHA, Excellence Côte d'Ivoire Forum) and a LinkedIn-led content presence. Customer segments are hybrid — private enterprises (primary), government and public sector (primary), and qualified investors (secondary) — with named engagement across oil & gas (Pétro Ivoire), logistics (SIMAT), banking (Versus Bank), financial services (COFINA), and government social-security institutions (CNPS). No public pricing is disclosed; engagements are quote-based, consistent with a boutique advisory model.
