Fund unveiled at LTIF 2026 in Accra as Loveworld pushes plan to build a structured business and investment ecosystem
ACCRA, Ghana — Loveworld has launched a $1 million capital fund to provide growth financing to entrepreneurs and businesses within its network, as the organisation moves to strengthen enterprise, investment and production across its business community.
The Loveworld Capital Fund was unveiled at the just-concluded Loveworld Trade and Investment Forum (LTIF) 2026, held in Accra, Ghana, on October 6 and 7.
The fund was established through the organisation’s Ministry of Commerce and is designed to provide capital to businesses positioned for growth and expansion.
According to the organisers, the initiative is intended to address one of the persistent challenges facing entrepreneurs — access to patient and growth-oriented capital.
Rather than relying solely on conventional lending channels, the fund is expected to direct capital towards selected businesses within the Loveworld network, with a focus on stimulating production, strengthening existing enterprises and supporting new businesses.
Building the “Loveworld Economy”
The launch forms part of what organisers describe as a broader strategy to develop what they call the “Loveworld Economy” — an organised network in which capital, enterprise and business opportunities can circulate within the community.
Speaking at the launch, the Chief Host and Executive Minister of Discipleship, Pastor Biodun Lawal, said a significant portion of the fund would be directed towards what the leadership describes as “Kingdom economy advancement.”
For Loveworld’s Ministry of Commerce, the initiative is being positioned as more than a one-off fundraising exercise.
Executive Minister of Commerce, Stephanie Oforka, said the fund is intended to increase business ownership, investment and enterprise development across the network.
“The $1 million is not merely a financial milestone,” Oforka said.
She said the fund would increase the capacity to support enterprise, stimulate production and enable business growth and expansion, with the broader goal of making Loveworld businesses stronger, more scalable and competitive.
“We want to see Kingdom capital deliberately financing Kingdom enterprise. This is the Loveworld Economy in action,” she said.
From capital to production
The launch comes against the backdrop of the central message of LTIF 2026, which focused on “Building the Future Through Production, Trade, Trust and Innovation.”
Throughout the two-day forum, speakers and business leaders examined how Africa can move beyond its vast natural and human potential towards greater production, investment and value creation.
The capital fund brings that conversation closer to the businesses within the Loveworld network.
For entrepreneurs, access to capital can determine whether a promising business remains small or gains the resources needed to expand — from purchasing equipment and hiring workers to developing products, entering new markets and increasing production.
The organisers say the new fund will therefore target strategic businesses within the network.
Who can access the fund?
The Loveworld Capital Fund is expected to deploy its resources to selected businesses and entrepreneurs within the Loveworld network.
However, the Ministry of Commerce has not yet publicly detailed the full application process, eligibility requirements, investment terms, interest or return structure, selection criteria or disbursement timeline.
The ministry is expected to communicate further details on applications and allocation criteria.
For now, the $1 million launch represents an attempt to connect capital with enterprise and turn the broader LTIF conversation about production into a practical financing mechanism.
And as Africa’s entrepreneurs continue to search for capital to build and scale, Loveworld is betting that one way to build an economic ecosystem is to begin by financing the businesses within its own network.
