Opportunity Description
The Cake Cartel is an artisanal bakery brand in Addis Ababa focused on cake cups, custom cakes and indulgent desserts for everyday treats, celebrations and corporate orders. The opportunity is to build on the brand's distinctive products and grow a bakery business with a clear focus on taste, presentation and customer experience.
The business is seeking a capital partner within the advertised ETB 3,000,000–5,000,000 range to support its next stage of growth. Potential priorities include expanding production capacity, upgrading equipment and packaging, strengthening working capital, and improving the way customers discover, order and receive products.
The proposed partnership would combine the operating team's product knowledge and day-to-day involvement with an investor's capital and commercial perspective. Growth could be developed through direct orders, celebrations, corporate gifting, selected café and hospitality partnerships, and carefully planned retail or delivery channels.
The aim would be to expand at a pace that protects product consistency, keeps costs under control and builds repeat business. Any investment would be subject to a review of the business, its financial records and its operating requirements. Valuation, ownership, profit sharing, responsibilities and the use of funds would be agreed between the parties before a commitment is made.
