How to Raise Investment in Kyrgyzstan: A Guide for Projects

This page is a practical guide. The Kyrgyz Invest platform is an information service; we are not a broker and we do not handle funds. All participation decisions rest with the investor and the project initiator.

1. Who it suits

• An operating business that is scaling (manufacturing, processing, garment production, agriculture, tourism, services).
• New projects with a CAPEX estimate, confirmed demand and a team.

2. How it works on the platform

1. Application for publication → moderation.
2. Project listing with figures and photos.
3. Request for materials from investors.
4. Call / meeting, answering questions.
5. Due diligence against a checklist.
6. Term sheet and the contract package.
7. Funding and KPI reporting.

3. What to prepare (minimum)

• One-pager (1 page): problem → solution → product → market → team → figures → investment request → use of funds.
• Short presentation (10–12 slides):
  1. Title and the essence of the project.
  2. Product/service and its value.
  3. Market and customers (domestic/export).
  4. Competitors and your advantage.
  5. Production/technology/resources.
  6. Raw materials and logistics.
  7. Sales and contracts (if you have LOIs/agreements).
  8. Financial model (revenue, gross margin, OPEX).
  9. Investment request and use of funds (CAPEX/working capital).
  10. Team and roles.
  11. Risks and how you manage them.
  12. Project schedule and milestones.
• Financial model: P&L, cash flow, capacity utilisation, unit economics (price → cost → gross profit/unit).
• Photo/video of the site, equipment and products.

Important! Not every project needs the full set of documents, and not always. A lot depends on the individual specifics and stage. Register on the platform, fill in the form via “Add listing”, and we will advise you.

4. Documents for due diligence

Corporate: charter/decisions/extract, ownership structure.
Finances: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow (12–24 months), account turnover, loans/credits.
Taxes: certificates of no arrears.
Contracts: key contracts with suppliers/buyers, pricing/deferred-payment schedules.
Assets: ownership/lease title (land, buildings, equipment), pledges.
Licences/permits: by profile (sanitary, veterinary control, etc.).
Personnel: headcount/payroll, contracts.
Plan for using the investment: an estimate, a calendar plan, KPIs.

5. How to describe the “investment request”

• Amount and stages (three tranches against milestones).
• Intended use (CAPEX/working capital).
• Participation format (equity, loan, hybrid — conversion, equipment collateral).
• Security (if any: pledge, guarantee, covenants).
• Expected results (capacity, revenue, margin, break-even points).

6. What goes into the project listing on the site

• A short “Summary” (3–5 sentences).
• Blocks: Product/Technology → Location/Assets → Use of investment → Market/Sales → Risks/Control → Participation format → See also.
• 1–2 photos at 800×600 without logos or text, with alt text containing the key phrase.

7. Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

• No unit-economics figures. Show the price, cost and margin/unit.
• Unclear use of funds. Provide an estimate and a calendar.
• Relying on a single sales channel only. Diversify.
• General words instead of proof of demand. LOIs, a contract, sales history, orders.

8. Ready to submit a project?

• Fill in the publication form.
• Attach a one-pager/presentation and photos.
• After moderation, the project will appear in the catalogue.
