VFN is an integrated network of cottage entrepreneurs connected through our virtual platform. Through the VFN we provide this community of creatives and cottage industries with integrated services to enable them grow their businesses.
The VFN invests in the value chains that creatives, artisans, and cottage industry entrepreneurs need to refine & scale their businesses. It creates a circular system among these dependent industries establishing connections to ease communication, opportunity creation, and access to information.
We offer raw material inputs, product development training, access to market (through our Omwoleso) and access to Finance through the network.
