SME Business & Digital Readiness Assessment
Measure, benchmark, and accelerate your organisation's digital maturity with Ghana's first structured SME diagnostic tool.
The Problem We're Solving
The digital readiness gap
Across Ghana's SME sector, the inability to objectively measure and communicate digital readiness is a persistent bottleneck — for the enterprises themselves, for the financial institutions trying to assess them, and for development programmes trying to deploy technical assistance at scale.
Without a credible, structured diagnostic, interventions are too often misaligned with enterprise needs, and meaningful progress is difficult to evidence.
SME Business & Digital Readiness Assessment
Maturity scoring across 5 interconnected dimensions
The Assessment
Five Dimensions
The SDRA profiles SMEs across five interconnected dimensions, producing a Level 1–4 maturity score per dimension and a composite Digital Readiness Index.
Digital Infrastructure
Connectivity, devices, cloud adoption, and cybersecurity posture.
Financial Management
Accounting software, digital payments, and financial reporting.
Process Automation
Workflow automation, CRM, and operational digitisation.
Data & Analytics
Data collection, dashboards, and data-driven decision-making.
Digital Leadership
Digital strategy, investment, skills, and innovation culture.
What Makes It Distinctive
Built for Ghana
Contextualised for Ghana & West Africa
Benchmarks are calibrated to local infrastructure realities, not transposed from Western markets.
Built for DFI & Lending Use
The scoring framework explicitly links digital maturity to credit readiness, enabling financial institutions to embed it within SME appraisal and portfolio monitoring.
Scalable Across Formats
Administrable as a rapid self-assessment (45 min), a facilitated diagnostic (2–3 hours), or a portfolio-wide screening instrument across large enterprise cohorts.
Action-Oriented Outputs
Every assessment produces a Digital Readiness Improvement Roadmap with initiatives, owners, and costed, sequenced recommendations — not just a score.
Aggregable at Portfolio Level
Outputs include sector heat maps and TA prioritisation matrices, allowing resources to be concentrated where impact potential is highest.
Composite Digital Readiness Index
A single, benchmarkable score that communicates an enterprise's digital maturity to investors, lenders, and programme managers instantly.
