Project scope and objective

Periodically renewable medium-term funding granted by the IIC will enable Café Britt to cover current and future permanent working capital needs, particularly with respect to inventory. This financing will also supplement Café Britt’s local short-term lines, facilitating the consolidation of its operations in the different markets where it operates.


Café Britt is a company that dates back to 1985 when it began operations in Costa Rica. In the last decade, in addition to having consolidated the quality of its principal original products (gourmet coffee and chocolates) internationally, Café Britt has expanded a successful business model of tourist and airport shops, focusing on diversifying and offering locally authentic, value added products at each point and in each country where it operates.
