This is a revolutionary new funding facility for Suppliers/Installers. It enables them to pay for the equipment/stock they need to carry out a contract. They then have 4 months to repay, giving them enough time to install and be paid by the end-user. It turns them into a cash-buyer, and enables them to bid for large projects without affecting their cash-flow adversely.

How is it different?
- Trade Finance PAYS your SUPPLIERS
- Invoice Discounting/Factoring
COLLECTS/ADVANCES money regarding your
CUSTOMERS
(So, Trade Finance is for earlier in the sales cycle,
BEFORE you have started the contract)

How is Trade Finance used?
-Trade Finance focuses on you (the Buyer), being able to
pay your suppliers (the Sellers) anywhere in the world for
their goods or services.
- You demonstrate an upcoming contract to the funder, and
the funder agrees to pay your key supplier(s) up front so
that you can carry out the contract in terms of your cash
flow.
-You repay the sum in up to 4 months time, AFTER you’ve
been paid by your customer
