Trade finance for clean energy

Good clean energy projects die for one reason. Nobody will finance them.

We're the credit engine that lets equipment suppliers safely extend payment terms to their customers. So real projects, with real paying buyers, actually get built.

The deal that should close, but doesn't

A cold storage operator, a bottler, a maize mill operator is tired of an unreliable grid and the diesel bill that comes with keeping the lights on. Solar fixes both: stable power and a lower energy cost. The project is sound. It pays for itself from the first month.

But it stalls. The supplier won't extend payment terms because they can't tell who will actually pay. Banks and climate funds won't underwrite the customer. No credit rating, too far away, too small to assess.

So the deal dies. Not because it's risky. Because nobody can price it.

How it works

Your outsourced credit desk

When you have a real, contract-backed order, we make the "yes" safe, and we only get paid when you close.

  1. 01

    Verify

    We confirm the order, the buyer, and the contract are real.

  2. 02

    Underwrite

    We underwrite the transaction behind the purchase order, focusing on the corporate off-taker's ability to pay, not just the contractor's balance sheet.

  3. 03

    Structure

    We set the terms that protect your money: deposit, tenor, milestones.

  4. 04

    Collect

    We secure repayment directly from the end customer, so cash never goes missing in between.

You extend your own capital. We make it safe and run the collection.

How we work with suppliers

Who it's for

Two sides of the same deal

Equipment suppliers & distributors

Close more sales safely. Say yes to contract-backed orders you would otherwise turn away, without building a credit team.
