1.
Event driven bespoke financing thanks to the transparency and traceabilty of the supply chain management process through Blockchain
2.
By using a Distributed Ledger Technology we will offer SMEs easy access to short-term financing by turning their accounts receivables into tradable assets;
3.
The use of Blockchain technology will reduce all transactional and organizational costs allowing greater flexibility on the types of loans;

This will be focused on export-oriented SMEs and will render liquidity at specific segments of the supply chain value until the final disposition (export) of the commodity or manufactured product;
5.
Levels of interest rates and durations of loans would be low and commensurate with the counterparties’ capabilities and the specific region, as the ecosystem will circumvent conventional loan frameworks;
6.
Smart contracts through the blockchain will allow repayment of loans through different forms (i.e. profit participation, off-take agreement, etc...) and identification and validation of different forms of collateral;
