Trade Finance - Cape to Cairo



Africa has been summed up as follows: Africa has the land, water and people needed to be an efficient producer and derive a competitive advantage in Agriculture, both to feed an expanding urban population and to generate export income enabling many to reduce poverty and boost economic growth. 
The challenge is our ability to finance Agriculture, the risks involved in primary agriculture  are well stated, climate change, post harvest losses and an inefficient marketing system makes the most lucrative enterprise fall flat on its face.
Imagine for a while from Cape to Cairo the ability to forecast demand, grow with a confirmed order, get paid and ship from Cape Town to a buyer in Egypt who needs that ingredient to fulfill an order from a multinational headquartered in London. 
These possibilities are endless. from Charting a Demand Forecast - a Farmer can be advanced 20%, with a Confirmed Order 25%, Invoicing 35% and on Shipping the balance of 20% enabling a smooth supply chain for the customer in Egypt and the Farmer in Cape Town.

Age of Technology

Internet Banking, Agency Banking and other Self Service Channels have revolutionized the way we access and use banking services. Sadly though Lending has still remained medieval; due to stringent Banking Regulations and mostly because many Small Businesses lack Collateral to secure this Credit. Technology has not been as fluent in supporting this challenge hence the Wallet Trade Finance Platform (WTFP). We are building a business that not only addresses the access to Credit challenge digitally, but also enables adherence to stringent Banking Regulations including Credit Quality Scoring, Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) Protocols. We don't intend to change anything, we simply hope to profitably disrupt the Billion Dollar Trade Finance business and with some Luck build a Revolutionary Business Model.
