Understand the use of funds
Inventory, receivables, equipment and long-term expansion should not be treated as interchangeable uses of borrowed money.
Business Borrowing
SME Credit & Business Finance
A practical funding discussion based on business operations and repayment capacity.
Understanding The Mandate
What will the finance pay for, and how will the business generate repayment cash?
SME Finance & Banking Distribution
An SME borrowing requirement may arise from working capital, capacity expansion, an acquisition or replacement of machinery. The right lender and instrument depend on why the funds are needed and what the business can reasonably repay over time.
AFII's SME finance approach is to clarify the request, look at available records and assess which type of financing partner may be relevant. Credit appraisal remains the responsibility of the financing institution; an advisory discussion should not be mistaken for loan approval or a funding commitment.
The Issues That MatterWhat The Structure
What The Structure
Needs To Address.
Each mandate needs a different balance of structure, commercial judgement and execution. These themes explain the practical issues that usually shape the work.
Review business evidence
Accounts, tax records, banking conduct, existing obligations and customer concentration can affect credit suitability.
Approach the appropriate institution
Requirements can be packaged in a coherent form for the relevant banks, NBFCs or other licensed financiers.

Nothing replaces the review of contracts, financial information and the particular circumstances of the borrower, project or investment. Each engagement remains specific to the transaction, counterparties and jurisdiction involved.
