Understanding The Mandate
How many days separate cash paid to suppliers from cash collected from customers?
SME Finance & Banking Distribution
Even an established company can experience a cash gap when it has to pay suppliers well before customers settle invoices. The size of that gap changes with seasonality, inventory lead times and payment discipline, so an annual profit figure is rarely enough to size a facility.
AFII's advisory work considers cash-conversion cycles and the types of institutionally offered facilities that may fit them. A revolving line, receivables financing or purchase-linked facility can address different parts of the cycle, subject to the borrower's eligibility and the lender's terms.

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.
Size borrowing carefully
A short-lived mismatch should not automatically lead to a long-term debt commitment.
Review concentration
Reliance on a small number of customers or suppliers can change risk materially.
