For Founders & Operators · Seed and Early Stage · Working Capital

Don't sell equity
to fund a
purchase order.

SPV I finances the working capital gap that sits between a signed order and the day you get paid. Purchase orders, receivables, inventory in transit, commodity-backed positions. Self-liquidating facilities on 30–180 day cycles, underwritten by an operator who has physically executed these transactions across six corridors since 2005 — not by a credit model that has never seen a bill of lading.

The Problem

Equity is the most
expensive way to fund
a 90-day gap.

Early-stage companies with real orders routinely raise dilutive capital to cover a timing mismatch that resolves itself in a quarter. The round gets priced off a moment of cash weakness, and the founder pays for that timing for the life of the company.

1

You win the order

A creditworthy buyer issues a confirmed PO, or you complete a shipment and invoice on net terms.

2

The gap opens

Suppliers, freight, and duties are payable now. The buyer pays in 30–90 days. The gap is cash you do not have.

3

SPV I funds the gap

A facility sized to the transaction, secured by the order or receivable, priced to the cycle — not to your cap table.

4

It self-liquidates

The buyer pays. The facility clears. Your ownership is unchanged and the line is available for the next cycle.

SPV I takes no equity, no board seat, and no information rights beyond what is required to underwrite and monitor the facility. If an equity conversation makes sense, that is a separate discussion with SPV II — and it is your call to open it.
Eligibility

Who this is for —
and who it isn't.

We would rather be direct at the top of the funnel than waste a founder's month. Read this honestly before you apply. A "no" here is not a judgment on your company; it is a statement about what this particular vehicle is built to finance.

✓ STRONG FIT

You move physical goods

Agri commodities, food and ingredients, base metals, energy products, electronic components, packaged consumer goods. Anything with a bill of lading, a warehouse receipt, or a verifiable title chain.

✓ STRONG FIT

You have a named counterparty

A confirmed purchase order or an issued invoice against a buyer whose credit we can assess. The strength of the facility rests on your buyer's ability to pay, not only on your balance sheet.

✓ STRONG FIT

You are in our corridors

United States, India, UAE and the wider GCC, Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, and selected African markets. Corridor familiarity is what lets us underwrite quickly and price sensibly.

— NOT THIS VEHICLE

Pre-revenue software

No orders, no receivables, no collateral means nothing for a self-liquidating facility to liquidate against. Talk to SPV II about equity instead.

— NOT THIS VEHICLE

General runway funding

We finance identified transactions, not payroll, burn, or a general corporate purpose. If the use of funds cannot be tied to a specific order or receivable, this is the wrong instrument.

— NOT THIS VEHICLE

Restructuring existing debt

SPV I funds new commercial activity. Refinancing distressed obligations, paying down other lenders, or bridging an unresolved dispute is outside the mandate.

Typical Situations

The shapes this
usually takes.

If your situation resembles one of these, the conversation will move quickly because we have financed the pattern before. If it resembles none of them, describe it plainly in the form and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.

PO FINANCE

First large order from a national buyer

You have spent two years selling to regional accounts and just landed an order four times your monthly volume. Your supplier wants payment against proforma. Your buyer pays net-60.

FACTORING

Growth capped by collection terms

Every rupee or dollar of growth is locked in receivables for 60 days. You can sell more tomorrow but cannot buy more today. The constraint is terms, not demand.

COMMODITY

Inventory in transit or in store

Goods are bought and moving, title is clear, and the sale is contracted or highly probable — but the capital is immobilised for the length of the voyage or the storage period.

STRUCTURED

Seasonal or harvest-cycle build

Procurement is concentrated into a short window while sales are spread across the year. You need to fund the window without raising a round timed to your weakest cash month.

CROSS-BORDER

First export shipment

A new corridor brings documentation, duties, freight prepayment, and an unfamiliar counterparty. We have operated these corridors as a principal and can underwrite the trade, not just the paper.

RBF

Repayment that tracks collections

Revenue is real but lumpy. A fixed amortisation schedule would break in a slow month. Repayment sized as a share of collections fits the business as it actually behaves.

Process

From application
to facility.

A short, honest process with a real answer at each stage. We will tell you no quickly if the answer is no, and we will tell you what would change it.

1

Submit

Complete the form below. It takes about ten minutes if you have your order or invoice detail to hand. No deck required.

2

Initial read

We assess corridor, counterparty, collateral, and cycle length, and come back with a straight yes, no, or a specific question.

3

Diligence

Transaction documents, counterparty verification, collateral confirmation, and sanctions and KYC screening on all parties.

4

Facility terms

Structure, pricing, security, and drawdown mechanics documented and agreed. Deployment follows execution.

What to have ready

  • The purchase order, contract, or invoice the facility would fund
  • Names of the buyer and supplier, and how long you have traded with each
  • Last twelve months of revenue and the gross margin on the transaction
  • Certificate of incorporation and beneficial ownership detail for KYC
  • Where the goods are, who holds title, and how they are insured

How we underwrite

  • The counterparty first. Who pays, and what is their record of paying?
  • The collateral second. Is title verifiable and is the security enforceable?
  • The corridor third. Do we know the route, the documents, and the risks?
  • The operator fourth. Have you run this transaction type before?
  • Sanctions and KYC throughout. OFAC screening on every party, no exceptions.
