Strategic Outlook
As well as completing the first Open-Funding securitisation transaction, the Company expects to have delivered on Captive-Funding and Self-Funding initiatives by the end of the first quarter of 2021.
There is a large and growing international addressable market for inventory funding. Supply@ME is aiming for its Inventory Monetisation Platform to be the leading fintech operator in the sector. We expect the number of Client companies being sourced and monetised to continue to grow rapidly, in direct proportion to the funding available.
The model is highly scalable as can be seen by the availability of partners in the UK, Middle East and US to join with the Company to develop an international Platform. In 2021 Supply@ME aims to have started operations in each of these regions.
Directors' statement under section 172 (1) of the Companies Act 2006
Section 172 (1) of the Companies Act obliges the Directors to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of the Company's members as a whole.
This section specifies that the Directors must act in good faith when promoting the success of the Company and in doing so have regard (amongst other things) to:
1. the likely consequences of any decision in the long term,
2. the interests of the Company's employees,
3. the need to foster the Company's business relationship with suppliers, customers and others,
4. the impact of the Company's operations on the community and environment,
5. the desirability of the Company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct, and
6. the need to act fairly as between members of the Company.
The Directors believe they have acted in the way they consider most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole, as required by Section 172 (1) of the Companies Act 2006.
At this time, the Board believes that it is compliant with all ten Principles of the QCA Code. More information can be found on pages 18-25.
