It’s a pleasure you’re trying to understand our service model.
I reply to your points:
Competition
- pay attention that all the initiatives you mentioned (I know very well) are trade receivables based
- the banks you mentioned use technology in order to improve their processes (UX, analysis, reporting, ...)
- neither of the banks or FinTech above created a new product for the Client company (they finance trade receivables - old product)
- the trade receivables (we could extend also to payables) market is well covered: thousands and thousands of players (banks, funds, FinTech or techfin...)
SYME value proposition: the new “wheel” because it’s a new product (inventory monetisation and not Financing). You know there are in the market asset based lenders/ banks but their product has these features:
- a small % of financing ratio (30-40%)
- only specific sectors because they have not evolute processes in order to assess and monitor the stocks (by the way banks are exiting even from commodities market!)
- for a Company it’s a debt and accordingly Banks ask also collateral (personal guarantee, pledge, ...)
The shortcomings above are all covered by our service
- monetisation 100% VAT included
- all sectors
- no debt (true sales - fully derecognition)
How the service work?
- Client Company has the ownership of the inventory (just purchased - also based on trade finance - or produced)
- Client Company sells the inventory to the Platform (special purpose vehicle which buy stocks from several Client Companies portfolio based) and get cash
- Client Company continues to manage physically the inventory just sold to the Platform (it moves from principal to agent)
- once the Client Company sells to its the end customer the inventory which has on consignment has to report the sales to the Platform (because legally and from a tax perspective has to repurchase what has already sold)
- the Platform issues a buyback invoice vis-a-vis the Client Company
- the Client Company can pay this invoice selling new inventory
- and the process continue for 3 years
- at the end of 3 years Client Company can renew the contract or pay the sold stocks via cash
- in case of unsold the Platform pick up the inventory and resell it to Remarketers (other Supply Chain Companies to which the Platform has a binding put option)
THE NEW WHEEL...
Regards
I cannot claim to fully understand that response but it has helped hugely - I Hope it answers some of your questions also.
