Guarantees & structured finance
You provide the guarantees, leasing, warehouse-receipt finance, factoring and pre-financing that unlock credit for agro-industrial projects.
Credit guarantees, leasing, warehouse-receipt finance, factoring, crop pre-financing and concessional finance.
What this service covers
This service brings together the instruments that complement or secure conventional credit: credit guarantees shared with banks, leasing for equipment and machinery, warehouse-receipt finance backed by stored produce, factoring of trade receivables, crop pre-financing by buyers and concessional finance on adapted terms. It is delivered by public development banks and funds and by commercial banks, and on an ancillary basis by microfinance institutions, equipment suppliers, warehouses and buying houses. Typical deliverables are the guarantee letter, the lease contract, the warehouse receipt, the advance on harvest or the financing agreement. It differs from direct financing in that each operation is backed by an asset or a third party.
- Risk analysis and risk sharing between guarantor, lender and borrower
- Structuring of leasing for agricultural and industrial equipment
- Warehouse-receipt finance: valuation of stored produce and receipt management
- Factoring and pre-financing backed by sales and export contracts
- Arrangement of concessional finance and refinancing lines
- Monitoring of financed assets and pledged stocks
Benefits for producers, cooperatives, companies and institutions
Producers and cooperatives borrow against their stocks and sell at the best moment rather than at harvest.
Processing companies acquire equipment through leasing without tying up all of their initial capital.
Exporters pre-finance their purchases and speed up their cash flow by factoring their receivables.
Banks lend more to agricultural value chains when guarantees share the risk with them.
Institutions channel concessional resources towards projects that fit into structured value chains.
Why this service matters in Cameroon and Central Africa
In the agri-food value chains of Cameroon and the CEMAC area, access to credit runs into the absence of conventional collateral and the seasonality of income. Guarantees and structured finance answer this constraint by backing credit with an asset or a third party: the stored produce, the leased equipment, the receivable from a buyer or the commitment of a guarantee fund. Public development banks, commercial banks and chain actors — warehouses, buying houses, equipment suppliers — thus cooperate to finance seasons, equipment and exports. These instruments reduce lenders’ risk and widen the financing available to the projects that produce, process and export across the region.
