Build-Ready — model, risk framework and distribution strategy complete.

Overview

Ledgerpoint underwrites verified cross-border SME trade and embeds financing at the point the transaction is agreed.

The problem

Creditworthy SMEs cannot access trade finance because their counterparty risk cannot be verified cheaply.

The customer

Importers and exporters turning $1M–$50M annually.

Why now

Verified counterparty data now exists inside commercial networks, making underwriting viable.

Market opportunity

A trade finance gap measured in the trillions, with SMEs the most rationed segment.

Competitive landscape

Banks retreating from the segment; fintechs without counterparty verification.

The proposition

Financing that arrives with the deal, not months after it.

Business model

Origination fees, financing spread and platform distribution partnerships.

Growth thesis

Verification quality lowers loss rates, which lowers cost of capital, which wins volume — a compounding loop.

Revenue architecture
  • Origination fees
  • Net financing spread
  • Verification and reporting services
  • Platform distribution partnerships
What development requires
  • Licensing and regulatory architecture
  • Underwriting model and risk framework
  • Capital partner syndicate
  • Platform build and distribution integrations

Indicative $8M–$20M including a first-loss facility, alongside partner lending capital.

Key risks
  • Regulatory approval timelines
  • Credit performance in a first cycle
  • Cost of capital sensitivity
