FAQ

For sellers

Once the contracts are signed and the buyer's deposit is received, we pay you the full price of the equipment on shipment. Collecting payment from the buyer is then our responsibility.
No. Once we have bought the equipment from you and shipped it, the risk of buyer non-payment passes to us. You have already been paid.
No. The deal is funded by us and by partner investors. You have no cash-flow gap.
The cost is a fixed mark-up percentage per deal. You decide whether to build it into the price for the buyer or absorb it as a sales-conversion tool.
Inspection fee + a fixed mark-up % that includes delivery + any additional costs caused by the client (e.g. customs storage). Specific rates are calculated individually per deal.

For buyers

A deposit of about 30% (or a letter of credit opened in our favour), with the balance on arrival of the equipment at the agreed point. The deposit amount is confirmed per deal.
You don't have to transfer the deposit in cash at all — instead you can open a letter of credit for the deposit amount; this is standard practice and the funds stay under bank control. Moreover, we don't need your financing: we can fund the deal entirely ourselves. Until full payment, the equipment stays under our control.
Before any payment, a technical and legal inspection is carried out: condition, ownership, export documents, and confirmation that the unit is not stolen, leased or pledged. The report is provided to you. The inspection is performed by professional firms operating in the seller's country; the choice of experts is agreed with you in advance.
We may decline to finance a unit with material technical or legal problems that would block resale. The inspection fee is not refundable.
The client, under a separate contract. Cost depends on unit type and country. Used units are always inspected.
Customs clearance in the destination country is done by the buyer. Export clearance in the country of dispatch is handled by us.
Yes. The scheme also works for buyers who don't yet have the full amount because the purchase is financed through leasing or a bank loan. You arrange the leasing company or lending bank yourself.

For investors

Every loan is secured by a specific unit of equipment tied to a VIN or serial number — not by an abstract balance. Title and control stay on our side until full payment.

For each deal we run an individual liquidity analysis of the specific unit you finance. Its market price is established in advance, based on available auctions in Europe, the UAE or the USA; for each deal we pre-select the auction where the unit will be sold if the buyer fails to pay.

The price structure and the buyer's deposit are calculated so that, thanks to the deposit paid, your collateral is equipment held at roughly a 30% discount to its current market price — and so that those funds also cover both delivery of the unit to the auction and the discount itself for a fast sale.
We keep control of the asset and sell it through a fallback market (including auction / resale channels). The exposure is closed against the asset, not against a promise.
The return and the term are set per deal and depend on the asset, the route and the structure. The investor portal is by invitation only.
For each investor we select a convenient structure — through the investor's own SPV or by direct loans. Contact us and we'll find the most workable option for your situation.

Important: we are not a bank, we hold no banking licence and we do not take deposits from the public. We do not accept investments in breach of applicable law. Any investment is made by the investor independently and at their own risk; returns are not guaranteed. The specific structure and eligibility to participate are determined individually and confirmed with legal counsel for each deal.

General

For each deal — and depending on the investor financing it — an appropriate SPV is selected in the jurisdiction most convenient for the transaction. For the buyer and the seller, simple sale-and-purchase contracts with the SPV are normally used. Factoring contracts are also possible — where a direct sale-and-purchase contract between seller and buyer needs to be preserved, for example to keep warranty / service obligations on the equipment.
Title and physical/document control stay on our side until the buyer pays in full. The asset is released only after final settlement.
We keep control of the asset, remove it from the country and liquidate it through a fallback market. The deposit is forfeited. The buyout window is 7 calendar days.
We handle delivery ourselves — it is fully included in the cost of our services. Specialised freight-forwarding and logistics companies are engaged for transport, depending on the type of equipment.
Yes. All equipment is insured for the delivery period without exception.
Export origin: EU, USA, China, Japan, UAE, South Korea. Delivery: countries whose customs regime allows title transfer before duties and re-export if unpaid.
Yes, but it depends on which country you're shipping from and to. Send us a request and we'll discuss it separately.
It depends on the route, the country and the type of equipment. We give an indicative timeline when we calculate the specific deal.
Currency and typical timelines to be confirmed per route.
No. It is controlled transaction finance secured by a specific, identifiable asset — not unsecured lending.
