FeedMatch Group is a supplier-neutral procurement platform — not a lender. We help feed mills, integrators, distributors and government buyers understand which financing instrument fits each purchase, and introduce qualified projects to independent third-party financing providers for evaluation. Multi-system industrial projects that go beyond feed are coordinated across the wider Global B2B Group procurement network.
FeedMatch Group is not a lender, bank, financial institution, credit provider, investment advisor, or regulated financial services provider. Financing requests submitted through this platform may, subject to user consent, be shared with independent third-party financing providers for evaluation purposes. Any financing approval, terms, pricing, underwriting, due diligence, and contractual arrangements are determined solely by the financing provider. Financing is not guaranteed and remains subject to eligibility, compliance checks, and lender approval.
Each instrument suits a different mix of ticket size, tenor, counterparty risk and country coverage. These are the same instruments the FeedMatch RFQ intake asks you to shortlist.
Medium- and long-term financing backed by an Export Credit Agency (SACE, EKF, US EXIM, Coface, UKEF, etc.). The ECA guarantees the lending bank against political and commercial risk, which unlocks longer tenors and more competitive pricing than pure commercial debt for equipment sourced from that country.
Short-term commercial bank facilities that fund a single shipment or a revolving line of shipments. Typical structures include pre-shipment finance, post-shipment discounting, receivables finance and structured commodity finance. Priced against SOFR/EURIBOR plus a spread reflecting counterparty and country risk.
A documentary Letter of Credit issued by the buyer's bank and confirmed (optionally) by the seller's bank. Payment is released against compliant shipping and quality documents. Usance LCs also act as short-term buyer financing by deferring settlement 30–180 days after presentation.
The feed manufacturer or trader extends payment terms directly — either on their own balance sheet or via a captive finance arm. Often combined with a small deposit and shipment guarantees. Simpler than bank financing but sits on the supplier's credit exposure and typically has a narrower ceiling.
Non- or limited-recourse debt secured against the future cash flows of a discrete project vehicle (SPV). Requires a feasibility study, EPC and O&M contracts, off-take agreements, sponsor equity (typically 25–35%) and a lender's technical/independent engineer review. Suited to capex-heavy programs above ~USD 15M.
Sovereign, development-finance-institution (IFC, EBRD, AfDB, IDB, FMO, DEG) or subsidised bilateral programs. Terms can be concessional (below-market rates, longer grace periods) but typically require alignment with a development mandate — food security, smallholder inclusion, ESG standards, local job creation.
Financing is a first-class field in the FeedMatch RFQ intake — not an afterthought. Suppliers see your posture up front, and, when you ask us to, we forward the same context to an independent financing provider.
In the RFQ intake, pick one of four statuses: not needed (cash / own funds), exploring options, pre-approved by a bank, or already committed. This sets expectations with suppliers on payment terms.
Tick any combination of export credit, trade finance, LC, supplier financing, project finance or DFI/government programs. You can leave it open and let the provider recommend a structure.
Matched feed manufacturers and traders receive your financing context alongside the technical spec, so their offers reflect realistic payment terms — LC at sight, 90-day usance, deferred, ECA-backed, etc.
If you tick 'send my requirements for financing evaluation', we forward a confidential summary to an independent third-party provider. Approval, pricing and terms remain 100% with the provider.
