Note: this type of loan involves risks. Factoring is still in its infancy in Africa and the track record of such products is therefore limited.

Credit risk is hedged through a combination of pledged invoices, credit guarantees and a 20% deposit, which the client builds up with Financial Access over a period of six months.
