Working together with
SDG 7 is essentially solved. We can provide energy access to all. We have solar and battery technology. We have the ability to distribute to the last mile and the technology is affordable to all...if paid on credit. So the only issue is how do we provide credit sustainably to the people in need?

HOW BRIDGIN WORKS
Bridgin allows distributors providing credit or any leasing business to connect their loan management platform (such as PaygOps, Angaza, etc) and make their assets available for investors to easily purchase pools of receivables. In return, the distributors get instant liquidity to scale their operations.
After purchasing the assets, customer repayments go straight to investors, who visualise the portfolio performance in their BI tool.
With this unlocked cash, distributors can scale their operations and reach more customers at the last mile.
Bridgin unlocks new capital sources, channelling more funding towards traditionally overlooked companies serving the bottom of the pyramid and are needed to close the funding gap

SUCCESSFUL EARLY PILOT
In order to demonstrate how financing last-mile operators through receivable financing mechanism benefits distributors and investors alike, we piloted a true receivables purchasing platform in Kenya.
FGV, the investor, recovered 40% of the purchase value after 3 months / 100% at year 1
Pawame, the distributor, got access to funding when most options were not available.
Distributors Story
“Access to working capital financing remains one of our sector's most significant challenges, and we're excited to partner with Paygops and FGV on this innovative approach to the issue. We look forward to significantly increasing Pawame's scalability through this opportunity."
Maurice Parets, Pawame’s CEO
Investors Story
“Managing the due diligence and complex debt structuring can be rather challenging for investors in the Paygo market due to the inconsistency of data formats we are presented with. Having access to standardised data and being able to exhaustively assess receivables portfolios from early-stage distributors through PaygOps' mechanism is a game-changer for investors in terms of costs and time-saving.
