Problem or Opportunity

Small businesses have a little credit line on banks. So, they have higher rates in other financial institutions. SMEs in Latin America struggle to grow because accessing credit continues to be a highly formalized and bureaucratic process. There is an SME credit gap of $250B in Latin America with two million SMEs reported as being un-served or underserved. The average interest rate charged by banks to SMEs is generally higher to countries in Latin America in comparison to other regions such as the U.S.

Solution

On the RedCapital Website, SMEs request money, then must be approved by our Scoring and investors can choose the loans or the invoices that they would like to invest in.

Customer Segments and Market

In the countries we will focus we estimate a Market of $60B.This is based on loans and factoring to SMEs through financial institutions other than Banks. Those institutions charge Small Businesses much more than Banks. We help them to get better rates in Chile and Perú. Latin America’s high-volume markets include Chile, Mexico, and Brazil.
