The marketplace

Prepare once. Then choose who receives it.

LitFin is the credit marketplace for East Africa. The lenders and the products they offer sit inside the product, beside the pack you built with us, so choosing one is a decision you make with your own business in front of you.

Open the marketplace See how preparation works

Nothing moves until you choose. We do not share your data with lenders you have not chosen.

How it works

A marketplace you enter prepared, not empty-handed.

Your pack is built first

The application, the business plan, the three financial statements and the supporting documents, worked through with you until no gap is left open. That happens before any lender is chosen, because it is what makes the choice worth making.

Then the lenders appear

You see the lenders on LitFin and the products they publish, set against the business you have just described: its size, its sector, its records, and what you actually need the money for.

You choose, and we forward

You pick the lender. The finished pack crosses to their officer carrying the preparation that produced it. From there the officer verifies, interviews, visits the business, and decides.

Who is on it

Every lender here was onboarded by our team.

LitFin publishes each lender and the products and services they offer, so a listing is placed there deliberately rather than scraped from somewhere. The marketplace is built for every kind of regulated lender a business here actually approaches, from a bank to a community fund, and each one is onboarded before a borrower ever sees it.

Which lenders you see depends on your business, your region and what you need, so the marketplace you open is not the same as anyone else's. We are not a lender. We do not price credit, we do not verify identity or clear anti-money-laundering checks, and we never approve or decline.

The lender decides, always

If you lend

Your side of the same marketplace.

We do not replace the officer. We delete the part of their job that was never judgement. Chasing documents and checking completeness is administration, not credit skill. We take the administration; they keep, and get more of, the judgement.

Files arrive complete, so the officer's review is faster because the pack is complete and the holes are already surfaced. Your officers also get the appraisal software: a mind beside them on every case. Your products and services go into the marketplace, where borrowers meet them.
