Who is our customer

NeoGrowth Credit Pvt. Ltd, an early stage Fintech SME merchant cash advance lender in India.

What is our funding objective?

NeoGrowth will use the funding from FMO to on-lend to small and medium-sized retail merchants.

Why do we fund this investment?

The loan to NeoGrowth achieves FMO's goals of providing access to finance. Traditional bank underwriting excludes a large portion of creditworthy SMEs merchants because they do not have reliable financial statements, a credit history ("thin file" customers) or equipment or similar assets that can be provided as security for a bank loan. NeoGrowth assesses creditworthiness based on the cash-flows through the POS terminals of merchants and loan collection happens electronically on a daily basis depending on the level of sales by the merchant, addressing seasonality in the business of merchants.

What is the Environmental and Social categorization rationale?

NeoGrowth follows good consumer protection practices and as a lender to small and medium merchants, does not pose a high environmental risk.
