How supplier matching works

1. Private brief. Your spec goes only to manufacturers we have selected for the right category, capacity and export experience.
2. Confidential outreach. Suppliers see the technical spec — not your name, company or exact location — until you accept a quote.
3. 1–3 comparable quotes. Typically within 5–10 business days, aligned on scope so you can compare like-for-like.
4. Financing intro (optional). If needed, we introduce your project to a financing partner. No fee to buyers.

Notes

Commercial lenders typically require DSCR ≥ 1.3× and equity ≥ 30–40%.
This is an indicative model — production financing needs a full DCF with biological risk, price sensitivity and mortality scenarios.
