FishMatch Group is an independent aquaculture sourcing/procurement platform. Our role is procurement project preparation and, only after separate explicit consent for a disclosed recipient and destination, a possible introduction to an independent financing provider. We do not make credit decisions or approve, underwrite or guarantee financing. Readiness checklists and calculator outputs are not pre-approval, offers, bank terms or recommendations. Availability is subject to provider confirmation and local law. Instrument examples are not partnerships, endorsements or available offers. Local counsel must review referral, packaging and compensation arrangements; this notice does not establish a regulatory exemption. See Terms of Service for full details.
Project-readiness checklist
Mark only documents you actually have. This checks documentation, not creditworthiness, eligibility, approval probability or provider availability. No score or lending recommendation is produced.

FishMatch Group reviews your file once suppliers respond and asks any clarifying questions.
Any possible introduction requires provider confirmation, local legal review, recipient/destination disclosure and fresh explicit consent before sharing.
No match, offer or approval is promised. Any confirmed provider makes its own credit decision and sets any terms.
Frequently asked questions
- Is FishMatch Group a lender?
- No. FishMatch Group is a sourcing and introduction platform. We prepare procurement projects; an optional introduction requires separate recipient-specific consent and local review. Any approval, terms and contracts are determined solely by the financing provider — financing is not guaranteed.
- How does the pre-qualifier work?
- Tick the documents you have. The tool lists checked and missing items without ranking you. It is not eligibility, a credit decision, pre-approval, an offer, underwriting or a recommendation.
- Is a financing amount available through this checklist?
- No amount or provider offer is confirmed. The USD 250,000 infrastructure procurement threshold is not a loan minimum. Availability is subject to provider confirmation and local law; no amounts or timing are promised.
- Which countries do you cover?
- No country/provider lending coverage has been cleared by this checklist. Availability is subject to provider confirmation and local law.
- Is my information kept confidential?
- Submission is stored privately for FishMatch preparation. Introduction interest is optional and authorizes no sharing. A named recipient, destination countries, data, purpose and retention must be disclosed and separately consented before any transfer.
Short answer
What financing preparation is possible for Pre Qualifier?
For Pre Qualifier, FishMatch supports private procurement project preparation: scope, documented CAPEX/OPEX assumptions, permits and buyer-provided market evidence. This is a document checklist, not credit eligibility, pre-approval, an offer, underwriting or a recommendation. No provider or country coverage is verified. Availability is subject to provider confirmation and local law. A possible introduction needs local legal review and separate recipient-specific recorded explicit consent before any sharing; no automatic forwarding is enabled.

- Procurement scope:
- USD 250,000+ infrastructure projects; not a loan minimum or offer

How does FishMatch Group source suppliers for this requirement?
You submit one structured request. We translate it into a technical RFQ, run it against qualified manufacturers and integrators in the relevant categories, and return normalised quotations you can compare side by side on scope, lead time and total cost of ownership.
Do buyers see supplier names during the sourcing process?
No. Supplier identities stay confidential during discovery and evaluation. You receive anonymised, comparable technical and commercial packages, and introductions happen only after both sides are qualified and agree to proceed.

Costs & budgeting
How much does a commercial fish farm cost to build?
Budget ranges depend on system type, not on country alone. Pond and cage projects are usually the lowest capital per tonne of annual output, while recirculating (RAS) projects carry the highest equipment and energy share because filtration, oxygenation and backup power are mandatory. Reliable numbers come from a sized bill of quantities — species, target tonnage, water source and grow-out temperature — not from a generic price list. Use the FishMatch calculators to size the project, then submit an RFQ so quotes are priced against the same specification.
What drives the price differences between aquaculture equipment quotes?
Most spread between quotes comes from scope, not from margin: included spares, installation and commissioning, control and automation level, materials (HDPE vs steel vs FRP), certification and testing, delivery terms (EXW vs CIF) and warranty length. Two quotes are only comparable when they answer the same specification. A structured RFQ fixes the scope so differences reflect real engineering choices.
What operating costs should a business plan include?
Feed is normally the largest recurring cost, followed by energy (highest in RAS), labour, fingerlings or post-larvae, health management, water treatment consumables and maintenance. Financing cost and working capital for the first production cycle are frequently underestimated. FishMatch cost tools separate CAPEX from OPEX so the payback assumption is visible rather than implied.
