Financing Estimate — бесплатный нейтральный калькулятор для профессионального планирования аквакультурных проектов. Blended cost of equipment lease + working capital + ECA. Используйте его для расчёта оборудования, проверки предложений поставщиков и подготовки надёжной технической спецификации. Все вычисления выполняются в браузере — без регистрации.
Bankability comes before capital. For Financing Estimate, lenders and development banks expect a costed CAPEX and OPEX model, an engineered scope, offtake evidence and permitting status. FishMatch Group prepares that package with you, then introduces it to equipment finance providers, leasing desks, export-credit agencies and blue-economy programmes matched to your country and project size.
Instruments:
Equipment leasing, project debt, export credit and blue-economy programmes
Typical ticket:
USD 250k – 50m depending on system type and country
We prepare the package and introduce matched financing partners

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.
