    Finance a trade

    Turn a verified trade into finance offers from licensed partners, tracked to settlement.

    T57 solves the working capital squeeze in food trade, by sending one verified deal file to several licensed lenders and repaying them from the trade itself.

    The problem

    Good orders turned down for lack of cash

    Food businesses pay out long before they get paid. A processor buys raw materials months before its products are sold. An exporter pays for packing and freight before the buyer pays. A supplier to a supermarket chain may wait 60 to 90 days for payment. Banks rejected 41% of SME trade finance applications in 2025 (ADB, January 2026), so many of these businesses either turn down orders or borrow at high informal rates. The key challenges T57 addresses include:

    Long cash cycles

    Money is tied up between paying suppliers and being paid by buyers.

    Repeated applications

    Each bank wants its own forms and documents.

    Weak evidence

    Lenders cannot verify trades, so they ask for collateral SMEs do not have.

    Use case · Illustrative example

    Abu Dhabi supplier gets paid early by a supermarket chain

    A frozen food supplier in Abu Dhabi sells to a verified UAE supermarket chain on 90-day terms. The chain's invoices are confirmed on T57, and the supplier requests receivables finance from several licensed lenders. A lender advances most of the invoice value within days. When the chain pays on day 90, the payment goes into escrow, repays the lender and releases the balance to the supplier, who uses the cash to take on a new hotel group contract.

    Why T57

    We believe that being paid late should never stop a good food business from growing.

    T57 does not lend

    Finance comes from licensed lenders, who make their own credit decisions. T57 provides the verified deal file and the workflow.

    AI advises, people decide

    AI prepares and checks deal files. Lenders decide, and any adverse decision by T57 about a member is reviewed by a person.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    How quickly can I receive offers?

    That depends on each lender's process. Because the deal file is already verified, lenders can respond faster than to a standard application.

    Do I need collateral?

    Many structures rely on the trade itself, through confirmed orders, invoices and escrow repayment, rather than on property or other collateral. Each lender sets its own requirements.

    Can large buyers offer finance to their suppliers?

    Yes. Through payables finance, an anchor buyer can let its verified suppliers be paid early by partner lenders.
