Empowering Small Businesses with Inclusive Financing | Currently raising an Active Seed Round

About us

Trade Lenda is a fintech platform revolutionizing access to finance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in emerging markets. Our mission is to bridge the financing gap that hinders millions of businesses from scaling due to systemic exclusions based on gender, background, religion, or socioeconomic status. The Problem SMEs contribute significantly to economic growth, yet many are underserved by traditional financial institutions. They face challenges like: Lengthy and complex loan application processes. Limited or no credit history to assess eligibility. Prejudice stemming from socioeconomic factors. This exclusion limits growth, jobs, and innovation in these economies. Trade Lenda has demonstrated strong market traction, highlighting the critical need for inclusive SME financing. Since launch, we’ve achieved consistent month-on-month revenue growth, with total loan disbursements exceeding $6 million and repayment rates above 98%. We have partnered with leading banks, non-bank financial institutions, and tech providers, enabling us to expand credit offerings and enhance our AI-driven credit scoring model. Through collaborations with SME-focused networks, we have amplified our reach across underserved markets. Our platform has supported over 260,000 SMEs across diverse industries, with women-owned businesses making up 65% of our customer base. With a repeat customer rate of 95%, Trade Lenda continues to foster trust and satisfaction among users. To date, we have driven economic growth by helping SMEs create over 10,000 new jobs, empowering underrepresented groups, and building resilient communities. Trade Lenda is transforming financial access and fueling prosperity in emerging markets.
