Business Finance Global LLC provides consulting and advisory services to importers and exporters of agricultural and finished products doing business in Africa and engaging in cross-border trading. We help secure short-term trade finance from international providers to mitigate the trade gaps that exist between trading partners from across regions. African traders, in particular, have significantly less access to trade finance compared to their counterparts in other regions.
Our finance products include pre-shipment finance, post-shipment finance, import finance, storage finance, and discounting. While these services may be available in those countries, terms can be unfavorable, financing may be in short supply, and the amounts offered may not meet the borrowers’ needs.
We assist qualified African importers who purchase and import goods and services from countries such as the United States, Turkey, Italy, Germany, and Abu Dhabi. We help them access Buyers Credit finance, which provides financing for capital goods, quasi-goods, non-durable goods, and services purchased from these countries.
We assist those seeking grant providers to fund their projects in areas such as NGOs, Agriculture, Renewable Energy, Environment, Education, Healthcare, Research, Science, Women Empowerment, and more. We also assist small businesses in the United States looking to finance any eligible business-related purposes through our lending partners.
Self-employed businesses and others seeking financing to start or refinance real estate investments—such as fix-and-flip or long-term rentals—but are ineligible for traditional loans, will have the opportunity to use our nationwide hard money lenders’ comparative services and select the lender that best meets their financing needs. This is especially important because most hard money lenders are reluctant to lend to new investors. There are thousands of hard money lenders operating in the United States, offering different types of products with varying requirements, loan amounts, terms, origination fees, and more.
While most do not lend to new investors due to the risks, some still do. If you are a new real estate investor, our comparative analysis service will help you find and choose the right lender.
Database of International Grant Providers
We have created a comprehensive database of international grant providers, including those that currently fund projects globally. By developing this database, we connect grant seekers with providers ready to fund eligible and qualified projects.
You will receive detailed information about each grant and provider, including eligibility requirements, application deadlines, and more. Some grants may have a rolling application process, meaning applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
Making this database available eliminates the stress of searching the internet for grant providers yourself. We charge a nominal fee for this service. Refer to our Methods of Payment section for details.
You can hire professional freelancers to help create your business plan through two top online marketplaces:
Both platforms operate globally and have a strong presence in many African countries.
Services We Provide for Small Businesses in the United States
- Helping qualified small businesses access business loans from traditional lenders
We assist qualified small businesses, including startups looking for loans to start, grow, or purchase a business (including online businesses), or for any business-related purpose, to access financing. The types of loans include SBA 7(a), term loans, lines of credit, working capital, equipment finance, and debt refinancing. We do not charge for this service. Our lending partners pay for every application we submit that gets funded.
- Connecting first-time real estate investors with private and hard money lenders when ineligible for financing from traditional lenders
For first-time investors and self-employed individuals interested in real estate investment but ineligible for traditional financing, we connect them with some hard money and private lenders willing to take risks that most others are not. These lenders can fund first-time real estate investors. Lack of proven experience makes the loan more unpredictable than lending to an investor with experience. Types of loans available include rental property loans, no income verification loans, no-doc mortgage loans, fix-and-flip loans, and bridge loans. We do not charge a fee for this service. Our lending partners pay us for every successful funding we help arrange and refer to them. Providing comparative analysis of hard money lenders for first-time real estate investors
Hard money lenders, both within the borrower’s state and nationwide, are analyzed based on the following criteria: loan amount, rates, terms, points, origination fees, number of loans issued in a specific period, maximum LTV, etc. This information is matched with the borrower’s expectations to help determine which lender is best suited to their needs. We charge a nominal fee for this service. Please refer to our Methods of Payment page for details.
