Frequently Asked Questions

Section 1: Naivas Invoice Financing Options

Q: What invoice financing options does Avenews offer for Naivas suppliers?

A: Suppliers delivering fresh produce, dry commodities, or agricultural products to Naivas can unlock immediate working capital against their verified, unpaid buyer invoices through two distinct tracks: Agri Supplier Financing (ASF) or Agri Supplier Financing Express (ASFX). Under both options, Avenews advances up to 85% of the verified invoice value directly to the supplier based on their transaction data.

Q: What is the core difference between the two invoice financing tracks Avenews offers for Naivas suppliers? A: Avenews provides two distinct paths based on your business preferences:

1. Full Agri Supplier Financing (ASF): A buyer-linked structure where Naivas is actively involved in the settlement process, making it ideal for larger credit limits.

2. Agri Supplier Financing Express (ASFX): A direct business loan structure where Naivas is completely out of the picture, offering maximum privacy and a faster, independent operational flow for the supplier. Under both options, Avenews advances up to 85% of the verified invoice value directly to the supplier based on their active transaction data.

Section 2: Repayment, Control & Transparency

Q: Who controls the dedicated bank account used for invoice repayment?

A: The supplier maintains 100% visibility and control. The dedicated repayment account is opened directly under the supplier's (the client's) name, ensuring absolute financial transparency. The supplier can monitor all account activities and timelines through the Avenews portal.

Q: What are the credit limits and daily markup rates for Full ASF compared to ASF Express?

A: 1. Full ASF (Buyer-Linked): Designed for large-scale trade, supporting credit limits up to KES 6,000,000 with a highly cost-effective daily markup of 0.17%. The financing period spans 7 to 60 days and is directly anchored to the Naivas invoice due date.

2. ASF Express (Direct Loan): Designed for speed and autonomy, supporting capped credit lines up to KES 1,500,000 with a daily markup of 0.23%. The financing period is flexible, spanning 7 to 45 days based on the timeframe between the funds request and the invoice due date.

Section 3: Qualification & Underwriting Criteria

Q: What are the minimum financial thresholds required to qualify for Naivas supplier financing?

A: To qualify for financing, a business must meet the specific underwriting criteria tailored to each track:

1. Industry Position: Must operate as a registered B2B mid-stream or down-stream agribusiness supplier. Individual smallholder growers do not qualify.

2. Time in Business: The company must demonstrate an active operational trade history of at least 12+ months in Kenya.

3. Minimum Monthly Turnover Required: a. To qualify for the ASF Express track (ASFX), the business must generate a documented minimum monthly turnover of KES 1,000,000 (1 Million KES). b. To qualify for the full Agri Supplier Financing track (ASF), the business must generate a documented minimum monthly turnover of KES 1,500,000 (1.5 Million KES).

4. Documentation: The business must hold formal registration, a valid legal permit (such as a County Permit or sector-specific license), and supply copies of delivery notes alongside the active Naivas invoice.
