This Green Energy Importer Nearly Lost a €750K Contract, SimpelFin Saved the Deal

A Dutch importer of solar panel systems secured a €750K contract with a government-backed housing project. The contract was locked in — but production couldn’t begin unless the supplier in Taiwan received €350K upfront. To complicate matters, their credit facility was maxed out after recent fleet investments.

💥 The bottleneck:

• A signed deal, but no cash to kickstart production
• Risk of defaulting and losing future government tenders
• No appetite for new loans or giving up equity

SimpelFin’s Trade Finance Provided the Bridge They Needed

The company turned to SimpelFin, who financed the supplier invoice in full with flexible repayment after installation. No collateral, no delays.

✅ Results:

• Delivered the contract ahead of schedule
• Impressed the project management firm, leading to three more contracts worth €2M
• Preserved equity and improved supplier trust
• Positioned as a go-to green vendor for public-private infrastructure

By unlocking smart, non-dilutive capital, SimpelFin didn’t just rescue the deal — it became the launchpad for long-term growth.
