· As an authorized lender for CARGOES Finance by DP World, Marco's tech-enabled trade finance platform completed funding for its first two clients.
MIAMI- Marco Financial announced factoring facilities for its first two clients from the United Arab Emirates: Next Electronics FZE, a consumer goods seller, and Perfumagic Perfumes, a cosmetic products seller.
The deals provide working capital that will allow the companies to expand their operations and reach. They come as a result of a partnership between Marco and CARGOES Finance By DP World, a platform that enables rapid and seamless access to working capital for emerging-market SMEs.
The two companies needed factoring to continue their growth as they distribute their products throughout the United Kingdom and Dubai. As an approved lender for CARGOES Finance by DP World, Marco provided the capital that the two companies required to finance their expansion and grow their product portfolios.
"Our partnership with DP World has had a great start and these two signings are perfect fits. We hope this relationship continues to grow, and we can keep supporting more SMEs in need of the working capital they typically cannot access", said Jacob Shoihet, CEO & Co-founder of Marco.
"This is a very positive start for our partnership with Marco. Next Electronics and Perfumagic are just the first of many SMEs we will help, continuing with our journey to bridge the global trade finance gap," said Sinan Ozcan, Senior Executive Officer, DP World Financial Services Limited.
"With a strong presence in the US and Latin America, Marco enhances our coverage to geographies with a considerable, but underserved SME base. Access to credit has been a key challenge that remains unsolved," Ozcan added.
"We were looking for alternative and faster sources of financing. We found Marco through their partnership with CARGOES Finance and are very satisfied with their service so far, especially with how they could provide a suitable solution for a fast-growing company like us.", said Rick Bhojwani, owner of Perfumagic.
Perfumagic is already extending the factoring facility by 60% just a few weeks after the initial funding was agreed. The additional capital will allow the company to take its expansion even further.
"We were impressed with the Marco team's experience and understanding of our business. Their attentiveness and cooperation concerning legal issues and documents were key to a successful transaction. We are excited about this relationship that will allow us to keep growing our product portfolio," added Mohammad Shoaib, owner of Next Electronics.
