Advance 75–90% against certified IPCs in 24–72 hours.

The subcontractor uploads the master subcontract, the GC counterparty data and the certified Interim Payment Certificate. Our Alternative Data Engine scores the GC and the project. We wire 75–90% of the certified value to the sub's bank account within 24–72 hours.

The GC pays the original contractual amount on the original due date — directly into BuildFi's Controlled Collection Account at the SPV. We retain principal plus fees. The residual flows to the sub at settlement.

This is not balance-sheet factoring. It is project- and GC-level underwriting on certified claims, structured as a Sharia-compatible Tawarruq cash facility paired with a Hawala assignment of the GC payment right.

Why this works

When the claim is certified, the GC is the underwrite.

Advantage 01

Certification is a third-party signal.

An IPC signed by the project quantity surveyor and the main contractor is a pre-verified claim against the developer's funded escrow — the strongest contractual signal in MENA construction.

Advantage 02

Escrow-direct collection.

The GC's acknowledged payment undertaking routes the IPC payment to BuildFi's Controlled Collection Account, not the sub's operating account. Funds clear into the SPV before they hit the sub.

Advantage 03

Sharia-compatible by construction.

Tawarruq cash facility plus Hawala assignment of the GC payment right delivers factoring economics within an AAOIFI-aligned perimeter — without selling debt at a discount.

Economics · indicative

Per-deal economics on a 90-day advance.

$200K advance against a $250K certified IPC (80% advance ratio) over a 90-day GC payment term.

Discount fee at origination: 3.0% × $200K = $6,000. Holding fee: 2.0% per 30 days × 3 months = $12,000. Gross fees retained: $18,000 (≈9% on advance, ≈36% effective APR equivalent).

Cost of capital at ≈15% APY: $7,400. Expected credit loss at 1.5% of advance: $3,000. Servicing & opex: $1,500. Net contribution per deal: ≈$6,100. Capital recycles ≈4× per year.

Gross fee yield on advance≈ 9.0%
Effective APR equivalent≈ 30–36%
