Our client, one of the leading healthcare construction companies with presence in Asia and Africa providing turnkey services for Healthcare projects had a requirement to procure medical equipment and consumables for executing EPC works for the various clients being serviced by them.

Blend’s Export & Structured Finance Team structured a $20 Million facility by involving a European Aggregator and Bank with a credit enhancement from a European Institution. This allowed us to be able to structure a committed, unsecured facility extending a 360 days credit terms to our Client, enabling them to procure from multiple suppliers across Europe and Asia. The facility was also unique due to its off-balance sheet nature.

Blend was instrumental in setting up this facility in a short span of time, facilitating the procurement of healthcare equipment and consumables, which is of critical importance as the Covid-19 pandemic rages across the Globe.

Vaibhavi Thakkar, CEO, Blend Financial Services, said, “We are excited to have played a pivotal role in this transaction especially as this was the first time ever such a structure was approved and executed in this space. With this proof of concept having been established our teams are geared up and are executing over $ 500 Million worth of transactions with this mechanism.”
