FAQs On Defimable
1.What is Defimable?
Defimable means “Decentralized Financing Made Able” and we have chosen this name to tell both existing and new users that we are ever committed to connecting businesses in dire need of financing with the untapped and unlocked liquidity in the DeFi ecosystem.
2. What does Defimable do?
Defimable is an open marketplace that leverages the power of blockchain to help businesses obtain working capital by discounting their trade invoices to investors. These investors are willing to advance funds, and earn stable yields.
3. Are you a cryptocurrency exchange?
No, we are not a cryptocurrency exchange. We are a business that provides alternative financing option for businesses across Africa by helping them access the liquidity (money) available in the DeFi ecosystem.
4. Are you a crypto coin?

5. Are you an agricultural company?
Our earliest beginning had its root in Agriculture hence our former name,” FarmBit” but we are not an agricultural company. We however provide funding for businesses in the agricultural sector.
6. Are you a loan app?
No!
We are not a loan app. What we do is called “business factoring.” Factoring helps small businesses get working capital by selling accounts receivable, or invoices, to a commercial financial company known as a “factor.” The goal is for your business to receive cash more quickly than waiting for customer payments.
7. How is business factoring different from a loan?
Factoring is not a business loan — it’s the sale of an asset (the invoice). Here, the factor buys the right to collect on an invoice when it’s paid, minus a percentage discount. The factor (Defimable) will pay around 75% of the invoice up front.
8. How does factoring on Defimable work?
Defimable counts on your customers paying their invoices, hence we are more concerned with your customers’ financial status. As a business, you will have to validate your customers’ payment history. If your business has creditworthy customers ( worthy of receiving credit), we give your business working capital up front and wait for the initial payment you cannot wait for.
9. How do you check creditworthiness?
We use several metrics including invoice history, your business revenue, etc. of both parties. If your customers have a history of late or missed payments, or if your business has weak revenue, you may not be approved for the financing. We expect to get paid back, just like other types of lenders.
10. Why blockchain?
Blockchain technology allows us operate a transparent, decentralized and reliable business. It is also how we can pool together liquidity providers to advance up to 75% of the liquidity your business needs. With the blockchain as our technology, you do not have to worry about data theft, invoice breach or loss of trust or assets. It also holds us accountable as everyone can see everything!
