Lenderwize provides working capital to telecom wholesalers. It asserts that large telecom operators pay on sixty days whilst suppliers are paid on seven days; hence the middleman suffers an average -53 day Cash Flow Gap (CGP). Lenderwize also argues that banks do not understand the telecom industry because a phone call is not a tangible asset such as real estate; hence they provide little help. Lenderwize solves this problem. It has developed a financial technology platform that certifies 'Proof of Service' that includes real phone calls, real invoices and the quality of delivered services. Its typical clients are mid-sized operators having annual revenue of 50-300 million USD. Lenderwize sells to large Tier 1 Operators (Originators) and buys from smaller (Terminating) Operators. It has identified 1350 wholesalers in need of $96 million. Lenderwize intends to exit within four years and sell its business to potential buyers such as large telecom operators, alternative finance funders, and banks seeking innovation.
