 About Our Services

Riverchain is a data-driven fintech company.

We specialise in providing tailored short-term financing and loan solutions for contractors and subcontractors, helping you quickly access the working capital needed for your operations.

Our solutions can also strengthen your relationships with customers and suppliers, and free up your working capital for your next project. Through tailor-made financing solutions, Riverchain is committed to becoming your most reliable partner in driving growth and success on your business journey. 

Riverchain understands the construction industry and provides flexible financing solutions tailored to our customers. Compared to traditional financing options, our services offer the following advantages:

    • Simplified onboarding: Simply submit an approved invoice or payment certification to apply for financing

We offer bespoke financing solutions to meet your unique operational needs, allowing you to focus on project execution without financial concerns. Should you require further information, please feel free to reach out to our team. 

Invoice financing is a short-term financing solution that allows contractors to use payment applications or payment certificates for completed but unpaid work as documentation to apply for advance payments from Riverchain, with up to 90% of the invoice amount available for flexible cash flow management.

Case Study:

Suppose you need HK$1 million in working capital within two weeks. You have a HK$20 million contract with the following status:

    • The value of completed work (work done) is HK$3 million.
    • The latest payment certificate shows HK$2 million has been certified/approved.
    • Payment is expected in 60 days.

After successfully applying for Riverchain’s financing solution, we can advance up to 90% of the certified amount.

    • 90% × HK$2 million = HK$1.8 million in immediate cash

This means you can access HK$1.8 million now, instead of waiting 60 days — more than enough to cover your HK$1 million working capital requirement. We help clients access working capital immediately to maintain a strategic advantage in their business operations: execute project timelines efficiently, secure materials at optimal pricing, meet payroll obligations seamlessly, and capitalise on emerging market opportunities without delay.

Factoring financing involves selling your accounts receivable (invoices) to Riverchain International, allowing you to obtain immediate cash and improve your working capital.

Compared to traditional loans, factoring financing offers several distinct advantages: 1) No collateral is required; 2) Because the transaction is structured as a sale of receivables rather than a loan, it is not listed as a liability on your balance sheet, helping maintain a healthy corporate financial structure; 3) Financing is conducted on a contract or project basis, enabling you to access larger amounts of funding at once to fully support your operational needs; 4) The approval process is significantly faster; 5) The assessment focuses primarily on your customer’s (the payer’s) creditworthiness rather than solely on your company’s financial history, making factoring accessible to a wider range of contractors. 

Not necessarily, but it is a bonus. We will design suitable working capital solutions based on the customer’s actual situation. Please contact us to learn more.
