Enterprises can borrow against 80% of their outstanding invoices and financing is available for amounts ranging from $10,000 to $500,000 with monthly interest ranging between 1.6% and 2.5%.<\/p>\n<p>Financing is just one example of the new services available to agribusiness companies in Africa. Leasing has recently become an alternative option, but is still in its infancy in Africa and most entrepreneurs are wary of a financing method that they don\u2019t fully understand. Insta-Pro\u2019s partner VAELL lists <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vaell.com\/leasing-vs-buying\/\">9 reasons<\/a> to consider leasing as a better alternative to using own funds or conventional bank loans. Lease-to-buy contracts are 24 or 36 months, annual interest ranges from 12-13%, down-payment is 25% and importantly, no collateral is required. Ownership of the leased equipment is transferred to the lessee at the end of the lease period.<\/p>\n<p>With Africa\u2019s stunning demographics staring them in the face \u2013 one out of two people born in the world between now and 2050 will be born in Africa \u2013 major companies are desperate to get a foothold in the African market. Investors have been taking advantage of this opportunity through private equity (PE) funds and developing partnerships with private companies or individuals looking to invest in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Private equity (PE) funds <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1SKoEO3\">invested<\/a> $8.1bn in Africa last year. Several PE funds are focused on agriculture and agribusiness, with significant investments in poultry farms, fish farms and processing industries, making this an ideal option for people in the agriculture industry. An attractive option for private investors is to partner with \u2013 or purchase \u2013 a local company that is established in the market and knows how things work. Like private equity funds, these partners inject cash and knowledge, enabling African companies to upgrade equipment and skills.<\/p>\n<p>Insta-Pro can assist customers, anywhere in the world, to find resources to help finance equipment.
