Maalexi.com is a zero-commission B2B digital ecosystem that facilitates small businesses' access to financing for their cross-border trade in food and agriculture products. The problem Maalexi is trying to solve is the difficulty of small businesses to access trade finance, which is a major reason that restricts these small businesses from participating directly (without intermediation) in mainstream cross-border trading, limiting their ability to realize better income. Maalexi goal is to democratize international trading and financing - making it faster, cheaper, and safer, by providing a one-stop-shop to their users for deal origination (connecting credible buyers and sellers - who have been verified), deal execution (mitigating transaction risks) and deal financing from world-renowned financial institutions and fin-techs.
Maalexi.com currently serves exporters in India and importers in the UAE. They plan to expand their proposition to importers in the US, Europe, and Africa from 2023 and beyond. Their target market is US$ 2 Trillion of cross-border trade in Food and Agriculture, which requires financing so that small businesses can participate in this trade. To simplify the process and address the risk in a trade, they have streamlined and integrated flows on their platform through partnerships with world-renowned companies.
