MSMEs will receive their dues from the banks or financiers without waiting for the credit period agreed with large corporate. The shortening of payment cycle and the smooth flow of liquidity through the platform will ensure that MSMEs do not lose out on business opportunities due to shortage of funds. The cost of funds will be reduced for MSME’s as banks will be bidding basis the risk rating of a corporate.
