Caspian Debt has been a pioneer debt provider to transformational Small and Medium Enterprises/small and growing businesses to impact enterprises. These are professionally managed companies set up typically by first generation entrepreneurs often with the intention of raising external venture capital to grow fast but for whom access to debt is limited. The credit needs of such enterprises are in the range of $0.5 to 2m but they lack the mortgage collateral that is required for them to access traditional bank funding.

Solving for this credit gap has been our focus.
