The Cashflow Challenge of Parallel Tenders
SMEs often need bank guarantees to back tenders. Paper guarantees lock capital for weeks, limiting the number of projects they can pursue. The real constraint? Not capability—cashflow.
Why 2025 Matters
- Infrastructure & renewable energy spending is increasing.
- More projects are hitting the market quickly.
- Larger firms can absorb cash lockups; SMEs cannot.

Example Scenario
Construction SME has three tenders this quarter, each requiring a $250,000 guarantee. With paper guarantees, only one or two bids are viable. With digital guarantees, obligations settle faster and funds are released promptly—enabling the SME to pursue all three opportunities.
