Loan Procurement
The right loan — from the right lender, at the right terms — can transform what a business is able to achieve. The wrong loan can constrain it for years. Maramoja Enterprises manages the entire loan procurement process on your behalf — identifying the optimal financing source from our network of domestic, Gulf, European, and international lenders, preparing a compelling application, and negotiating terms that work for your business.
What We Deliver
Identifying the optimal lending source from our network of 20+ relationships — domestic banks, Gulf institutions, European DFIs, multilaterals, and export credit agencies.
Restructuring your financial presentation to meet the specific requirements of each target lender — ensuring your application is compelling to your most likely approvers.
Preparing qualifying businesses for engagement with IFC, BII, Proparco, DEG, FMO, and AfDB — including governance improvements, ESMP commissioning, and impact alignment.
Accessing UAE and broader Gulf bank facilities via our Business Bay office — including Murabaha and Islamic finance structures where relevant.
Negotiating rate, tenure, security, covenant, and repayment structure across all lenders — driving the best overall package rather than accepting the first offer.
Accessing Sharia-compliant financing through Gulf banking relationships — Murabaha, Ijara, and Musharaka structures for clients who require or prefer Islamic finance.
Managing multi-lender syndication for larger transactions — coordinating term sheets, intercreditor arrangements, and simultaneous close across multiple institutions.
Advising on collateral structure and security packaging to maximise lending capacity without unnecessarily over-securing business assets.
Identifying opportunities to refinance existing facilities at better terms — particularly replacing high-rate domestic facilities with lower-cost international alternatives.
How We Work
We assess your business finances, existing facilities, and funding requirement — then map the universe of suitable lenders, ranked by likelihood of approval and quality of terms.
We prepare or restructure your financial information, business plan, and supporting documentation to meet the specific requirements of each target lender — maximising your probability of approval.
We approach lenders on your behalf, managing the process from initial introduction through information requests, credit committee, and term sheet. We typically run parallel processes to create competitive tension.
We negotiate the final terms, conditions, and security package — and manage the legal and documentation process through to financial close.
Our Clients
Growing businesses that have outgrown their domestic banking relationships and need access to higher-value, better-priced international lending.
Project developers seeking long-tenure, low-rate DFI financing for infrastructure, energy, agriculture, or logistics projects in East Africa.
Businesses with significant import programmes seeking ECA-backed financing or Gulf facilities tied to their trade relationships.
Businesses with Gulf investors or trade partners that benefit from our ability to access Gulf bank facilities in tandem with equity relationships.
Property developers and hospitality investors seeking long-tenure project finance from domestic, regional, or international sources.
Our Advantage
Most businesses approach lending by asking their existing bank. We approach lending by mapping the entire global universe of suitable lenders and identifying the one most likely to say yes at the best terms. Our 20+ lender relationships — spanning East African commercial banks, Gulf institutions, European DFIs, and multilateral development banks — give our clients access to a breadth of financing options that a direct approach could never achieve.
