We ask for:

  • General Information about your business, such as physical address, monthly turnover and VAT number. See registration form available on our website.

  • Either a read-only connection to your business’ bank account or your 6-12 most recent months of bank statements

The information you provide is stored in accordance with our strict Privacy Policy and encrypted to make sure that it is always safe and secure.

How is qualification for a HCH Finance account determined?

Qualification for HCH Finance is determined based on a number of factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, your business cash flow, the strength of your customers, and to a lesser extent your personal and business credit history. You do not have to have perfect credit to work with us. We work with a broad range of clients, including those with below average credit.

How quickly does HCH Finance make funding decisions?

After the registration process, we typically respond to your application within 24 hours.

How much funding will I have access to?

HCH Finance offers up to 90% cash payment for each invoice value ranging between Ugx5, 000,000 and Ugx50, 000,000. Your credit line is the total amount of funding that you can have outstanding at any given time, and will replenish as your customers pay outstanding invoices (for invoice factoring).

Are there termination fees if I want to leave?

No. As long as you have no balances outstanding, you can stop using HCH Finance at any time with no penalties or fees.

Does HCH Finance provide unsecured financing?

HCH Finance financing is not unsecured. However, we do not require any specific amount, type or value of collateral and no appraisal or specific assets are required. Financing is secured by a general lien on the assets of the business and backed by a personal guarantee. We do not take personal assets as collateral.
