Turn a Local Purchase Order into working capital.

TunaKua connects SMEs holding verified LPOs with investors who fund them. Every shilling sits in escrow until delivery is confirmed, and settlement follows one fixed, auditable distribution order.

How a project moves

The lifecycle is enforced in the database, not the browser. Statuses only advance when the required party performs the required action.

  1. Step 1

    Submit the LPO

    A borrower uploads the purchase order and supporting documents. Compliance verifies the business and the issuing corporate buyer.

  2. Step 2

    Investors fund it

    Approved projects are published to the marketplace. Investors contribute from TZS 10,000 upward until the requested amount is covered.

  3. Step 3

    Escrow holds the money

    Funded capital moves into a dedicated escrow account. Supplier payments are released against verified milestones only.

  4. Step 4

    Settlement on payment

    When the corporate buyer pays the invoice, the ledger distributes principal, investor return, platform fee, management fee and finally the borrower's profit.

Verified participants

Businesses are checked against BRELA and TRA records, individuals against NIDA, with manual compliance review as the fallback.

Escrow by default

Investor capital never touches an operating account. Escrow movements are recorded as double-entry ledger lines.

Deterministic settlement

Principal, then investor return, then platform fee, then management fee, then borrower profit. Always in that order.
