TunaKua

Escrow-backed LPO financing

About Us

A financing rail for the contracts Tanzanian businesses already hold.

TunaKua exists because winning a Local Purchase Order is not the same as being able to deliver it. We bridge that gap with investor capital, escrow control and automated settlement.

Who we are

Contract financing, run like infrastructure

TunaKua is a Tanzanian platform that connects small and medium businesses holding verified Local Purchase Orders with investors willing to fund their delivery. The borrower keeps the customer relationship; the investor gets a defined return; the corporate buyer gets a supplier who can actually perform.

Everything that touches money is enforced in the database rather than the browser. Statuses only advance when the right party performs the right action, escrow movements are recorded as double-entry ledger lines, and settlement runs through a single deterministic function.

The platform is operated entirely on infrastructure the business owns, with a full audit trail and live system-health monitoring available to administrators.

Purpose

Unlock the working capital trapped in confirmed purchase orders so Tanzanian SMEs can deliver contracts they already won.

Shield with a checkmark protecting funds

Protection first

Every participant is verified before a shilling moves, and investor capital is held in managed escrow rather than an operating account.

Balanced scale weighing equal stacks of coins

Predictable economics

One fixed distribution order: principal, investor return, platform fee, management fee, then borrower profit. No discretion, no surprises.

City office buildings with a location pin

Tanzanian by design

Built around BRELA, TRA and NIDA checks, TZS settlement and local corporate buyers, with offices across the country.

Our commitment

What every party can rely on

Borrowers

Financing tied to a real order, with supplier payments made directly so goods actually reach the buyer.

Investors

Verified projects only, capital held in escrow, and a 10% target return paid ahead of any platform fee.

Corporate buyers

Suppliers who can deliver on schedule, with confirmation and invoice payment handled inside one workspace.
