How ColdMatch helps
  • Organize the sponsor's technical requirement and scope into one reviewed project brief
  • Contact suitable equipment suppliers and EPC contractors on the sponsor's behalf and present organized responses; the number of responses is not guaranteed
  • Environmental and social (E&S) and integrity due diligence stays with the sponsor and IFC; ColdMatch does not screen or certify suppliers
  • With the sponsor's consent, a qualified project may be introduced to independent financing partners; ColdMatch does not lend or give financial advice
Preparing a International Finance Corporation (IFC)-funded cold-chain package?

Send us the scope, capacity and country. Our team reviews the requirement first; where the project qualifies (from USD 250,000), we contact suitable suppliers on your behalf and present organized responses. We do not bid in, or advise on, the institution's own tenders. No cost to the buyer.

How financing fits into a International Finance Corporation (IFC)-linked cold-chain project

ColdMatch Group is an industrial cold-chain procurement platform. We are not a lender, we do not provide financial advice, and we are not affiliated with or acting for International Finance Corporation (IFC). What we do is help buyers organize the technical requirement — capacity, temperature regime, equipment lots, standards and BOQ — so our team can contact suitable suppliers and EPC contractors on the buyer's behalf. Projects are reviewed by our team before any supplier is contacted; with the buyer's consent, a qualified project may also be introduced to independent financing partners.

Repayment calculator

International Finance Corporation (IFC)-linked project: loan terms, interest and repayments

Enter your own assumptions to see what a capital structure costs over the life of the facility. Development finance and concessional facilities usually carry longer tenors, a construction grace period and lower margins than commercial bank debt; equipment leasing sits at the shorter, more expensive end. Use it to test whether the project's expected earnings can carry the debt service before you approach any institution.

How to read this. The result is arithmetic on the numbers you entered, using a constant-instalment (annuity) repayment and interest-only during grace. Real facilities differ: margins are priced against a reference rate, some instalments are equal-principal rather than equal-payment, fees and insurance vary, and Shariah-compliant structures such as Murabaha or Ijara reach a comparable outcome through a different legal mechanism. ColdMatch Group is not a lender, a bank or a financial adviser. Nothing here is an offer, a quotation, a credit assessment or financial advice, no rate or approval is implied, and eligibility and pricing are decided solely by the institution you approach.
