European expansion
In the infrastructure space, AGA has identified Europe and Asia as key target markets for the sale of its products.
AGA has engaged a Dutch plastics company in a trial capacity to distribute one of its patented products, a freeway noise wall panel.
If successful, this trial could lead to a much larger contract or agent arrangement, allowing AGA to export its products at scale into Europe.
In order to fulfil the contract, AGA required finance to fund the supply and design costs.
While AGA’s bank was supportive of its expansion overseas, its bank was unable to provide financial support for the contract.
How we helped
We provided a $150,000 Export Contract Loan to support the funding requirements relating to the contract.
The finance will be used to fund payments to suppliers and design costs, so that AGA can fulfil its European export contract and grow its overseas operation.
