Financing follows the project, not the other way round. Lenders assess a defined project with comparable supplier quotes, so the steps below run in this order.
1
Define the project scope
Capacity, bird type, site, utilities and required services, checked with the HatchMatch calculators.
2
Issue a structured RFQ
One comparable specification sent to independent suppliers or turnkey/EPC partners.
3
Compare proposals
Quotes are aligned line by line: scope, exclusions, freight, installation, warranty and payment terms.
4
Prepare the readiness pack
Selected proposal, budget, business plan, company documents, land status and your own equity contribution.
5
Introduction to an independent financing provider
Only projects that meet the threshold and readiness criteria are introduced. HatchMatch does not lend or underwrite.
6
Provider due diligence
The provider reviews the project, sponsor and collateral and may request more information or site visits.
7
Indicative term sheet
If the provider proceeds, it issues its own terms: amount, tenor, rate, collateral and conditions. These are set only by the provider.
8
Supplier contract negotiation
The buyer negotiates the final supply or EPC contract with the chosen supplier, ideally with independent legal counsel.
9
Signing
The buyer signs the financing agreement with the provider and the contract with the supplier. HatchMatch is not a party to either.
10
Conditions and disbursement
Disbursement follows the provider's conditions, often linked to down payment, shipment or installation milestones.
Financing is not guaranteed. Approval, terms and collateral are decided solely by the independent financing provider.
