Boosting MSME Liquidity: TReDS & CashFlo Advantage

Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS) is an RBI-regulated digital platform designed to help Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) improve their liquidity by discounting their invoices and receiving early payments. The platform operates by allowing corporate buyers to approve invoices, which financiers then bid on, ensuring MSMEs get timely payments at competitive rates. This system eliminates the need for collateral and accelerates cash flow, making it a preferred financing option for MSMEs. 

Comparison with Traditional Banking Channels

TReDS provides a streamlined and efficient alternative to traditional banking channels, offering instant invoice discounting and competitive bidding by multiple financiers. Here’s how it compares: 

• TReDS: Offers instant invoice discounting with competitive bidding by multiple financiers, ensuring low-cost funding for MSMEs.
• Traditional Banking: Requires collateral and lengthy approval processes, often leading to delayed access to funds for MSMEs.

Key Benefits for MSMEs and Large Enterprises

• For MSMEs: Faster access to working capital, reduced dependency on high-cost credit, and improved cash flow, enabling them to focus on growth.
• For Enterprises: Extended credit periods without financial strain, improved supplier relationships, and compliance with MSME payment regulations.

How TReDS Enhances Liquidity for MSMEs & Enterprises

Instant Invoice Discounting for MSMEs

With TReDS, MSMEs can upload their invoices and receive payments within 24 hours. This process eliminates credit bottlenecks, allowing businesses to maintain a steady cash flow without relying on expensive loans.

Extended Credit Periods for Buyers at 0% Cost

Corporate buyers can extend their payment cycles by 25-45 days without incurring any additional costs. Unlike traditional bank loans, which come with high interest rates, TReDS ensures enterprises can manage their working capital efficiently.

Strengthening Supplier-Buyer Relationships

Prompt payments through TReDS enhance trust and reliability between suppliers and buyers. By ensuring that suppliers receive timely payments, enterprises can reduce supply chain disruptions and maintain consistent product or service delivery.

Compliance with MSME Payment Mandates

The MSME Development Act mandates that enterprises must clear payments to MSMEs within 45 days. TReDS facilitates compliance with this regulation, preventing penalties and ensuring smooth business operations without reputational risks.
