Fintech - Lending players -Share your expertise

We run a platform that works with SME'S , MSME's (can't disclose more on what kind, but like any transaction have buyers and sellers), have active 3 lakh users.

The amount transacted is above 150+ crore every month.

We realised that these SME'S and the sellers have a lending cycle with the seller every 7-14 days.

Got some queries for lending (Because these businesses run of cash flow), after in-depth research, we just realised the immense potential we have if we start lending to them (both the buyers & sellers - by lending + invoice discounting).

We already have all the data points since these users have been with us for a very long time.

What does the fintech community think, should we add the fintech-lending to our business?

(P.s.: Initial Projections show we start making 12-15 Crore net profit, after launch at 50% utilisation)

KredX is already doing this + plus invoice discounting is not that easy have to build whole infra around that, let's say you get infra from Razorpay then what about compliances?

Plus many of these sellers underwrite their invoices are of lesser amount then the actual amount

The invoices are tracked to the value of order placed by buyer through the platform to the seller, which is verified through established levels. They won't be able to do that here, several checks already in place that tracks that all orders are correct and actual. Same infra can be used for this. Glad that you pointed it out. Appreciate it. Anything else?

Cred is truly a topic of surprise for me. Yes, I understand it has created a community of top spenders/credit worthy people in India. I also understand that they can use the information on such people for creating value for themselves.

It is doomed. If they layoff I hope they fire the UI/UX design first for such an atrocious app design
