ClimaFI

Finance that adapts to productive use.

ClimaFI connects capital to productive-use assets with flexible repayments informed by monitored asset utilisation—helping improve affordability for users and repayment reliability for financiers.

Why fixed repayments fail

Productive activity does not always follow a fixed schedule.

When asset use and income fluctuate, a fixed repayment can be poorly matched to productive capacity. That can place pressure on users during low-use periods and create unnecessary financing uncertainty.

  • Unaffordable repayments during low-use periods
  • Reduced visibility into real-world performance
  • Less confidence to finance productive equipment

How it works

Monitored utilisation informs repayment amounts.

ClimaFI monitors agreed signals from a productive asset and uses them to inform flexible repayments within agreed commercial terms. It is not a simple revenue share: the mechanism remains bounded by the financing agreement.

  1. Capital makes finance available for productive assets.
  2. Productive assets support income-generating activity.
  3. Agreed signals show productive use.
  4. Repayments respond within agreed commercial terms.
  5. Performance visibility supports financing confidence.
  6. More assets can be deployed into local economies.

Repayment logic

A repayment mechanism designed around productive capacity.

The repayment amount is informed by monitored utilisation or productive output—not reduced arbitrarily. Commercial terms define the applicable signals and boundaries.

Illustrative repayment curve

Lower productive use can result in lower repayments; higher productive use can support higher repayments, within agreed floor and cap terms.

How this connects to ClimaFI’s wider platform

Operational data can support more than financing decisions.

Where an applicable methodology, evidence rules and attribution requirements are defined, operational data may also support ClimaFI’s separate Impact Funding capability. Financing itself does not automatically create a verified impact outcome.
