By Winston Osuchukwu Consider two small businesses applying for a ₦5 million term loan; both generate similar revenue and have been operating for a similar length of time. While Business A depends heavily on extended supplier credit to fund its working-capital cycle,  Business B turns inventory quickly and maintains consistent cash flows. On a conventional credit scorecard, both businesses may qualify for the same SME loan. They may also receive the same interest rate, but this rate standardisation inadvertently punishes the more sustainable borrower. The issue is not that lenders cannot identify risk. It is that traditional lending architecture groups…

When we meet on August 25 in the lobby of Go Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital and largest city, he appears quiet, almost understated.
