About

WHO WE ARE

Welcome to Axendo

Founded in 2014, Axendo began as a specialist trade finance company with a vision to bridge global supply chains through simple, effective financial solutions. Over the past decade, we have expanded into a multi‑disciplinary group spanning trade finance, procurement, EPC+F contracting and energy supply.

We focus on building long‑term strategic partnerships and delivering tailor‑made solutions in complex markets. With active operations across three continents, Axendo brings together world‑class sourcing capabilities, strong financial expertise, and a proven track record in emerging markets.

OUR VISION

To empower our partners to transform ambition into action and define their own future.

OUR MISSION

To supply critical goods and provide capital-efficient trade and infrastructure credit, enabling our partners to execute projects and drive development at speed.

OUR COMMITMENT TO AFRICA’S TRADE & INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

CLOSING AFRICA’S TRADE FINANCE & INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING GAP

Africa faces a persistent trade finance and infrastructure funding gap that directly impacts economic growth, supply chain resilience and development outcomes.

Axendo addresses this gap by:

  • Providing extended credit for imports to reduce pressure on local balance sheets
  • Financing critical equipment and infrastructure through trade‑linked project structures
  • Accelerating funding timelines to ensure projects move from concept to execution
  • Aligning international capital with local market requirements

By combining trade finance, procurement, and project execution under one platform, Axendo delivers deployable capital – transforming funding commitments into tangible economic development.

OUR PARTICIPATION IN ITFA’S TF COP INITIATIVE

Axendo is an active participant in the International Trade and Forfaiting Association’s Trade Finance Conference of Parties (TF COP) initiative. Our involvement reflects a firm commitment to strengthening global trade finance markets – particularly in regions where access to liquidity remains constrained.

Beyond participation, Axendo is taking decisive commercial action by:

  • Structuring and deploying trade finance solutions into under-served African markets
  • Working with banks, insurers and institutional partners to distribute risk efficiently
  • Supporting the development of scalable trade finance transactions

Our objective is not theoretical advocacy, but practical execution that increases the availability of trade finance where it is most needed.

We believe ethical conduct, risk awareness and legal and regulatory compliance are the obligation of every member of our team and those with whom we work. It is central to our performance objectives and measured on an ongoing basis. We maintain a rigorous approach to KYC and Due Diligence for all parties.
