IDC puts together the most appropriate financial package for the client, taking into account the IDC guidelines and the client’s requirements by means of, among others:
Capital and interest moratorium: IDC will allow start-up business or expansion of existing businesses a grace period during which capital is not payable, generally one year, but can be up to 5 years e.g. pro-orchards scheme . In certain instances, even interest payments are capitalised for an average period of 18 months
Terms of loans : IDC matches the repayment term of the loan with the cash flow generated by the asset acquired or expense incurred. Average term of loans is between 3 and 7 years, but can be up to 15 years (e.g. pro-orchard scheme) or even 25 years (pro-forestry scheme)
Equity investments: In certain instances, mostly new projects IDC will share the responsibility for a venture by taking up equity in the business to ensure that it is adequately financed.
