For funders
Better deal flow, less guesswork.
Atupa gives financiers a screened, scored and verifiable pipeline of African SMEs. See readiness bands, sector analytics and, with consent, full business files.
Scored pipeline
Filter SMEs by FRICS score, readiness band, sector, country and funding need. Every file shows a weighted 0–100 score across seven pillars.
Verifiable identity
SMEs can link CAC/TIN/RC numbers, incorporation year and business address. Admins review tax, audit and certification evidence before approval.
Consent-controlled access
Business names and contact details are masked by default. SMEs grant access to individual funders before full identity and documents are revealed.
Privacy by design
No bulk downloads or anonymous scraping. Every full-file view is tied to a named funder account and an explicit SME grant.
Role-based accounts
Funder accounts are provisioned by administrators. Role checks run server-side on every request, not in the browser.
FRICS+ dynamic score
Beyond the base readiness score, FRICS+ adjusts for repayment behaviour, defaults, restructurings and verified evidence.
How funder access works
When an SME applies to your fund or shares a FRICS ID, request access through the platform. The SME approves or rejects each funder individually.
- 01
Sign in with a funder account provisioned by Atupa admin.
- 02
Browse the masked pipeline and filter by band, sector and score.
- 03
Request access to a file; the SME receives the grant request.
- 04
Once approved, view full identity, obligations and verified evidence.
Request a funder account
If your firm is already working with GLI CONSULTS, ask your relationship manager to enable the funder role on your account.
