How does it actually work?

1) A Small Medium Enterprise (SME) creates a profile and Uploads their invoices with a large multinational company (MNC) to the platform.
2) The MNC verifies the invoice and if in agreement with the terms, accepts the debt by using their private key.
3) We create a digital asset (smart-contract) out of that invoice – this debt security can now be traded.
4) Institutional investors make an offer to buy this debt security at a discount
5) The Investor who bids the lowest discount acquires the debt security token by paying the SME in a Fiat currency.
6) The Investor now owns the security. He can also trade it on a secondary market.
7) On the due date, the MNC pays the investor or the current holder of the debt security back in fiat currency
