What is a Value Chain? The full range of activities required to bring a product or service from conception through the various stages of production and delivery to final consumer. A value chain includes all actors including producers, processors, suppliers, wholesalers and retailers and consumers. A value chain is defined by its particular consumer segment.

Producer-driven Buyer-driven Facilitator-driven Integrated Value Chain Business Models For value chains and value chain financing, a business model refers to the drivers, processes and resources for the chain. Four types of business models:
Value Chain Finance Tools/Products 1. Product Financing 2. Receivable Financing 3. Physical Asset Collateralization 4. Risk Mitigation Products 5. Financial Enhancements
Physical Asset Collateralization Concept • The borrower uses an asset as a negotiable collateral (whether physical or financial) • The assets can be pledged, or physically transferred • The borrower reserves the rights to the proceeds of the assets • The creditor may dispose of the property when the borrower defaults on its payment obligations • Financial instruments • Warehouse receipts (inventory-backed financing) • Leasing finance • Buy-back agreements (Re-purchase agreements, “repos”)
