About us.
We are obsessed with trade credit, a hidden niche that supports the world of business. We love trade credit and what it is capable of doing for the world.
Trade Shield was started inside another startup, Inoxico, where its rapid growth and international ambitions allowed it to be spun off into its own focused company in early 2023. By focusing on developing business risk solutions in Africa since 2009, Inoxico has successfully developed multiple valuable products in the areas of supplier risk, customer risk, and third-party risk management.
Today, Trade Shield has about 50 employees across three countries, with the majority based in South Africa. Our staff are a mixture of trade credit experts, data scientists, software developers, customer success maniacs and sales executives.

Mission.
Trade Credit is the most important form of growth capital in modern economies where small and medium sized businesses depend on their suppliers offering credit terms where the financial services industry is not able to support. Our mission is to increase access to trade credit facilities for those companies that most need it and who will generate the most growth from it.
Vision.
Our vision is to facilitate the growth of millions of great businesses supported by their access to trade credit facilities, thereby growing the wealth of their communities and enriching their economies. We will achieve this vision by becoming the leading provider of trade credit analytics and decisioning tools across the globe.
