Ukrainian businesses need capital not only for large investment projects. Often, it concerns much more practical matters: purchasing goods, equipment, fuel, raw materials, fertilizers, machinery, or paying for services without which an enterprise cannot operate stably and scale. <\/p>\n\n

This is why the issue of access to financing for micro, small, and medium-sized businesses remains one of the key issues for the economy. And here it is important to talk not only about bank lending, but also about other instruments for attracting capital. One of them is corporate bonds. <\/p>\n\n

Bonds: Issuer and Investor<\/h4>\n\n

For the issuing company, bonds are a way to attract resources in the capital market. For the investor, they are an opportunity to diversify the portfolio and earn income from a corporate instrument. But most importantly, where exactly this capital is directed after being raised. <\/p>\n\n

If the funds work in the real economy, they cease to be merely a financial resource. They become an opportunity for businesses to purchase necessary goods or services today and distribute payment over time. This model is especially important for entrepreneurs who work with seasonality, unstable cash flow, or rapidly growing demand. <\/p>\n\n

Activitis Case<\/h4>\n\n

In the case of Activitis<\/a>, attracting this type of financing is also important because the company, through its fintech infrastructure, demonstrates to investors exactly where the raised funds are directed. This concerns financing the working capital of micro, small, and medium-sized businesses, including through digital embedded finance instruments\u2014the WEAGRO and eDilo online services integrated into B2B sales. <\/p>\n\n

Such solutions allow entrepreneurs to purchase necessary goods and services now and distribute payment over time. Examples of this approach include the integration of eDilo into the Epicenter Business platform, where payment deferral has become a new payment method, as well as a partnership with Glovo aimed at financing businesses working with the platform. <\/p>\n\n

Who Invests<\/h4>\n\n

Using the example of Activitis’ fintech infrastructure, we see that interest in corporate bonds is formed not only from private investors. Among the company’s bondholders are over 600 investors, including non-state pension funds, venture funds, IT companies, law firms, and private investors. <\/p>\n\n

This shows that corporate bonds are gradually becoming a more understandable instrument not only for private investors, but also for businesses and professional market participants. At the same time, for the issuer, this model implies a high level of responsibility: regular payments, a transparent financial model, and the ability to fulfill obligations to investors. <\/p>\n\n

During the period of the issue, Activitis has already made four quarterly income payments to investors in full. For the market, this is important not as a separate corporate fact, but as an element of building trust in the instrument itself. <\/p>\n\n

Regulatory Innovations<\/h4>\n\n

A separate topic is the development of regulation. Activitis became the first company to issue bonds under a model new to the Ukrainian market, where the prospectus consists of a base prospectus and final terms of a specific issue. This approach allows for faster and more flexible work with subsequent issues, as the main information about the issuer is already approved, and for each new issue, its specific parameters are determined. <\/p>\n\n

Also important is the application of the DvP principle\u2014”delivery versus payment.” It increases the security of transactions, as the transfer of securities and settlements for them occur simultaneously. For investors, this is an additional element of protection, and for the market, a step toward a more mature infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n

Market Prospects<\/h4>\n\n

In the future, corporate bonds may remain one of the sources of capital attraction for Ukrainian companies. At the same time, their attractiveness will depend on several factors: market yield, competition with government instruments, issuer quality, transparency in the use of funds, and stability in fulfilling obligations. <\/p>\n\n

For the investor, corporate bonds are not a replacement for government securities, but an instrument of diversification. For business, they are an opportunity to attract resources outside of traditional bank lending. For the economy, they are a way to direct private capital into the development of entrepreneurship. <\/p>\n\n

And this is precisely where the main value of such instruments lies: they can combine the investor’s interest in yield with the business’s need for accessible capital for operation, development, and scaling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
