Opportunity BasketSchoolTrust: Education-Specific Receivables Financing & Payment Plan Network
A hybrid financial service that (1) provides schools immediate cash against future tuition receivables at transparent rates, and (2) operates a tuition payment plan marketplace where families can pay in installments without the school managing collections. Schools submit their enrollment roster and payment schedules; SchoolTrust advances 70-85% of expected tuition within 48 hours, then collects directly from families via mobile money, bank transfers, or employer payroll deductions. Schools pay a collection fee (3-5% of amount financed) only on funds actually collected.

Value Proposition
Schools eliminate cash flow gaps without high-interest loans or collateral; families get flexible payment terms without school overhead; SchoolTrust captures the spread between advance rate and collection, plus payment plan fees. Beats banks because it's built for education's seasonal/lumpy revenue; beats informal lending because it's transparent and doesn't trap schools in debt cycles.
