| Baghdadi Capital invests in ACF, which is expected to reach 100 million USD valuationBy: Baghdadi Capital Since its founding in 2002, ACF has financed the growth of more than 500 companies, executing over 15,000 transactions and deploying more than $450 million through factoring, supplier credit, and medium-term financing. Recognized for its agility and client-first approach, ACF has built a strong reputation as a trusted partner for SMEs navigating cross-border commerce. This investment strengthens Baghdadi Capital's position as a connector across trade corridors linking the U.S., Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East, while expanding its client base and reinforcing its capacity to deliver tailored financing solutions in key markets. "This is a milestone in Baghdadi Capital's journey," said Baihas Baghdadi, Founder and Executive Chairman. "By joining forces with ACF's deep expertise in the U.S. and Latin American markets, we are building a true bridge between buyers and sellers across Latin America, the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. To support ACF's growth, we are providing $50 million in funding on day one, gradually increasing available funding to $200 million over the next 24 months. Following this equity investment and capital expansion, we expect ACF's valuation to reach $100 million. I am equally excited to collaborate with ACF's talented professionals, whose values align perfectly with ours." In recent years, ACF has demonstrated its ability to scale internationally. In 2024, the firm established ACF UK to serve European and Asian markets. By 2025, ACF UK had deployed its first $5 million portfolio, while the broader group reached a $60 million revolving portfolio. "This is not only a step forward in our growth but also an expansion of the opportunities we can offer clients," said Ricardo Zion, Vice Chairman of Baghdadi Capital. "We are honored to partner with Baghdadi Capital and bring our team's expertise into a larger independent platform," added Juan Carlos Zurita, President of ACF. Rodrigo López, CEO of ACF, concluded: "This partnership unlocks new resources, global reach, and capital access. Together, we will advance our mission of building seamless international connections and growth opportunities." The transaction, completed in September 2025, represents a significant milestone in Baghdadi Capital's global diversification and growth strategy. Media Contact deborah.hartmann@ End
