Abstract: Logistics financing is a critical component of economic growth in Kenya, where the sector faces challenges such as poor credit management, limited financial resources, and high operational costs. This paper examines innovative logistics financing strategies, including digital credit, third-party logistics financing, and machine learning–based credit risk assessment, and their implications for firm performance and competitiveness. By reviewing empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, the paper proposes a conceptual model linking logistics financing strategies to economic growth, highlighting the role of efficient credit management, working capital optimization, and value innovation in strengthening Kenya’s logistics sector.
