Securing cash access for
future growth through
Trade Finance.

This is why more than 70% of trade companies utilise the advantages of trade finance; a finance option that can support your entire trade cycle.

Trade finance covers various financial solutions that bridge the gap between paying suppliers and receiving payments from customers, used commonly by companies to facilitate international trade and large commerce projects. Instead of having to find significant funds to get an order off the ground, trade finance can lend you with the cash until you get it from the customer. It is as simple as that.  

A simple way to grow your operation

If you choose to only work with the same suppliers and customers, it is likely that your business will plateau, fail to innovate or stay relevant in its market. But, with working with new customers being a financial risk, businesses struggle to see away to grow.

With the help of trade finance, businesses can borrow the cash up front to take on new projects, not eating into their float or putting their business’ cashflow in jeopardy. Whether you are seeking funds for one international deal or would benefit from cash to get a number of local orders out the door, trade finance may well be the answer.

In our experience it is the most ambitious, disruptive businesses with clear growth plans that are utilising the lifeline of trade finance.

How does trade finance work?

As mentioned, trade finance provides a cash advance on a trade deal, allowing companies to buy, receive and sell goods before payment is made to them from the end customer. The amount of money that can be lent will be based on the pre-orders you have, previous sale history and contracts signed.

Suppliers can be paid on the same day goods are shipped and funding is available until you receive the end-customer payment. This in turn makes the whole process run smoothly.

What’s more, having a strong financial foundation makes both fulfilling orders and forging new relationships with potential suppliers and customers a lot easier.  

Financing international deals

Perfecting international trade deals is the ambition of most companies, with high-volume international trade being where the real money is. If you are looking to secure your first overseas deal or have been presented with a lucrative opportunity then trade finance can help you significantly during this chapter. Providing you with the upfront capital to recruit staff, purchase materials whilst not comprising your precious cashflow, trade finance is beneficial on many different levels.
