Trade Finance
Is your business growing quicker than your cashflow?
What is Trade Finance?
Trade Finance is the financing of the movement of product from seller to buyer, whether local or international. It enables the importer or exporter to mitigate the risks associated with a particular trade and allows cash-flow assistance through a bridging finance solution.
Why do I need Trade Finance?
- Trade Finance creates scalability and flexibility in your product procurement process by bridging the cash flow gap between paying your supplier and collecting from your client.
- It is especially beneficial in the SME market, where general company cash flow is a challenge and where you might not have preferential terms with your suppliers.
- Favourable product margins compliment this finance solution if you are able to justify the cost in relation to the value add.
- If you have the opportunity to negotiate discounts with your suppliers, this saving can potentially offset the cost of finance.
