Trade Finance

• Paying suppliers to fulfil a confirmed customer order.
• Buying stock or raw materials to meet demand.
• Taking on larger contracts than current cash flow allows.
• Managing seasonal peaks where you buy well ahead of being paid.

Supplier payments:  Funding to pay suppliers up front, at home or overseas, so production is never held up by cash.

Structured around the order:  The facility is built around a confirmed order or contract, not just your balance sheet.

Works alongside other funding:  Trade finance often sits beside an invoice finance or working capital facility, covering the buy side while they cover the rest.

Revolves with your trading:  As one order is repaid, the facility is there for the next, growing in line with the business.

• UK-based business.
• A confirmed order, contract or clear trading history behind the funding request.
• Business-to-business trading.
• Full asset backing is not always required, as the funding is structured around the transaction.
