Funding designed to help businesses purchase stock, fulfil customer orders and manage the cash flow gap between paying suppliers and receiving payment from customers.
Trade and supply chain finance can help bridge the gap between a business needing to pay suppliers and the point at which it receives payment from its own customers. It can support stock purchases, confirmed orders and cross-border trading requirements.
It may be relevant when a business has secured a large customer order, needs to increase stock ahead of demand, imports goods with supplier payment terms, or is growing faster than its existing working capital can comfortably support.
We start by understanding the transaction — what is being purchased, the supplier, the customer order, payment terms and the trading cycle. From there we can explore finance providers that support the relevant type of transaction or working capital requirement.
