Import finance
The finance you need to import finished goods
Companies sometimes struggle to find the finance they need to acquire and import goods to meet firm sales orders. An import loan provides the short-term financing you need to make the most of your commercial opportunities. Import loans are available to experienced importers with good trading records and firm purchase orders from credit-worthy end-customers.
The key benefits· Gain access to capital secured against the value of orders for the goods you plan to acquire.
· Negotiate discounts from your suppliers based on your ability to pay on sight of finished goods.
· Free up existing lines of credit for other business purposes.
Features and benefits· Easily arranged.
· Take advantage of special terms from your supplier on larger-than-usual orders.
· Demonstrate your liquidity to suppliers, encouraging them to do more business with you.
Pre-Shipment Finance
Leverage agreed contracts to provide working capital
Exporters can find that winning new contracts puts pressure on working capital as production and staff costs increase. But if you have a confirmed order from a quality buyer, backed by a letter of credit, then we are likely to be able to find a funder that is prepared to lend as much as 50% of the value of the contract. Pre-shipment finance is available to experienced manufacturers with a good financial track record and a firm contract to supply creditworthy finished goods on standard trading terms.
The key benefits· Knowing that finance will be available when you need it allows you to take on larger orders and grow your business.
· Build the known cost of the facility into your order pricing.
Post Shipment Finance
Use expected customer payments to secure your obligations to suppliers
Exporters of raw materials or finished goods can find themselves short of working capital if funding a large contract from their own resources. Post-shipment finance allows you access to the capital you need immediately on shipment of your goods. Instead of waiting around for payment from your customer you have the finance in place to fund further operations. Post-shipment finance is available to producers of raw materials or manufactured goods.
The key benefits· You will be able to grow your business and take on larger contracts knowing that you will have the finance in place to meet the associated costs.
· As sales grow you can negotiate additional matching finance.
· Improved cash flow may allow you to win further sales by offering more generous credit terms.
Features and benefits· Provided the quality of the end-buyer and their bank is acceptable cash can normally be made available immediately the goods are shipped.
· Turn sales into usable capital faster.
