TRADE FINANCE SOLUTIONS
Information
While both invoice factoring and trade finance are ways to address financial needs related to business transactions, invoice factoring primarily focuses on improving cash flow through the sale of accounts receivable, while trade finance covers a broader range of financial instruments and services aimed at facilitating international trade and managing associated risks.
What is Trade Finance?
Trade finance allows businesses to make direct payments to your suppliers, bridging the funding gap between paying your suppliers and being paid by your customers. Trade finance can enable you to take on more orders and grow your business. When you're faced with a payment that may affect your cash flow, we can arrange finance to make the payment directly to your suppliers on your behalf.
Trade finance is a vital financial instrument used by businesses worldwide, particularly those engaged in international trade. This form of financing is especially popular among experienced business operators who deal with international buyers and suppliers. Over centuries, trade finance has played a crucial role in facilitating smooth transactions across borders.
