Trade finance solutions

Trade finance is an area of commercial finance co-existing alongside bank overdrafts, factoring and invoice discounting  in order to enable goods to be purchased for onward sale and therefore funding the gap between the purchase and sale of the product. Trade finance is normally, but not necessarily, used for the import of goods.

Trade finance can take a variety of forms from purchase finance through letters of credit to schemes funding the Vat element of exports.

Many companies have huge potential for growth which they have difficulty in fulfilling due to the lack of available finance through traditional banking or factoring facilities but there are niche players in the market place who have developed innovative methods of funding and we have listed some of the specialized areas below where finance is available.

Trade Finance for the import or export of goods prior to resale

Purchase finance to fund the purchase of finished goods against firm customer orders

Purchase finance to fund the purchase of raw materials to use in the manufacturing process
