Trade Finance
Have you ever had to turn away business because you couldn’t afford to fund it? Or received a Purchase Order from your customer but don’t have the capital to pay the overseas manufacturer 100% before the goods leave the factory? Get the finance you need to pay your suppliers, be it for imports or exports. This lets you focus on closing sales rather than worrying about how to manage your cash flows.

How Trade Finance Works for Importers
- You order goods from an overseas supplier.
- You receive the supplier’s invoice and send it to us as Good To Pay.
- We pay your supplier’s invoice.
- You receive the goods and pay us on agreed terms.
- If you don’t have funds available when the goods arrive then we can establish an Invoice Finance facility for you.
- Invoice finance is a flexible business funding option where we issue funds to you based on the invoice you have issued to your client. It’s much better than a business loan or overdraft, carries no hidden fees and funds are issued within 1-2 days of approval. All we charge you is a small fee when the client pays your invoice.
How Trade Finance Works for Exporters
- You receive an order from an overseas customer.
- Based on the purchase order we provide you with the finance needed to manufacture the goods.
- Goods are shipped to the customer.
- The customer pays you for the goods as per your trading terms.
- You repay us when you receive the funds from your customer.
