Trade Finance is a form of short to medium term working capital solution which uses the security of the stock or goods being exported/imported as a guarantee.
Increased your Revenue Potential / Higher Margins.
Trade Finance allows buyers to request higher volumes of stock or bigger orders from suppliers meaning businesses can easily benefit from economies of scale and bulk discounts on volumes.

More Efficiency in Trades and Supply Chain.
Managing the supply chain is so important for any business. Trade and supply chain finance helps ease out cash constraints or cash gaps whether it’s the suppliers, customers, third parties, employees or providers. Trade Finance can help ease and release working capital from the supply chain.
Mitigates Risk from Suppliers.
Trade Financing reduces credit and payment risks or bad debt risk on suppliers as the funders take hold over the goods being traded. Trade Financing focuses more on the trade than the underlying borrower’s balance sheet, so small businesses with small balance sheets can trade larger volumes more easily and work with larger end customers.
Diversify Your Supplier Network.
Working with other international players allows business owners to diversify their supplier network which increases competition and drives efficiency in markets and supply chains.
Reduces Bankruptcy Risks.
Late payments from debtors, bad debts, excess stock and demanding creditors can have detrimental effects on a business. External financing or revolving credit facilities can ease this pressure and prevent an SME from facing these risks.
