Export finance and insurance

Export Finance bridges the gap between order and invoice finance. This is often a period of extreme financial pressure, when there is a firm commitment from a customer to buy, but insufficient cash to purchase raw materials or to buy-in goods. Export finance is deal-specific and is therefore not subject to usual banking restrictions.

We can arrange Letters of Credit, even on VAT, and can provide finance against a single debtor or group of debtors.

Potential advantages of Export Finance

	An additional source of funding to assist in financing pre-sold goods.
	Up to 100% cost of goods, plus VAT can be financed.
	Letters of Credit.
	Finance against single debtors or whole debtor book.
	The service does not impact upon existing financial arrangements.

What are we looking for in a Export Finance deal?

	People with experience in their trade.
	Non-perishable / non-controversial goods.
	Firm orders in hand.
	Our ability to obtain title to the goods.
	End purchaser’s ability to pay.
	Support of other funders.
