What is Trade Finance?

Export or trade finance is an umbrella term for the financing of goods or services used in international trade. Companies trade overseas to increase their market share, compete globally and find competitive suppliers to help grow their businesses. The most common form of finance in this sector is through receivables discounting, issuing Letters of Credit and factoring.

When importing goods from overseas, businesses are often required to pay the full sum of the goods upfront – which is often a strain on working capital. A Letter of Credit is one mechanism which can be used to guarantee payment to the supplier whilst protecting the importer from risks such as non-shipment of the goods. Invoice finance, or factoring is another product which is fundamental in cross-border trade and a core part of supply chain financing. We work with experts both geographically and in specific sectors to help connect you with the most appropriate funder.
