Trade Finance

What is Trade Finance?

Buying goods from overseas can be a great opportunity for your business - but it can also be complicated. From finding suitable suppliers and importing the goods, to ensuring you sell them for a profit, each step of the way can bring challenges.

Any delay when buying, taking delivery and selling goods can negatively impact on a business, especially when trading overseas. If funds aren’t readily available at the point of purchase or even when placing orders, your ability to meet your customers’ expectations, or to take on lucrative new contracts can be weakened.

Trade Finance gives you access to all or part of the cash you need upfront, meaning you can take advantage of valuable discounts and build trust with new suppliers without leaving your business exposed.
