Trade Finance for International Orders
Good international orders can be difficult to execute when the buyer and supplier need cash at different times.
A manufacturer may require a deposit when production begins and final payment before shipment. The buyer may then wait several more weeks before the goods arrive, are sold and generate cash. That gap can restrict growth even when the underlying trade is profitable.
01
Trade Finance Connected to the Real Transaction
Integrated Asian Trade Agency helps eligible clients explore trade finance connected to the underlying purchase, supplier, production and shipment.
Where we are already involved in sourcing or logistics, the financing discussion can be supported by information about the supplier, purchase order, invoice, goods, production status, inspection and shipping route.
02
Import Finance
Import finance may help a business fund the purchase of goods from an overseas supplier and bridge the period between supplier payment and the eventual sale of the imported stock.
03
Purchase Order Finance
Purchase order finance may be relevant where a business has a confirmed customer order but needs working capital to buy or manufacture the goods required to fulfil it. The finance provider will normally assess the buyer, supplier, customer order, margins, goods and repayment route.
04
Supplier, Inventory and Supply Chain Finance
Depending on the transaction and financing partner, other options may include supplier finance, inventory finance, receivables finance, supply chain finance, documentary trade instruments, trade credit insurance, foreign exchange and international payment solutions.
05
Who Trade Finance May Help
Trade finance can be relevant to importers, wholesalers, distributors, retailers, e-commerce businesses, manufacturers buying components and SMEs whose orders are growing faster than their available working capital.
