Soft Commodities Trader
Due to increased sales, a soft commodity trader required a receivables purchase facility for one of their large customers - purchased from Africa and sold to the US.
Metals Trader
Purchasing commodities from Africa, the US, and Europe and selling to Europe, a metals trader required a receivables finance facility for a book of their receivables/customers.
Energy Trading Group
An energy group, selling mainly into Europe, desired a receivables purchase facility to discount names, where they had increased sales and concentration.
Clothing company
Rather than waiting 90 days until payment was made, the company wanted to pay suppliers on the day that the title to goods transferred to them, meaning it could expand its range of suppliers and receive supplier discounts.

Export Credit Agency (ECA) in Iran
About Export Guarantee Fund of Iran
In order to provide financial security to Iranian exporters and effectively boost non-oil exports in the country, the Export Guarantee Fund of Iran (EGFI), an affiliate of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade, was established as an independent legal and financial entity in 1994.
It succeeded the first Export Credit Agency (ECA), established in 1973 to represent the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regional interests.
Now a legally and financially independent entity that is 100% state-owned, the EGFI’s primary purpose is to provide exporters with:
- Export credit policies to cover the major political and commercial risks involved in their export operations
- Credit guarantees to help them meet their financial requirements
Relying on government support, this fund covers political and commercial risks of export in addition to issuing credit guarantees (surety) to provide the exporters with the necessary finance.
