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.

About Jordan Loan Guarantee Corporation
The Jordan Loan Guarantee Corporation (JLGC) was established as a public shareholding company on 17 May 1994 as part of the Loan Guarantee project, founded by the United States Agency for International Development in 1989, and managed by the Industrial Development Bank until September 1993.
Initially, the company’s aim was to provide the necessary guarantees to facilitate the financing of SMEs and expand Jordan’s private commercial sector. However, in 1997, its remit expanded to include the Export Credit Insurance program, designed to encourage Jordanian businesses to export their products by providing insurance to cover the commercial and non-commercial risks to which their exports could be exposed to.
In 2016, its capital holdings were increased to raise the applicable credit limits and develop new guarantee instruments for SME loans and provide a better range of Export and Domestic Credit Guarantees.
The aim is to enable Jordanian exporters to grow their export sales to foreign markets that they work with, without the need for L/C’s or advance payment, by providing payment facilities to face competition among foreign vendors.
The credit insurance covers:
- Commercial risks:
- Non-payment by the buyer
- Insolvency of the buyer
- The refusal of the buyer to accept the shipped goods
- Non-commercial risks:
- Government restrictions on currency conversion
- Any government decisions & regulations that prevent the entry of goods, and wars and civil disturbance.
Our insurance policy is considered a guarantee tool (loss payee) for Jordanian banks, which enables the policyholder to discount the invoices at his bank in order to maintain liquidity.
