Financing tomorrow's trade
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.

Invoice Financing
What is invoice financing?
Invoice Financing allows firms to not have to wait up to 90 days for an invoice to receive payment. Around 70% of SMEs face late payment cash flow issues during their growth.
Simply put, invoice finance helps SMEs to sell up to 95% of invoices issued within 24 hours.
Invoice finance offers advantages over more traditional working capital finance such as commercial mortgages, and trade finance.
If you’re a London based organisation who has to release cash from an invoice, one of our London based invoice finance professionals could be of assistance.
Invoice finance enables firms immediate access to finance with minimum financial risk, because the security is guaranteed through the invoices from the supplier.

A Short Guide to Invoice Finance
Trade Finance
How does trade finance work?
Trade finance, a versatile tool, facilitates global or domestic trade, involving purchase orders and invoices for goods acquisition. Companies often leverage complex options like uncommitted trade finance facilities, letters of credit, or standby letters of credit.
Trade finance can mean many different things including:
- Receivables finance
- Letters of Credit
- Standby Letters of Credit
- Cash flow lending
- Revolving credit facilities
- Uncommitted trade finance lines
- Tripartite trade finance agreements
- Borrowing base facilities
- Reverse factoring
- Stock finance
All facilities are intended to increase trade where there is a buyer and seller confirmed. However, in some industries this is not always absolute and so variations of this model will be true. This may be seen in stock finance or a revolving credit facility where there are not 100% purchase orders, due to a specific industry or trade.
Our network provides specialised solutions like Structured Finance and Purchase Order Finance, with facilities starting at £100k and no upper limit. If your organisation seeks to buy or trade over £50k, is creditworthy, and has end buyers, contact us for assistance.
