Invoice & Trade Finance
Invoice finance can work as an effective tool for funding working capital gaps by advancing the cash on outstanding invoices. It is a very useful tool in growing businesses, in particular those invoicing larger organisations than themselves. It is also highly useful for raising cash in event driven scenarios such as management buy outs and acquisitions.
Trade finance is another tool to support working capital in particular for manufacturing and retail businesses. By funding from the purchase of raw material, through the value add process and into the stock phase, trade finance can enable businesses to invest quicker and thus facilitate growth in sales. By combining with an invoice finance facility it is possible to create an end to end funding model that maximises available funding to support growth.
