The timescales involved in International Trade can be longer than those of domestic trade. Funding the purchase of materials, components or finished goods often puts pressure on a companies cashflow. Import loans are a structured funding method more suited than the traditional overdraft to companies that trade internationally,and who utilise Letters of Credit or Documentary Collections to settle with their suppliers.
How it works
Payment is made by drawing down a short term loan,to settle the Letter of Credit or Documentary Collection, typically for up to 180 days, to fund the period up until you sell your goods and receive payment.
