Export Finance

Export Finance To Support International Business

Export finance is a popular form of trade finance. It has many benefits when providing goods or services outside of the UK. When a company decides to export goods and do business abroad they face a lot of new challenges. Orchard Business Finance is experienced in supporting firms, trading overseas, by helping to provide them with tailored export finance solutions.

A major issue with exporting goods can be the longer credit terms typically associated. With goods travelling further, firms that perform overseas business often find their cash is tied up for longer than if they were providing a similar service in the UK. To avoid a negative impact on cashflow, export finance can often be the perfect option.

What Can Export Finance Be Used For?

Fortunately, the Orchard Business Finance team has great expertise within the export finance market. We can provide you detailed guidance based on your specific funding requirements.

Key Uses For Export Finance Include:
Improvements To Working Capital

Liquidity issues, cashflow problems and other working capital deficiencies can often lead to stressful and financially restrictive times. Often, when supplying overseas, higher shipping costs and longer repayment terms for your clients can result in working capital issues. Export finance through ourselves can help ease the short-term pressures to allow your business to maximise the benefits of trading abroad. Talk to our team today to find out how export finance will benefit your working capital.

Additional Flexibility For Customer Payment Terms

When you decide to offer your goods or services overseas you’ll have potentially global competition. You’ll need to make sure your terms of business are attractive enough for foreign clients to choose your company and not a competitor. By using an export finance facility you’ll have the ability to offer better agreements to customers, including potential deal-breakers, such as payment terms. Benefits like this could help to enhance your chances of winning more business.

Mitigate Exchange Rate Losses

If you’re planning to deal with a specific country, on a consistent basis, you can often benefit from using a lender who has a specialist knowledge of the region and its local currency. Funding can often be provided in the local currency which could help mitigate any exchange rate fluctuations. The team here at Orchard Business Finance can help identify the best option for your exact funding needs.
