What Is Trade Finance?
Trade finance is short-term funding used to pay suppliers before customer payments land. It is ideal for businesses with import cycles, large orders, or growing inventory needs.
Lenders cover supplier payments upfront, and you repay once goods are delivered, invoiced, or sold. Whether you’re buying from overseas or funding large POs, trade finance unlocks stock without freezing cash.
Common Types of Trade Finance
- Stock-backed Finance – Pay UK or overseas suppliers directly
- PO Finance – Fund large customer orders ahead of delivery
- Structure Trade- For complex, multi-leg supply chains
