My company has been involved in various trading activities of physical commodities for many years. We have been involved in raw metals and minerals to finished metal extrusions. Fresh fruit to clothing.
The hardest part is to get the transaction closed with the buyer before rolling up the sleeves to put all the logistical parts together to ensure that the product is received in time by the customer or client. Often cash flows and payment requirements in cross border transactions can put the best plans to a halt. Suppliers require guarantees of payment or payment in advance of production or shipping, delaying the supply chains and causing problems with your customers. One of the issues that can happen with the delayed supply chain could have the customer cancelling the PO and leaving your company with all the products.
One of the things that I have enjoyed the most about Trade financing is the various products and systems that can be employed to create a solution to the challenges facing companies. There really is no one approach that works best or one solution for all companies and trades. The approach that we take at AIM Financing is to sit down and consider the customers, suppliers and traders. Ensuring that costs are maintained to make the transaction beneficial to all parties.
When stakes are high, having the right financing solution is a valuable asset. Increasing the complexity of international and cross border trades, financing acts as a tool to protect your company from poor delivery of suppliers or delays.
