FAQs – Trade and Receivables Finance

Trade and Receivables Finance helps businesses fund trade deals by bridging payment gaps. Common questions cover eligibility, document requirements, timelines, costs, collateral, and international versus domestic trade options.

What is trade finance?

Trade finance refers to financial instruments and products that help businesses facilitate international and domestic trade transactions by bridging the gap between a supplier shipping goods and the buyer making payment.

What types of trade finance solutions are available?

Solutions include letters of credit, invoice financing, supply chain finance, receivables finance, export finance, and structured trade finance.

Who is eligible for trade or receivables finance?

Typically, companies that trade goods or services, both locally and internationally, and have creditworthy buyers. Lenders may require financial records, trade history, and commercial invoices.

How long does it take to secure trade finance?

Timelines can vary, but after submitting required documents, facilities can sometimes be arranged within a few days to a few weeks, depending on the complexity.

Do I need to have a minimum turnover to qualify?

Some lenders require a minimum annual turnover, often starting at £250,000, but smaller businesses may also qualify with strong trade contracts.

Is collateral required?

Not always. Many trade finance products are secured against the trade transaction itself (e.g., purchase orders, invoices), though additional security may be required for higher risk profiles.
