Whether you have been exporting for years – or are completely new to international trade – our expert team can help.
All types of business turn to us, including manufacturers, printers, wholesalers, exporters, hauliers and recruitment agencies. They all enjoy the same straightforward approach: if a debt can be discounted in the UK, then we will usually discount it overseas.
Managing your risks
Knowledge is everything in international trade. Our global network and powerful databases help us to understand your overseas customer base – and potentially avoid unnecessary risks.
Worried about non-payment or late payment? We can also structure recourse and bad debt protection arrangements.
A truly international service
If you don’t speak the language, collecting debts from overseas can be expensive, time-consuming and frustrating.
If you choose our factoring solution, we can manage the entire process on your behalf – using our multi-lingual collections team based in the UK.
We also understand the legal systems and cultural issues in the world’s main markets – for example, many European countries demand proof of delivery before making a payment. We can even help you to work in the local currency - or provide funding to your overseas subsidiaries.
All you have to do is ask your relationship manager.
Faster payments
Did you know that the cheque clearance system in the USA (and some other countries) can mean that payments take up to five weeks to reach your account?
Why wait? We have set up local payment accounts that your customers can use – speeding up the payment process and easing your cash flow.
