Trade finance

Our expertise, your growth

Using trade instruments and trade loans, trade finance provides the means to purchase the required goods and components to fulfil customer orders.

AXS Trade Finance provides a detailed assessment of the required level and type of finance to help a financier deliver funding at every point of the trade cycle.

Growth is often held back by lack of finance. The success of winning a hard fought order turns to frustration and disappointment when working capital cannot be accessed to make the deal happen.

Trade finance is the provision of finance and or trade instruments to enable the fulfilment of customer orders. When correctly applied it releases higher levels of funding than traditional lines of finance.

The traditional method of bank lending assessment places primary importance on financial information such as historic net profit, retained earnings, balance sheet net assets and tangible security. This often results in a bank refusing to provide the necessary level of finance to fund a company’s trade cycle even though firm customer orders are held.

Trade finance, when correctly evaluated and applied, can deliver significantly higher levels of finance thus providing a solution to both company and financier.
