Import Finance Advisory.
Import finance funds overseas procurement — paying suppliers abroad — ahead of receiving, processing and eventually selling the imported goods domestically.
Overseas Procurement Funding · LC-Backed Import Finance · Supplier Payment Bridging
Where This Applies
- Overseas suppliers need to be paid before imported goods can be sold domestically.
- A letter of credit is often needed to give the overseas supplier payment comfort.
- The gap between procurement and sale needs to be bridged with the right tenor facility.
- Currency risk on the import needs to be factored into the overall structure.
