Trade Financing

Customized revolving trade solutions depend on each businesses modus operandi to ensure working capital gaps are bridged. Trade facilitation such as Letter of Credit (LC) and Invoice Financing enables SMEs to fund their purchase of goods, helping them to collect their goods earlier and faster.

Trade Facility is particularly popular among traders who are looking to leverage additional banking limits to bridge their financing gap and facilitate overseas trading. Manufacturing, building & construction firms will also find Trade Facility very useful for purchasing of raw materials and subcontractor payments.

Letter of Credit

Letter of Credit (or LC) is a commonly used trade finance instrument used to ensure that the payment of goods and services will be fulfilled between a buyer and a seller. Both parties use an intermediary, namely a bank or financier, to issue a Letter of Credit and legally guarantee that the goods or services received will be paid for.

Invoice Financing

Invoice Financing provides businesses with working capital to improve immediate cash flow, pay employees and suppliers, and reinvest in operations and growth earlier than they could otherwise if they had to wait until their customers paid their invoices in full.

Documents Collection

Documents Collection is a procedure that allows a seller to give their bank instructions to forward trade-related documents to the bank of the buyer. The documents are availed to the buyer once they’ve made and finalized payment. The process is normally termed “Documents against payment and Documents against acceptance.”

Factoring

Factoring enables businesses to get advance cash from long repayment and credit terms from reputable buyers. Typical profiles of these buyers are usually government agencies, sizable SMEs and large MNCs; thus they’re able to extend longer than usual credit terms.

Supply Chain Financing

Supply chain finance, also known as supplier finance or reverse factoring, is a set of solutions that optimizes cash flow by allowing businesses to lengthen their payment terms to their suppliers while providing the option for their large and SME suppliers to get paid early.

Crowd Funding & Peer to Peer Lending

The terms “Crowdfunding” and “Peer-to-Peer Lending” often get confused as one and the same — and there’s a good reason for that. Both involve groups of people providing financial assistance in support of entrepreneurship, usually small business ownership. But peer-to-peer lending is actually a subset of crowdfunding, and the terms shouldn’t be used interchangeably. Why? Because these two business loan alternatives offer different advantages and disadvantages, depending on your business type and goals.

Private Financing & Licensed Money Lending

Private financing is a term used to describe a loan that is given to an individual or company by a private organization or even a wealthy individual. The organization or the individual is known as a private funder.
The cost of borrowing is typically higher for private financing or MAS regulated licensed lending; reason being the risk of borrowing and cost of funding is higher as compared to bank loans.

We have the expertise and the team to make this process as easy and effective as possible.

Every business is unique, we will give you a unique set of tools to achieve your goals.
