Tradewind Provides $4 Million Export Factoring Facility to Fabric and Home Textiles Company based in Pakistan

Tradewind has announced a $4 million post shipment finance facility for a manufacturer and exporter of fabric, home textiles, and apparel based in Pakistan. The company mainly sells to buyers in the USA and Europe and is using Tradewind’s funding to support its increasing sales on open account terms.

The client, who has worked with Tradewind previously, approached the trade finance firm again when its buyers started to request longer credit terms. Aware that waiting longer for its buyers to pay could negatively impact its cash flow and potentially hurdle it into a liquidity crisis, the client turned to Tradewind not only for quick funding that improved its working capital position but also for the credit protection it provided in the case of buyer insolvency as well as its collections services.

Tradewind’s Pakistan office organized the financing arrangement and offered local support to supplement the company’s flexible solutions and international capabilities.

With more liquidity on hand, the client plans to further penetrate the international market and better target potential customers.

“We are glad to offer a cash flow solution that satisfies not only the client’s, but also its buyers’, needs. Tradewind Pakistan has been recognized as a pioneer in factoring services in the region and is happy to see that their client is meeting the rising demand to conduct business on open account terms with their help,” states Rafi-ul-Hasan, Managing Director of Tradewind Pakistan.

Tradewind (formerly DS-Concept) provides innovative international cash flow solutions tailored for global clients. Focused on the mid-market, its core products are non-recourse factoring and supply chain finance. The group has built an unrivaled reputation for the depth of its international finance expertise by maintaining a network of offices around the world including the USA, China, India, Hong Kong, UAE, Turkey, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iceland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Peru and its headquarters in Germany. Combining financing, credit protection, and collections into a single trade finance facility, Tradewind offers streamlined, flexible and best-in-class services.

应收账款融资和票据融资的区别?

应收账款融资和票据融资都是企业常用的融资方式,但它们在融资标的、操作流程和适用场景上存在一些显著区别: 1、融资标的不同 应收账款融资:以企业的应收账款为融资基础,企业将尚未收回的货款(即应收账款)转让或质押给银行或金融机构,从而获得融资。应收账款融资是基于买卖合同中未来应收的款项。 票据融资:主要以企业持有的商业票据(如商业承兑汇票或银行承兑汇票)为融资标的。企业将票据转让或贴现给银行以获取资金。票据融资是基于现有票据的信用。 2、融资方式不同: 应收账款融资:包括保理、应收账款质押贷款等形式。企业可以转让应收账款给保理公司(有追索权或无追索权),或者以应收账款作抵押向银行申请贷款。 票据融资:主要方式是票据贴现和票据质押。票据贴现是企业将未到期的票据转让给银行,并获得票据面值减去贴现利息后的资金;票据质押则是企业以票据作为抵押,向银行申请贷款。 3、适用条件不同: 应收账款融资:适用于持有大量应收账款、且客户信誉较高的企业,尤其在赊销、分期付款的情况下,可通过应收账款融资获得流动资金。 票据融资:适用于持有票据的企业,尤其是持有银行承兑汇票等信用较高的票据,能迅速通过贴现或质押获取短期资金。 4、融资风险和成本: 应收账款融资:融资风险较高,因为应收账款存在坏账的可能性,银行会对买方资信情况进行严格评估。融资成本取决于应收账款的质量及买方的信用状况。
