Tradewind Announces Credit Facility for Electronics Technology Company in Hong Kong

Tradewind has announced that it has provided a $2 million export factoring facility to an electronics technology company headquartered in Shenzhen. The company sells USB accessories, MP3 and MP4 players, and smartwatches to well-known brands in Europe, America, and Asia. Along with its headquarters and factories in Shenzhen, the company has also established a trading entity in Hong Kong.  

Traditionally cautious in its business dealings, the electronics company required buyers to pay 30% deposit after placing an order and settle the payment before delivery. Although this stringent payment condition allows companies to avoid potential trade risks, it also discourages many big buyers who demand credit. 

This year, one of the company’s major customers increased its order by 50% but at the same time requested open account terms of 30 days after shipment. While accepting this condition would have increased the company’s sales, it would have also put the company under financial pressure. In order to reduce the stress and better meet customer needs, the company decided to seek financing.

After weighing different options, the company chose Tradewind. Unlike traditional financing institutions that can only finance local companies, Tradewind, with its global network of offices, was able to adapt to the company’s unique needs and fund the Hong Kong entity directly. Tradewind’s competitive rates and ability to provide scalable funding that will grow with the company were also attractive. After Tradewind started to fund the company, the company was able to replenish its liquidity and close the funding gap quickly. In turn, it will increase production capacity, take on additional orders, and provide more buyers with credit sales.

“Tradewind is well-known for its global network and flexibility, and we are capable of supporting businesses of varying sizes around the world and structuring tailored solutions that fit their individual needs.  Because of these qualities, the client chose Tradewind as their trusted financing partner, and we are pleased   to help them reach their higher sales goals,” said Ms. Vicky NG, Business Development Officer at Tradewind HK who is leading the project.

The Tradewind Group 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 and affiliates 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.

出口信用保险融资是什么?包括哪些方面?

出口信用保险融资:是一种基于出口信用保险的融资方式,旨在帮助出口商改善现金流。出口信用保险主要用于为出口商提供保障,覆盖因买方的商业或政治风险(如破产、无力偿付债务、战争等)导致的未付款风险。在此基础上,出口信用保险融资通过将保单项下的权益转让给银行或金融机构,使出口商能够向后者申请融资,从而实现资金融通,优化现金流。 具体而言,出口信用保险融资包含以下几个关键点: 1、风险保障:出口信用保险为出口商提供了风险保障,保障了货款的安全性。 2、应收账款质押融资:通过信用保险保障,出口商可以将已购买出口保险的应收账款质押给银行或金融机构,从而获得一定比例的融资。 3、提高现金流:出口信用保险融资可以使出口商在海外买家付款之前,即获得部分或全部货款,从而增强企业的流动资金。 4、提高市场竞争力:出口商在提供信用销售时,可以通过出口信用保险降低回款风险,增强其与国际客户的合作信心,同时银行和金融机构也因保险的保障而乐于提供融资支持。 总之,出口信用保险融资可以有效降低出口商的风险,优化资金周转,为企业提供更灵活的融资手段,提高国际市场竞争力。 关于出口信用保险融资和其他国际贸易融资方式,有以下几方面需要注意: 1、出口信用保险:出口信用保险是一种专门针对出口商的保险,为出口商提供应收账款收汇风险保障。在国外买家无法支付货款时的损失风险。它可以覆盖因为政治风险(如战争)和商业风险(如买方破产或无力偿还债务)导致的损失。出口信用保险增强了出口商的风险保障,使其更具竞争力。 2、出口信用保险下的应收账款融资:出口商在获得出口信用保险后,可以将保单项下的应收账款权益和保险权益作为抵押,向银行或其他金融机构申请融资。这种方式使出口商可以提前获得货款,从而提高现金流,减少资金压力。 3、打包贷款:打包贷款是指银行在出口商签订出口合同后,将出口商收到的信用证下的预期收汇款项作为还款来源,向出口商提供的短期融资。此类贷款帮助出口商解决在生产、采购等备货过程中的资金需求。 4、保理业务:出口商可以将应收账款转让给国际保理公司,通过保理公司进行融资。国际保理公司将保障应收账款的安全性,同时向出口商提供资金融通。
