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.

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。
