Tradewind Finance Provides Export Factoring Facility for Electronics Trader in Hong Kong

Tradewind Finance is pleased to confirm the closing of a USD 700,000 export factoring facility for an electronics trader based in Hong Kong, a key trading hub for electronics products in Asia-Pac. This financial partnership enabled the company to receive immediate cash for its outstanding accounts receivable, while also maintaining strong relationships with both suppliers and buyers.

Major export markets for Hong Kong’s electronics exports include mainland China, the EU, the ASEAN, and the US, according to Hong Kong Trade Development Council. Mainland China is also the major source of Hong Kong’s electronic products trade.

The company originally focused on software development, and has successfully supplied electronic products to customers in the US for many years. With high-quality products sourced from mainland China, the trader has received various recognitions and is greatly welcomed by the US market. Its diverse buyer portfolio includes numerous distributors that operate on a large scale, making it a well-respected player in the market.

However, the company’s growth has been limited by its tied-up cash flow in its accounts receivables. Adequate working capital became an urgent need for the fast-growing exporter, which has been financed mainly through internal resources.

With tailor-made trade finance solutions, composed of an export factoring facility of USD 700,000, trade credit insurance, and account receivable management provided by Tradewind, the company obtained the necessary working capital to support its continued success, including taking on more orders with payment terms of 90 days open account, growing its business, and increasing its revenue effectively.

“The scalable factoring facility is suitable for the company to achieve its goals and reach its full potential. It is expected that they will add more qualified buyers to the portfolio after the trial of our services. We look forward to a successful and sustainable partnership in the future,” said Dickson Au, Regional CEO – Far East, at Tradewind Hong Kong.

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。
