Tradewind Provides Credit Facility to Organic Health Food Producer in Peru

Tradewind has delivered a $2.8 million export factoring facility to a Peru-based company that prepares and sells organic health food products such as quinoa, dried goldenberries and mango, and cacao items to buyers in the USA, Europe, Canada, and Australia. The facility will be applied to help strengthen the company’s business in international markets.

The natural foods company has an office in Lima and operates a state-of-the-art processing plant in the northern Andes. With an office similarly located in Lima, Tradewind offered local support from its senior management in the region and structured a customized financing solution at competitive rates that provided immediate liquidity to the company. Additionally, the financial firm performed collections on the health food producer’s behalf and reduced risk for the company overseas by providing credit protection.

The facility will not only help the company capitalize on sales opportunities abroad, but it will also better enable them to support the local community at home, one of their priorities as a business. Among other benefits, the superfood seller offers on-time payment at Fair Trade prices, regular training, and additional financial assistance to the rural farmers who harvest the crops for their products.

 “We value companies like our client who are committed to giving back to the community they work in and feel strongly that our cash flow solution will set them up for a strong performance in international markets while helping them sustain their mission locally,” states Fabrizio Vásquez Curotto, Country Manager of Tradewind Peru. Curotto adds: “We pride ourselves on being flexible in our financing, and are pleased that our personalized services made the experience a positive one for our client.”

无追索权保理和有追索权保理的区别?外贸出口企业如何选择?

无追索权保理和有追索权保理是两种不同的保理融资方式,主要区别在于应收账款买方(债务人)不支付时,保理公司是否有权向企业(卖方)追讨未支付的款项。这两种保理方式在国际贸易中尤为重要,尤其是对于外贸企业来说,选择合适的保理方式可以有效管理资金流和风险。 1、风险承担方: 无追索权保理:保理公司承担买方(债务人)的信用风险。如果买方因破产或无力支付等原因未能偿还款项,保理公司无法向企业追偿损失。这意味着保理公司全权承担买方的信用风险。对于从事出口业务的企业来说,这种保理方式可以大大降低因买方违约而带来的风险。 有追索权保理:企业(卖方)承担最终风险。如果买方未能付款,保理公司有权要求企业偿还已融资的金额。也就是说,企业仍需承担买方不付款的风险。这种保理方式在国际贸易中较为常见,尤其适用于买方资信状况一般的情况。 2、融资成本: 无追索权保理:由于保理公司承担更大的风险,融资成本通常略高于有追索权保理。保理公司会根据买方信用状况设定相应的保理费或利率。 有追索权保理:融资成本相对较低,因为企业依然承担了买方不付款的风险,保理公司风险较小。 3、融资的预付款比例: 无追索权保理:因保理公司承担较大风险,预付款比率通常较低。 有追索权保理:考虑到保理公司承担的风险较小,一般而言,预付款比例更具灵活性。 4、适用对象: 无追索权保理:通常适用于资信较高的买方,因为保理公司需要承担较大的信用风险。对买方资信要求严格。
