Manufacturer of Laser Cutters in China Receives EUR 600,000 Export Factoring Facility from Tradewind Finance

A startup laser cutter manufacturer in Shandong, China has received an export factoring facility from Tradewind Finance worth EUR 600,000. The facility will be utilized by the company to support its exports to Europe and the United States.

Since transforming from a laser cutter trading company, the manufacturer has released a series of flagship products and attracted a significant number of overseas buyers. As a newly established business, this startup was dependent on secured bank loans and its own capital for operation. Despite maintaining stable financial results during the shock of COVID-19, the company faced challenges with working capital and bank financing. Due to its limited financial resources, advance wire payments became the only acceptable payment method, which gradually reduced the profitability of the company.

As a result of Tradewind’s reputation as a provider of alternative financing, the company sought to use Tradewind for a flexible financing solution. Using the EUR 600,000 funding provided by Tradewind, the manufacturer bridged its working capital shortfall and was able to take large-scale orders with 120-day payment terms.

According to Andy Zeng, Vice President of Sales at Tradewind China: “Unlike the traditional financing method, Tradewind’s factoring product mainly relies on the credit standing of the buyer. Tradewind’s customized service was instrumental in lowering the client’s trade risks and accelerating the cash flow cycle. We look forward to becoming its long-term financial partner to encourage even greater growth.”

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。
