Trade finance refers to financial products and instruments used by companies to facilitate international trade and commerce, with the aim of reducing the risks associated with global trade. The parties involved in trade finance can include banks, trade finance companies, insurers, importers, exporters, export credit agencies, and service providers.
The main function of trade finance is to introduce a third-party to transactions to remove the payment risk and the supply risk. Trade finance provides different financial instruments, such as lending lines of credit, letters of credit, factoring, export credit or working capital, and insurance. It is an important tool for companies, not only to reduce risks but to improve efficiency and boost revenue
Trade finance can help your business by facilitating the growth of your business through managing cash and working capital, which are critical to the success of any business.
It can also bridge funding gaps for businesses and help them negotiate better terms with their suppliers, especially when it comes to export financing, which helps companies selling abroad to reassess outstanding invoices.
Moreover, trade finance facilitates domestic and international trade transactions by providing capital for import and export activities.
Advances in digital tools have simplified the process of trade finance and selecting the right funding provider is critical for successful growth.

Asset finance is a type of financing that allows businesses to acquire necessary equipment, such as machinery, vehicles, and aircraft, by using their existing assets as collateral to secure short-term funding.

Project finance is a funding structure for long-term infrastructure, industrial projects, and public services, which relies on the project’s cash flow for the repayment of debt and equity.
This financing structure often utilizes a non-recourse or limited recourse structure, and project debt is typically held in an off-balance sheet subsidiary.
Project financing involves significant risks during the construction phase, and revenue is generally under an offtake agreement or power purchase agreement.
Non-recourse financing gives lenders limited or no recourse to the project’s sponsors if the project company defaults, and shareholders are typically liable up to the extent of their shareholdings.
The government may use project financing to keep project debt off-balance-sheet and free up fiscal space.
