What is trade finance?

Trade finance helps businesses fund purchases and manage the payment gap between suppliers and customers. For UK importers and exporters, it can help pay suppliers and fulfil customer orders before the money from those sales arrives.

Make your next order possible

  • Pay suppliers sooner: explore funding when a supplier wants payment before your customer pays.
  • Take on larger orders: fund goods for confirmed sales without tying up all your available cash.
  • Keep trading overseas: bridge the gap between buying, shipping and getting paid.

How trade finance can work

A typical supplier-funded order follows three steps:

  1. You secure the order. Your customer commits to buy, and you agree the supplier price and delivery dates.
  2. The facility funds the purchase. Once approved, the funder pays your supplier under the agreed arrangement.
  3. You deliver and get paid. Customer receipts repay the funding and agreed fees, leaving the balance for your business.

One conversation to get started

Tell us what you are buying, who you are selling to and when payment is due. A customer order and supplier quotation are useful starting points, but you can talk to us before gathering every document.

Go-Factor identifies suitable funders, compares costs and terms, and helps move your enquiry through to completion. You get a clear view of what may be available and what happens next.

Don’t flood the market with applications

Trade finance questions, answered

Can trade finance pay an overseas supplier?

Yes, suitable facilities can fund overseas supplier payments. Availability depends on the supplier, buyer, countries involved and the transaction. Go-Factor helps establish which funders can support it.

Can funding continue after the goods are delivered?

Yes, where suitable, export invoice finance can release cash from eligible unpaid overseas invoices. It can work alongside trade finance to support the journey from supplier payment to customer payment.

How much does trade finance cost?

Costs depend on the amount funded, how long it is needed and the transaction. Go-Factor compares the funding charges and other fees, so you can judge the overall cost against the profit in your order.
