Stock and Trade Finance

Stock Finance

Stock Finance allows businesses to release cash tied up in inventory, helping fund the purchase of stock without placing pressure on working capital. Rather than paying suppliers upfront, a lender funds the stock, enabling you to maintain healthy cash flow while meeting customer demand.

Facilities can be structured to support ongoing stock purchases, seasonal increases, or large orders. As independent commercial finance brokers, we work with specialist lenders to arrange Stock Finance solutions tailored to your trading cycle, supplier terms, and stock profile.

Trade Finance

Trade Finance provides businesses with the funding and support needed to import, export, or trade goods domestically and internationally. It helps bridge the gap between paying suppliers and receiving payment from customers, ensuring cash flow isn’t restricted by long supply chains or complex trading terms.

Trade Finance solutions can support single transactions or ongoing trading relationships and are often structured around purchase orders, supplier invoices, or confirmed sales contracts. As independent commercial finance brokers, we work with specialist trade finance providers to arrange tailored facilities that align with your supply chain, trading cycle, and risk profile.
