International trade companies can use trade finance to pay suppliers across multiple markets before goods sell on, with funding decisions often reached in three to five days.
An international trade company runs several deals at once, often across different markets, currencies and suppliers. Goods are bought in one territory and sold in another, with money leaving for suppliers long before sales proceeds arrive. A letter of credit can give an overseas supplier the certainty to ship while the underlying purchase is funded, so a deal keeps moving even when the counterparties have never traded together before.
Because the cash is committed across multiple contracts, a single large purchase can absorb the working capital the next deal needs. A facility settles the supplier at the point of order and repays as the goods are sold on, so a trading company can run several international contracts in parallel rather than financing them one at a time from its own balance sheet.
A trading company spreads its cash across contracts, suppliers and markets, and the gaps between paying and being paid stack up. The pressures recur across the book:
Tando keeps the relationship personal, so an international trade company works with one account manager who understands running deals across markets rather than a scoring platform. Decisions usually arrive within three to five days, sometimes within hours. Tando is NACFB accredited and funds through FCA-regulated lenders.
A trading company juggling several contracts could use a facility to fund the supplier payments as each deal is struck, then repay as the goods are sold on. Where purchasing runs continuously, a revolving credit facility can keep working capital available across the book rather than deal by deal.
Direct funding for the cost of goods based on a confirmed customer order.
A globally recognised guarantee of payment to your supplier upon verification of shipping documents.
Optimising cash flow by allowing you to pay suppliers early while extending your own payment terms.
Yes. A facility can pay suppliers across several markets at the point of order, so goods can be secured wherever they are sourced without the cost coming from your own cash. You repay as the goods are sold on. It lets a trading company run contracts in different territories at the same time rather than financing each one from its own balance sheet.
Yes. Where a buyer and seller have not traded before, a letter of credit gives the seller confidence by having the bank undertake payment against agreed documents. It sits alongside a trade finance facility, so a deal with a new overseas counterparty can proceed. Your account manager arranges the two together where a contract calls for that level of certainty.
Yes. A facility can fund supplier payments across multiple contracts running in parallel, so one large purchase does not absorb the cash the next deal needs. You repay on each as the goods are sold on. For a trading company with a steady flow of contracts, this keeps several deals moving rather than forcing them to be financed one at a time.
Often, yes. Tando places international trade companies with bad credit or a bounced payment that other brokers avoid. The contract flow and trade history carry more weight than a single past problem. Lending partners are FCA-regulated and look at current trading, so an earlier difficulty does not automatically rule out a workable facility for the business.
Facilities usually run from 75,000 to 500,000 pounds, sized to your contract values and trade volumes. Firms turning over 200,000 pounds or more a year are the typical fit. Because contracts vary across markets, the right figure tends to track the value of the deals you are funding at any time rather than a single fixed cap.
Trading across markets means dealing in more than one currency, and rates can move between agreeing and settling a deal. A facility funds the purchase at the point of order, which helps lock in the buy while sales are arranged. Your account manager can explain how funding is structured around the currencies in your book, so it fits how you actually trade.
