Finance for International Trade Ltd. is an independent advisor and arranger of trade and export finance solutions for companies trading internationally.
Working with a broad network of banks, insurance underwriters, specialist finance funds, export credit agencies and other non-bank financial institutions, we arrange and structure trade and export finance facilities to support international trade worldwide. The company focusses on providing bespoke solutions rather than off the shelf products and is able to arrange facilities that are not available from conventional banking/financing sources.
We have an extensive client base of exporting companies engaged in manufacturing, engineering, construction, procurement, project management and commodity trading.
The company is seen by our clients as a “go-to” solutions provider when difficult payment terms, trade with higher risk emerging markets or long term export credits are involved and present obstacles to business going ahead. Our extensive network of banks, insurers and specialist non-bank financial institutions worldwide enables us to arrange the solution to fit the specific financing or payment protection need. Clients often come to us for assistance when their house banks and insurers have been unable to help them.
The company is privately owned and registered in England. We are based south of London, working mostly with UK and European exporters, but also have clients in the US, the Middle East and the Far East.
