Import Factoring

Get deliveries on time and stabilize your
supply chain

What is Import Factoring?

Through Import financing (Supply Chain Financing), CapoFin helps suppliers to get paid on time, ensuring buyers get their products delivered in full and on-schedule. This enables global businesses and supply chains to maintain cash flow and operate seamlessly.

This financing solution is ideal for both buyers and suppliers where buyers can get extended payment terms from the intermediary financier and suppliers get paid on time. This also enables buying and transporting of goods in bulk or large quantities.

Who needs Supply Chain Financing?

Businesses looking to stabilize their current supply chain model will immensely benefit from supply chain financing by freeing up their working capital.

Suppliers face a major problem when buyers delay their payments for weeks or even months in some cases. Besides this, there is always a risk of buyers not giving them full payment on maturity of the invoice. Suppliers can seek CapoFin’s advantage to get funds immediately upon shipment thereby benefiting from immediate cash flow and also eliminating risk of delayed payment or non-payment against their invoices.

CapoFin arranges trade finance from its lending partners (trade funds and FIs) to small and medium sized companies engaged in domestic or cross-border trade across the globe using technology and data analytics.
