Debtor Finance can take a variety of forms. The following basic terminology is explained but other hybrid & specialist products exit:
Factoring – notice is given to your customers to make payment directly to the factoring company and the factoring company effectively manages your debtor book and credit control leaving you to run your business.

Foreign Trade – if you export all or some of your sales and/or you are importing, we can arrange finance to to cover these activities.
