Tradewind has announced that it has provided a $500,000 non-recourse export factoring facility to a leading designer, manufacturer, and exporter of technical tubes and hoses based in Spain. The company, whose products are used in the industrial, agricultural, construction, and gardening sectors, sells domestically and exports to countries throughout Europe. It will apply proceeds from the facility to fund the working capital needs of its tubing business so it can maximize growth abroad.<\/p>\n
Although the company was equipped with the manufacturing capacity to increase production, its growth was stagnant because it did not have sufficient working capital to take advantage of opportunities with large foreign buyers who require extended payment terms.<\/p>\n
While the company had experienced decades of growth and success within Spain, it also offered a strategic advantage to European buyers who benefitted from a short supply chain. In order to capitalize on opportunities with customers outside of its country\u2019s borders and expand its footprint across Europe, the company needed a working capital solution to fulfill large orders and bridge the long lead times and in-transit periods that come with exporting. Where its local factoring company in Spain failed to offer competitive prices and posed restrictions and limitations on foreign accounts receivable, Tradewind, leveraging its international capabilities, was able to carve out the company\u2019s foreign AR while the tube producer\u2019s bank handled the domestic AR. Tradewind\u2019s non-recourse facility also provided credit protection in case any of the company\u2019s buyers defaulted on payment.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur client had all the right characteristics for high future growth except sufficient working capital. Tradewind\u2019s factoring, coupled with the PO financing that they received from a private investor, was the perfect solution for the client because it gave them the ability to take on orders and negotiate credit terms with large overseas buyers\u2014ultimately allowing more room for growth,\u201d states Brian Dowd, Vice President of Sales of Tradewind\u2019s New York office.<\/p>\n
