Export Financing

When it comes to foreign trade and export financing today's entrepreneur is seeking a seamless transaction construct that allows the company to continue to make inroads in foreign markets.  The silver lining in the U.S. dollar's downward spiral has been to create a competitive advantage for U.S. products in European markets, Asian markets, Mid-East markets and markets throughout North American and South America.  

The entrepreneur's job is to identify these opportunities to sell products in foreign markets and leverage out the key risk elements in the transaction which are:

• Payment Risk.  The risk the company will not be able to collect on the sales made as a result of non-payment or delay in payment due to the Byzantine export/import controls the foreign country may employ to protect their own markets from foreign competition.  Export financing program services takes the risk out of the equation for the exporter and provides a cash flow financing solution designed to allow the exporter to focus on marketing the business and thereby continue to grow their company.

• Currency Risk.  What is the specified form of payment?  What is the exchange rate to convert to dollars, euros, pesos or some other currency of your choice?  Does the exchange rate on that given day represent a collection risk you can neither afford to take nor manage to to your benefit?  Export financing is more than just a factoring transaction; the entirety of the product pipeline must be supported for the benefit of the client.  

• Regulatory Risk.  The risk that import duties and/or prohibitions will result in products already in the shipment pipeline of landing "dead on arrival" at the dock/port facility overseas.  This is the absolute worst case scenario being played out.  Rainmaker works with export specialists who understand export financing and the risks companies face when they are doing business upon foreign shores.
