What we offer
Import & export factoring services

Import factoring

For import factoring, we provide credit protection with respect to a foreign supplier's US accounts receivable sold on open terms. We assume the financial ability of the buyer to pay on approved and undisputed receivables, and also service the accounts receivable by performing credit analysis, collections and bookkeeping.

Export factoring

We offer an export financing solution for US companies selling internationally. We work with you to establish credit lines for foreign buyers and can manage overseas collections, accounts receivable bookkeeping and reports upon request. This tailored solution allows you to increase export sales and reduce credit losses while maintaining cash flow and controlling expenses.
