Example

Harriet’s makeup company has been selling makeup in the UK for a couple of months and the brand is attracting more attention via social media. A reputable department store spots Harriet’s following, and places a 1,200-unit order.

As Harriet has only been selling 200-300 units a month, she doesn’t have enough cash in the business account to pay the supplier for the order. As the customer and the supplier are established businesses, Harriet can use a trade finance to bridge the gap. Harriet’s supplier is paid quickly, and the products are shipped quickly. Once the department store pays the trade finance company, Harriet will get the profits minus their fees. At Jones & Co we are innovators of alternative business finance, helping businesses secure trade finance solutions quickly and easily.
