A letter of credit allows UK-registered businesses to import goods with confidence. Lenders assess the business’s trading history and supplier relationships before approval, advancing amounts from £10,000 up to £500,000. The terms can reach up to 18 months, with typical monthly rates between 1% and 3%. Once supplier delivery is confirmed, payment is guaranteed. This solution works especially well where large or complex supply contracts are involved.

Under invoice finance, a provider advances up to 90% of the value of your issued invoices, collecting repayment once customers settle their bills. Available to firms with annual turnover above £250,000, this facility offers flexible terms and decision times from two to seven days. Monthly rates typically range 1% to 3% above base, supporting ongoing operations for sectors like logistics and manufacturing.

With supply chain finance, a funder pays your suppliers quickly, while your business repays the finance provider at an arranged date. Funding typically runs from £50,000 to £2 million, for terms of 30 to 120 days. Monthly finance costs run from 0.5% to 3% of the invoice value, making this solution effective for industries like retail or automotive with heavy supply dependencies.
