International trade can create a cash-flow gap between paying a supplier and receiving cash from the eventual sale of goods. TradeMore reviews qualifying import and trade transactions to identify structures that can support purchases, shipments and working-capital requirements.
The solution is built around the trade cycle rather than a one-size-fits-all product.
What This Solution Is
Import and trade finance can include documentary payment structures, purchase-related finance and other working-capital arrangements designed around a genuine movement of goods or commercial transaction. The appropriate solution depends on supplier terms, buyer profile, goods, countries, shipment timeline and repayment source.
Common Business Use Cases
Importers purchasing goods from overseas suppliers
Transactions where suppliers request documentary payment assurance
Businesses seeking to align supplier payment with inventory or customer cash collection
Qualifying purchase and shipment requirements
Cross-border trade requiring structured payment and working-capital support
How It Works
1. Share the supplier, buyer, goods, value, countries, payment terms and shipment timeline.
2. TradeMore reviews transaction economics, documentation, parties, compliance and repayment cycle.
3. An appropriate trade-finance structure is identified where eligible.
4. The process is coordinated through the relevant financial network after requirements are completed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is trade finance only for imports?
No. Trade finance can support both import and export transactions and different stages of the trade cycle.
Do I need an LC?
Not always. The appropriate solution depends on the supplier requirement and transaction structure.
Can trade finance preserve working capital?
It can help align cash outflows with the trade cycle in qualifying cases, but terms and availability vary.
What should an importer send first?
A proforma invoice or contract, supplier details, goods, value, countries, payment terms and required timeline are a strong starting point.
