Trade loan

As an importer or exporter, who you are trading with will have a significant impact on your banking requirements.

At Barclays our first step is to work closely with you to understand your entire business trade cycle.

We will also help you analyse your working capital cycle to identify your potential funding gaps.

From traditional trade products to bespoke finance solutions we can assist your import and export activity and help fund growth of your international and domestic trading potential, while improving cash flow through the use of trade loans.

Trade loans can help by potentially reducing overall borrowing costs. It can help fund the gap between buying and selling of goods allowing you to accept shorter payment terms from suppliers.

Making funds available in sterling and most major tradable currencies and supporting UK-based companies with short term borrowing needs of between 30 and 364 days.
