Financing
Having adequate financial resources, and knowing how and when to deal with financial risk, are fundamental to achieving a sustainable international business operation. The good news is that there are a number of banks that will provide financing, typically in the form of: Direct loans, Co-financing with local and/or foreign lending agencies, Lines of Credit, Equity participation and Loan guarantees. These institutions also handle payment related issues. View financing institutions.
Insurance
It's always prudent to secure protection against the transit- and payment-related risks inherent in international trade transactions. For example you will need cover against the risk of non-payment attributable to the insolvency or protracted default of your buyer, or, alternatively, politically-inspired upheavals.
