Vendor Finance
Sales Financing Systematically in the Country of the End User
International accounting-standards cause significant difficulties in financing the sale of machinery and equipment from own resources or by means of take-back guarantees. In addition, compliance requirements for sales must be taken into consideration. Why not having a center in Germany that enables an end customer in Russia, France, Brazil or the Netherlands to finance in his own country? I am convinced that it makes sense from the international and economic aspect to strengthen the financing institutes in the buyers’ countries and thus stabilize the wealth of the importing country.
Export Financing Made Simple:
- When it comes to financing goods, the following simple general rule has applied for several years: invoices according to German law plus credit insurance limit for the customer in an OECD country plus terms of a maximum of 90 days = factorable standard receivables = immediate positive effect on the balance sheet by sale of open outstandings (factoring) = improvement of the exporter’s rating and increase in the value of the company.
- For end users, who want to buy a product that can only be invoiced after its take-over in the buyer’s country (down-payments excluded), customer loyalty can easily be achieved through providing the end user with the financing locally in his country.
- On this basis, the question raises how to manage supporting and advising the end user – always having in mind not to accept a lack of own liquidity and / or other negative effect on the balance sheet arising from financing sales.
