OXFORD EXPANDS INTO EXPORT FUNDING
Australia’s
most innovative debtor financing specialist has become the new force
in the country’s export trading with the release of its new
product that is set to create new standards in this vital sector
of the economy.
Oxford
Funding says the new product called Export Debtor Finance is mainly
targeted at Australian-based businesses with an annual export turnover
of above $250,000.
Export
Debtor Finance provides a flexible line of credit linked to the
level of overseas accounts receivable, as well as enabling a business
to outsource its overseas receivables administration.
The
funding line buys an exporter's present and future debts and pays
80 percent of that export debtors ledger within 24 hours. It provides
improved cash flow to enable an exporter to better run the business
and obtain better credit control.
As
a member of Factors Chain International, Oxford has access to a
network of over 90 financial institutions in over 40 countries.
In addition to instant cash flow, these correspondents provide the
following additional features:
-
Conduct collection activity in the country the debtor is located
- Provide
credit protection as a real alternative to debtor insurance.
"The
release is in response to many calls we’ve had from a range
of businesses.’ says Oxford Funding’s Rob Lamers. ‘In
particular wine producers who are now exporting to meet the summer
season in Europe.
"It’s
a case of not waiting for goods to travel six weeks on a boat and
then another 30 days to get paid. 24 hours after the goods are on
the ship, there is access to the funds.
"This
is a perfect move for us as we're already very active among importers
and to offer this new facility will be well received.
"Among
the many points of advantage that Export Debtor Finance has is a
100 percent credit guarantee insurance cover which is unique in
this industry.
"It
is a well timed strategic expansion for us as export factoring is
a perfect fit within Bendigo Bank's range of trade finance products.’
Lamers said.
Part
of the new business move is Oxford Funding becoming a member of
Factors Chain International. This 40 year old organisation is based
in Amsterdam and is active in over 40 countries. It is the world’s
largest body of global factoring & discounting institutions
which has built the world¹s largest network of factoring companies
and is the acknowledged global authority on export factoring and
the role it plays in international trade. Oxford Funding is only
the second business in Australia to become a member.
