Tradewind Provides $3.6 Million Credit Facility for Household Items Trading Company Based in Hong Kong

HONG KONG,Jan. 28,2019 -- Tradewind has announced the closing of a $3.6 million export factoring facility for a household items trading company based in Hong Kong. The company sells to such renowned retailers as Nordstrom,Five Below,and Urban Outfitters in the US and Canada and has an annual sales turnover of USD8-10M. It is using Tradewind's bespoke facility to support its working capital needs as it operates within the fast-growth nature of the industry and takes on large volumes of orders from its buyers,especially during periods of high seasonal demand.

Households products is one of the many industries Tradewind's funds supported.

Before working with Tradewind,the trader struggled to pursue the business growth it desired. The banks it had partnered with for funding had reduced their lending facilities due to the trader's limited assets and equity. Furthermore,typical banks were conservative in offering the company an unsecured line to finance its large orders,not to mention the process from the initial bank loan application to final funding was too long. Instead,the company needed an expedited cash flow solution to meet the spike in seasonal orders as well as support its fast-growth trajectory. Tradewind came in and factored the company's accounts receivable,converting them into immediate cash and improving the company's cash flow position.
