Forfaiting

BEST FOR:

Higher-value or longer-tenor transactions where deferred payment terms form part of the commercial agreement.

Monetising Deferred Payment Receivables

International trade involving capital goods, commodities and project exports frequently requires exporters to extend deferred payment terms to overseas buyers. While these arrangements support commercial growth, they may also delay the conversion of receivables into working capital.

SPEC Finance’s Forfaiting solutions enable exporters to monetise eligible deferred payment obligations, improving liquidity while allowing businesses to focus on future opportunities rather than outstanding collections.

By converting future receivables into immediate liquidity, businesses can improve cash flow, strengthen balance sheet flexibility and reinvest capital into new trading opportunities.
