Trade Finance UK – Flexible Funding for Importers & Exporters
Secure working capital for international trade with fast, tailored funding solutions.
Importing and exporting comes with long delays, currency exposure, and high upfront costs. With UK trade finance, you can cover purchase orders, supplier payments, VAT, and shipping — without tying up your cash flow.
At Go-Factor, we connect UK businesses with FCA-authorised trade finance providers who fund every stage of the trade cycle—from pre-shipment to final invoice collection.


What Is Trade Finance?
Trade finance is a short-term funding solution designed for companies buying and selling goods internationally. It bridges the cash flow gap between placing an order and receiving customer payment.
Common trade finance tools include:
-
Letters of Credit – Secure supplier payment terms
-
Purchase Order Funding – Pay suppliers before dispatch
-
Duty, Freight & VAT Finance – Cover logistics & compliance
-
Export Finance – Release cash from international sales
With funding in over 60 currencies and same-day decisioning, UK businesses can trade globally without interruption.
Trade Finance + Invoice Finance = Full-Cycle Funding
To fund the entire trade cycle, many businesses use both:
-
Trade Finance – Pays your supplier at the front-end
-
Invoice Finance – Unlocks cash from your customer invoice at the back-end
-
Combined – You trade confidently without waiting 30–90 days to get paid
This approach is ideal for seasonal industries, high-growth exporters, and businesses scaling global operations.
