Go Beyond the Basics with Trade Finance

Fuel your supply chain with flexible funding to pay suppliers upfront – so you can grow without waiting on customer payments.
Pay suppliers upfront

Pay local and international suppliers upfront - without straining cash flow

Trade finance gives you fast access to working capital so you can pay suppliers before goods arrive. Secure bulk deals, negotiate better terms, and never miss a delivery deadline again – even if you haven’t been paid by your customers yet.
We import stock every quarter and used to stretch ourselves thin with upfront payments. Funding Loop gave us the capital to pay suppliers early without touching our reserves. It helped us negotiate better pricing and scale more confidently.

Scales with your business

Your funding limit grows with your supply chain

Unlike fixed-term loans, trade finance scales with your business. As your order volume increases or supplier needs change, you can access more capital-on demand. No need to reapply or renegotiate each time.
We doubled our order volume in under 6 months. Thanks to Funding Loop’s flexible trade finance facility, we didn’t have to worry about reapplying or being capped. It grew with us.

Get funded without putting your house or business assets on the line

Trade finance is secured against your transactions not your personal or commercial property. That means faster approvals and peace of mind knowing your funding doesn’t risk your most important assets.
Our bank wanted property as collateral, which just wasn’t an option. Funding Loop offered us a trade finance facility based on our orders alone. It’s exactly what we needed to move forward safely.

Share your trade details

Tell us what you’re purchasing, who the supplier is (domestic or overseas), and how much funding you need. We’ll collect your recent bank statements, purchase orders or supplier invoices, and basic financials if required.

2

Quick assessment & lender match

We’ll assess your documentation and confirm eligibility with relevant lenders. If the lender needs more info, we may request ID, financials, or supplier verification. You’ll receive offers with repayment terms (up to 120 days).

3

Approval & supplier payment

Once approved, funds are paid directly to your supplier in AUD or foreign currency. You repay the facility in line with the agreed terms. No funds are released to you-trade finance is strictly for supplier payment.

Frequently asked questions​

What is Trade Finance and how does it work?
Trade Finance is a short-term funding solution that helps businesses pay suppliers upfront-either locally or overseas – while giving them extended terms (up to 120 days) to repay. The lender pays the supplier directly, and you repay the lender after goods are received or sold.
Yes. Trade Finance works for both domestic and international transactions. It’s especially useful for importing goods from overseas suppliers who require upfront payment.
Repayment terms are typically up to 120 days from the invoice or shipment date. This gives you time to sell the goods and generate revenue before repaying the lender.
Most Trade Finance facilities available through Funding Loop do not require property security. A director guarantee is usually sufficient, making it a lower – risk option for business owners. However, in some cases, property security may be required depending on the lender and deal size.
