Trade Credit
Trade credit is a form of financing in which an exporter extends credit to the importer by allowing them to pay for goods after receiving them.

Factoring and Invoice Discounting
Factoring is a financial arrangement where an exporter sells their accounts receivable (invoices) to a factoring company at a discount.

Forfaiting is a form of trade finance where an exporter sells their long-term receivables (due to be paid in more than 90 days) to a forfaiter at a discount.
Supply Chain Financing
Supply chain financing, also known as reverse factoring, is a financial arrangement where a third-party financier pays the supplier on behalf of the buyer.
Bank Guarantees
