Understanding the Importance of Due Diligence in Trade Finance

Aug 02, 2023

Securing funding is critical for enterprises engaged in International Trade operations

 

Trade finance providers offer the cash and support required to process the transactions, allowing businesses to grow their activities and seize new opportunities in global markets.

 

However, these services must be conditioned to an extensive due diligence from the Trade Finance Providers.

 

Trade finance services include a variety of financial services and products aimed to facilitate International Trade Transactions.

 

Trade Finance providers (Banks, Fund…) play an important role in assisting businesses by handling the unique financial issues of cross border trade.

 

Due diligence is vital to avoid or minimize as much as possible potential future challenges during the life cycle of the transactions.

 

The assessment shall be oriented toward the following parameters:

 

-        Business Profile

-        Business Model

-        Corporate Governance

-        Collateral

-        Business process

 

Each one of these parameters should be deeply analysed to understand the risks and process a proper KYC/KYT.
