Keeping your goods moving while managing cash flow

A partnership bringing customs expertise and flexible supplier finance together

 

Getting your goods through customs is only part of the challenge

When you import goods from overseas, the cost of getting them into your business doesn't stop with the customs declaration. You also need to pay your suppliers and logistics providers, pay any duties or VAT owed, and convert currencies.
All of these costs can put pressure on your cash flow, particularly when there’s a gap between paying for your goods and getting paid by your customers.

That's where extended payment terms could help

Giving your business longer to pay overseas suppliers could take some of the immediate pressure off your cash flow.
Instead of being limited to your supplier’s usual payment terms, eligible businesses could have up to 150 days to repay!
That means more time to sell your stock and more cash available for the other costs involved in importing.

Where EORI comes in

More time to pay your suppliers means more flexibility to manage the other costs that come with importing your goods. That’s where EORI comes in.
We handle the customs declaration and the expertise required to get your goods through customs, while extended payment terms can help you keep more cash available for the other costs involved in getting those goods into your business.
