Supply Chain & Trade Funding
- Feb 10
- 1 min read
Supply chains and trade flows can place significant demands on working capital.
Funding requirements often arise around the purchase of materials, inventory or goods, particularly where suppliers require payment ahead of receipt, or where trade involves overseas counterparties.
Jardine Norton structures short-to-medium term funding solutions to support businesses operating across supply chains and trade environments, where timing, complexity and jurisdictional considerations are key.
Who is this for?
This type of funding is typically utilised by businesses that:
Operate complex or multi-stage supply chains
Trade domestically or internationally
Manage inventory or materials with long cash conversion cycles
Require funding ahead of customer receipts
Need structures that reflect underlying trade flows rather than standard lending products
Each facility is structured on its own merits, aligned to the specific dynamics of the trade or supply chain involved.
Typical situations
We regularly support businesses facing situations such as:
Funding the purchase of raw materials or finished goods
Managing inventory ahead of sale or distribution
Import and export transactions involving overseas suppliers or customers
Extended settlement timelines across international trade
One-off or repeat trade-linked funding requirements
These situations often require a structured, pragmatic approach that takes account of the commercial realities of the trade.
How Jardine Norton supports
Our approach focuses on structuring funding around identifiable trade and supply-chain activity. Facilities are typically:
Short-to-medium term in nature
Aligned to specific trade or inventory cycles
Structured to reflect counterparties and jurisdictions involved
Designed to support discrete transactions or ongoing trade flows
Each transaction is considered individually and structured accordingly.
