What are the benefits?

A Natwest Trade Loan is a tailored funding solution based on your working capital needs. A Trade Loan could help in many ways including: 

  • Funding supplier payments or stock purchases. 
  • Providing the required working capital required to import, export or trade within the UK.
  • Allow you to offer more attractive terms to your suppliers and customers

A Natwest Trade Loan could be more cost-effective and may provide higher amounts of working capital compared to some other funding methods.

Our team of qualified trade finance and working capital experts are ready to work with you. We'll take the time to understand your trade cycle and identify opportunities where a trade loan could help.

Trade Loans Explained

A Natwest Trade Loan could be used as a revolving facility supporting regular funding needs, including supplier payments or stock purchases, or to provide the working capital required to fund a specific contract.

 

We'll work closely with you to create a customised solution that fits your business, providing confidential financing that is kept separate to any other debt you may have.
