As global uncertainty grows, treasurers are actively seeking alternative funding options beyond traditional bank financing. Supply chain finance programmes, such as trade receivable finance, offer a powerful solution.
These programmes can provide a range of different benefits, such as enhancing cash flow, boosting liquidity, and helping treasurers manage credit and payment risks more effectively.
