Your Questions Answered (virtual): De-risking international trade
International Trade tends to work in silos and this session is designed to highlight some of the risks and look at ways of mitigating or at least understanding the financial exposure for your business. It's a pocket checklist of all the issues facing a business when trading internationally.
On Thursday 15 March, from 1 - 2 pm, Brighton Chamber CEO, Sarah Springford will be joined by Lesley Batchelor OBE, CEO of International Trade Experts Ltd, which runs the Export Boot Camps series of workshops.
Topics this session with cover include:
• Demystifying some of the acronyms used internationally and explain why KYC (Know your customer) has become so important in terms of money laundering and getting paid.
• Setting up appropriate contracts and internationalising your T&Cs as part of protecting your transaction will lead towards agreeing the right terms of finance and funding your trade going forward.
• Examine some of the less well-known finance tools used in international trade
• Discuss the merits of FX bank accounts, single invoice financing and the new international escrows.
• Finally, a look at the impact of changes in compliance and regulation on international trade.
• You can send your questions in advance to Daisy and there will be a chance to submit your questions during the session.
