In the intricate world of international trade, the movement of goods from one place to another is akin to the lifeblood of commerce. However, this essential flow of goods often comes with a substantial cost, as companies are required to cover freight expenses upfront. Enter Fluna Freight Financing, a dynamic financial solution that empowers businesses to keep their supply chains flowing without the burden of immediate payment.

At Fluna, we recognise the pivotal role that Freight Financing plays in sustaining supply chains and enabling international commerce to flourish. Our Freight Financing solution is tailored to address the unique needs of businesses, providing them with the financial flexibility required to keep their cargo moving without constraints. In this article, we will delve into the essence of Freight Financing, its practical applications, and how Fluna simplifies this critical aspect of global trade.

Why Freight Financing?

Financing for Low-Value, High-Cost Goods

Freight Financing proves exceptionally beneficial for commodities that are low in value but incur significant shipping expenses. It ensures that even lower-value goods can reach their intended destinations, allowing businesses to participate in various markets and maintain a competitive edge.

Overcoming CIF Payment Challenges‍

In international trade, some Purchase Orders come with Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) terms, which necessitate upfront payment for freight. Freight Financing seamlessly bridges this gap, providing the financial backing required to meet these obligations while still keeping businesses liquid.

Flexible Financing Structures

We understand that every trade cycle is unique, and sizing can vary greatly. Freight Financing offers flexible and adjustable financing structures that align with the specific needs of your business and trade cycles. No matter the size or complexity of your transactions, you can find the right financing solution for you.
