New York, NY – September 9, 2006 – David DiPiero, Chairman and CEO of FGI Finance (www.fgifinance.com), discusses with the ABF Journal everything that lenders should look for when seeking an international receivables financing partner.
Successfully expanding a business abroad means addressing a whole new set of operational and financial concerns, including extending more competitive payment terms to clients, accepting multiple currencies and minimizing credit and political risk, just to name a few. As a result, these businesses are searching for commercial finance companies that they can trust to partner with them.
According to DiPiero, a good international receivable financing partner, should have the capabilities to finance in all countries, finance and accept payment in different countries, provide credit protection to minimize risk, provide additional services (i.e. credit evaluation, underwriting potential risks in foreign markets, etc.) as well as be accessible and responsive.
