Export Factoring Services in India for International Trade

Exporting goods or services to international buyers can open new growth opportunities for businesses. However, global trade also brings challenges such as delayed payments, foreign buyer credit risk, and complex collection processes.

Many exporters offer credit terms to overseas buyers in order to remain competitive in global markets. This often means waiting 60, 90, or even 120 days to receive payment after goods are shipped. During this period, working capital remains locked in invoices while exporters still need funds to manage production, logistics, and operational expenses.

Export factoring services help exporters convert international receivables into immediate working capital. Instead of waiting for overseas buyers to make payments, businesses can access funds quickly and focus on expanding their global trade operations.

SBI Factors provides reliable export factoring solutions that help Indian exporters improve cash flow, reduce credit risk, and simplify international receivable management.

How Export Factoring Works

Export factoring follows a structured process that helps exporters access working capital faster.

Step 1

The exporter ships goods or provides services to an overseas buyer and raises an invoice.

Step 2

The export invoice is assigned to SBI Factors for factoring.

Step 3

SBI Factors releases a large portion of the invoice value as immediate funding.

Step 4

The overseas buyer pays the invoice amount on the due date.

Step 5

The remaining balance is transferred to the exporter after deducting applicable charges.
