Trade and receivables finance books; discounted offers for ITFA members

The ITFA Board is pleased to offer a 20% discount to all ITFA members on the following books (e-book and hardback versions) written specifically for the financial market by Stephen Jones, who has more than 40 years of experience in the trade finance market.

‘TheTrade and Receivables Finance Companion: A Collection of Case Studies and Solutions’. This new book applies the techniques described in Stephen’s first volume ‘Trade and Receivables Finance; a Practical Guide to Risk Evaluation and Structuring’, to an extensive range of international trade scenarios. Practical solutions are discussed and presented through a specially selected collection of 22 case studies.

The reader is taken on a journey from the structuring of trade products including collections, import and export letters of credit, back to back credits, guarantees and standby credits to fully and partially structured financing solutions for the importer, manufacturer, distributor, middle-party and exporter.

The case studies include the risk assessment and financing of open account payables, stock and receivables transactions and the evaluation and use of credit insurance as a supporting tool. The structuring of commodity finance across the trade cycle, to include warehousing, and call-off is described and how a trade and receivables finance solution can provide a compelling alternative to an overdraft.

Many of the chapters contain a summary ‘keynote’ overview and comprehensive ‘deal sheet’ extracts of the chosen solution detailing facility and operational requirements.

This book can be purchased from the publisher’s web site https://www.palgrave.com/gb/book/9783030251383.

‘Trade and Receivables Finance: A Practical Guide to Risk Evaluation and Structuring’.

The contents incorporate clause examples, specimen documents, financier checklists and diagrams. The book bears the endorsement of The London Institute of Banking and Finance.
