… for problem-free
exporting …
Forfaiting, or all-in discounting, is an operation of discounting
(assignment) of cash-receivables from supplies with deferred payment.
It can be performed either without recourse to the exporter or
with recourse. The Italian exporter assigns its cash-receivables
to the bank and obtains immediate payment for its supply, reduced
by the amount of discount interest. Discounting without recourse
enables the exporter to cut out all risk of failure to pay as
well as any other possible risks, i.e. country risk.
(Full) example of forfaiting
… for selling without taking risks
…
Forfaiting: an example
The Slovenian
company asks the Italian company to pay 4 months after supply
of goods. The Italian exporter contacts NLB.
Italian company: Manufacturer of durable consumer goods,
with various potential B2B buyers in Slovenia who ask for deferred
payment beyond the usual 30 days.
Slovenian company: Private limited company (d.o.o.) with
a positive rating from the bank; it purchases only if payment
can be extended/deferred to 4 months.
NLB examines the extension request made to the Italian company
and agrees to discount the cash receivables to the Slovenian purchaser
(the Slovenian counterpart's debt).
