What’s the biggest financial headache you face as an Indian exporter?
I’ve been speaking with a lot of Indian exporters recently, and I’ve noticed that the biggest problems often start after the order is won.
Things like:
- How should I structure payment terms — LC, CAD, advance?
- Is my overseas buyer actually creditworthy?
- Can I get financing against this export invoice?
- What happens if the buyer pays after 90 days?
- Am I getting a good FX rate?
- How do I manage USD receivables?
A lot of this still seems to happen through bank RMs + emails + Excel + WhatsApp + consultants.
We’re building Trad to make the financial side of exporting simpler - especially around buyer risk, trade finance and treasury.
We’re already working with exporters and trade-finance partners, and have issued term sheets for export financing.
We’ve also built a free financing checker where you can enter your buyer and see whether factoring or LC discounting may be available for that market:
