01 · THE PRESSURE MAP

Where manufacturing exporters payments hurt.

The pressure is not only moving money. It is proving, timing, and reconciling the payment.

SUPPLIER TIMINGDeposits, balances, shipment release, production deadlines, supplier pressure.
FX EXPOSURECurrency movement, landed cost, supplier pricing, and margin impact.
DOCUMENT RISKInvoices, contracts, beneficiary questions, compliance review, trade evidence.
RECONCILIATIONFunds tied before release, short-paid wires, invoice matching, finance records.
02 · THE FOUR PROBLEMS

What we solve for manufacturing exporters.

01

Delayed supplier payment

Invoice on shipment, payment Net 30-60 (Europe), Net 60-90 (USA). Receive in EUR/USD, convert to GBP when favorable. A delayed payment collides with shipment release, production schedules, or a balance-payment deadline.

NET 30-60
02

FX margin leak

HIGH: Quote in customer currency, receive 30-90 days later. EUR and USD exposure. GBP strength = lower receipts. Forward contracts recommended. Landed cost is harder to defend when payment economics are unclear.

GBP
03

Document hold

Payments may pause when banks request commercial invoice (export), packing list, certificate of origin (for duty preferences), or other trade evidence before crediting the beneficiary. The goods are ready. The paperwork decides when they move.

04

Cash tied before release

Invoice-driven with 30-90 day collection cycles. Seasonal depends on product. Q4 consumer goods, Q1/Q4 industrial equipment. Working capital gap. Uncertain payment timing on top of that turns a planning problem into a liquidity one.
