Smart Fact : Turn future receivables into immediate funds using factoring
There will never be 100% certainty in commercial life. Risks lie in wait wherever opportunities are on offer. However, even if certain risks cannot be completely excluded, they can certainly be minimized to a large extent. Not least, such risks include late or even entirely missing payments from customers at home and abroad. Such a circumstance can cause liquidity bottlenecks for many small and medium-sized German trading, production and servicing enterprises, if they themselves expend money and deliver the goods, produce or provide their service - but then are not recompensed for this adequately or within a tolerable timeframe.
In such cases, assistance can be provided by means of the sale of receivables through factoring. The basic idea is that your company receives cash immediately with the factoring and accepts a specific clear deduction in return, which is paid out again when the buyer subsequently settles the debt. This ensures that companies remain solvent at all times, can use their income to finance new business, protect their balance sheets, and save themselves some bridging loans. In the shape of “Smart Fact,” Hamburg Commercial Bank can offer its customers a particularly sophisticated product. It can be used for all individual receivables or receivables pools with a volume in excess of ten million euros or U.S. dollars.. Browser-based management enables extremely convenient handling for customers.
“Factoring works well for many companies and in different contexts.’ The ideal instrument to keep working capital flowing and to create liquidity both in crises an in growth phase.”
Jan Schubert,Head of Factoring / Leasing at Hamburg Commercial Bank
Leasing: Smart financing with the aid of Hamburg Commercial Bank
Protecting the balance sheet, optimizing financing: These have been among the unbeatable benefits of leasing for many years. Hamburg Commercial Bank is an active participant in this market, supporting its small and medium-sized clients. Through its “Smart Lease Platform” in Luxembourg, HCOB establishes and refinances leasing portfolios on behalf of its clients with a basic ticket size between ten and 50 million euros. The underlying lease agreements have a term of up to 72 months, so that next to e-bikes and bicycles other leased items can also be financed.
“Lease or rent instead of buying – this is the ultimately convincing basic idea behind leasing. We offer our clients this modern financing option in a wide variety of guises.”
Andreas Tschirpke, Relationship Manager Leasing / Factoring at Hamburg Commercial Bank
