2INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND FINANCE
Conclusion:
From the whole case study, it can be concluded that, every international trade and
transactions are subject to exchange rate fluctuation risks as it involves various foreign
currencies. The fund is also a constraint for the exporters as most of the exports are on a delayed
payment basis. However, financed can be raised in various ways for meeting the short term and
long-term needs of the company. Lastly, the Latest Fashion Company should form such a
strategy, which will meet their capital needs with lower degree foreign exchange fluctuation
risks.
Recommendation:
There are various options available to the company to raise fund for their working capital
and long term capital to finance the machinery purchase. As it can be noticed from the case
study, they can go for either the bank finance or factoring or forfeiting agreements to raise
capital. They need to consider the best alternative for such a capital requirements. The bank’s
offers and terms and conditions are favourable for the company, but they do not assume anny
counter party risks in the whole process. On the other hand, the Factoring agent is also offering
finance with favourable terms and conditions in addition they are assuming the counter party
default risks. They are also taking the responsibility of collecting the receivables from the
customers. After analysing both the options, it can be suggested that the company should go for
the factoring agreement to raise the finance for their short term and long-term requirements.
They should select the factoring with resource option, because it will assume the full buyer’s
default risk.
