Credit Analysis & Risk Management

There is no way to sugarcoat it, international trade is fiercely competitive. The thrill of exploring new markets can quickly turn to dread when you realize that every opportunity comes with new risks: buyer insolvency, supplier credit reductions, and hungry competitors looking to undercut your terms. How can you take on all of these new risks without losing sight of your daily operations?

Anderson Trade Solutions is here to help you carry the burden of risk management, allowing you to get back to your day-to-day business. We begin by meeting with your team to discuss your company's risk appetite. We then research each buyer, or potential buyer, assigning risk ratings based on regional, industrial, and economic factors alongside the traditional "C's of credit". Using these ratings, we advise you on payment terms and risk mitigation strategies for each buyer.

What sets Anderson Trade Solutions apart? We believe that great risk management strategies should actually increase sales opportunities. Here are just a few examples of how we can do that:

-Having trouble closing with a cautious foreign buyer? Offer payment terms in their local currency, then see Anderson Trade Solutions about purchasing an options contract to hedge your foreign exchange risk.

-Is your competition offering 30 day, open account terms? Check with Anderson Trade Solutions, a licensed credit insurance broker, about insuring 60, 90, or 180 day receivables. Not only do you keep your buyers happy, but you protect yourself from the potential catastrophe of buyer insolvency.
