Part of the challenge for companies selling in international markets is ensuring that once they have got the order, they get paid and maximise the impact on their bottom line.

Invest NI’s "Export Finance Made Clear" workshops will offer export companies practical help and advice on dealing with all issues relating to finance.  During the morning, the panel of experts from Invest NI, Northern Bank, Ulster Bank and HSBC will provide advice, tips and common mistakes to avoid on areas such as:

• choosing the right payment options
• making your money work for you and using the best source of finance
• completing the required security checks
• getting the right credit rating

After listening to what the experts have to say, attendees will also get an opportunity to receive one-to-one advice from financial business advisors.
