Why combine financing & trade credit insurance (the decisive edge)
- Immediate leverage: insured receivables = higher advance rates (up to 90%) and optimised cost.
- Shorter DSO: cash at D+2 instead of D+45/90 → lighter working capital, shorter cash-to-cash cycle.
- Counterparty risk neutralised: client default indemnified, lower margin volatility.
- Banks reassured: better-rated assets, easier confirmed lines, covenants under control.
Result: available cash, greater investment capacity, zero dilution.
Our solutions, tuned to your working capital
1) Factoring / Invoice Finance (notified, confidential, export)
- Advance 70–90% per invoice, balance on collection.
- Non-recourse possible with credit insurance → risk transferred.
- Semantic variants: factoring, receivables finance, AR finance, customer-receivables financing.
2) ABL – Asset-Based Lending (AR + inventory)
- Dynamic borrowing base: 85% eligible AR + 40–60% eligible inventory − reserves (dilution, concentration).
- Ideal for industry/commerce with strong seasonality.
3) Revolving working-capital line & committed overdraft
- On-demand draws indexed to SARON + margin, without recurring paperwork.
4) Leasing & Sale-and-Leaseback
- Free up tied cash (machinery, vehicles, IT) without stopping production.
5) Bridge / Mezzanine / Unitranche
- Bridge a gap (acquisition, MBO, capex) without equity dilution.
6) Integrated trade credit insurance
- Limits per customer, continuous scoring, prevention & indemnification (domestic/export).
- Aligns insurer, factor and bank to maximise advances.
How it works (simple & fast)
- Rapid diagnostic (48–72h): AR ageing, top debtors, DSO, anti-assignment clauses, dilution rate.
- Clear term sheet: caps, advance rates by debtor, notified/confidential, with/without recourse, pricing.
- Implementation (5–10 days): assignment/novation, lockbox, ERP/API flows, connected credit-insurance policy.
- Run & scale: D+1/D+2 funding, dynamic caps, continuous cost/advance optimisation.
Use cases with numbers (concrete)
1) Immediate cash + neutralised risk
- Insured receivables: CHF 500,000 (60-day terms) → 85–90% advance = CHF 425–450k within 48h.
- Period cost (indicative): ≈ 1.6–2.4%.
- Impact: payroll & suppliers funded, bad debt covered, “perceived” DSO cut.
2) ABL to absorb a peak
- Eligible AR CHF 3.0M (× 85%) = 2.55M
- Eligible inventory CHF 1.2M (× 50%) = 0.6M
- Reserves 0.1M → Availability ≈ 3.05M
- Impact: raw materials + production financed without bank pressure.
3) Self-funding operation
- Assigned/month CHF 1.0M, average draw CHF 0.8M.
- 2% supplier discount at D+10 = CHF 20k.
- Cost 50 days at 5% + fees ≈ CHF 7.5k.
- Net gain ≈ CHF 12.5k/month while strengthening the supply chain.
What you gain (measurable, controllable)
- Liquidity: more immediate cash (AR advance, revolving line, ABL).
- Margin: fewer write-offs + more early-payment discounts.
- Governance: audit-ready reporting on DSO / dilution / concentration.
- Peace of mind: domestic + export cover, compliance audit-ready.
PrestaFlex, independent partner (CHF 100,000 to 60M)
- A single, results-driven point of contact.
- Access to banking & non-bank solutions often unavailable directly.
- Bespoke structuring: factoring, ABL, leasing, mezzanine, integrated trade credit insurance.
Take action: send your AR ageing + top-20 debtors.
You’ll receive a quantified simulation (advance rates by debtor, facility cap, estimated cost) and a rollout schedule to finance today what you’ll sell tomorrow.
