Upfront Trade Credit Deal

Global basis

Client:

Leading product garden manufacturer

Issue:

A manufacturer wished to identify and tackle a large inventory issue in North America. However, the value of Trade Credits they wanted in return for the inventory was bigger than their North American marketing spend.

Solution:

Active was able to buy and sell the inventory in return for a multi-million pound value in Trade Credits. The Trade Credits were then spent across North America and the UK, France and Germany.

Benefit:

Over the last three years, Active has purchased inventory in North America and spent Trade Credits in the UK, France and Germany.

This deal could work for you if you:

  • Have an inventory issue in one country and an advertising spend in others
  • Are a multinational manufacturer with a significant global marketing spend
  • Are a decision-maker at a corporate headquarters
