# Cross-Border Financial Services Ltd

Cross-Border Financial Services Ltd is a specialist arranger of international trade and structured finance transactions based in London. The firm structures, arranges and syndicates complex financial transactions for commercial banks, multinational companies, manufacturers, exporters and financial institutions operating across emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

The company's core expertise centres on forfaiting—the discounting of trade receivables without recourse to exporters—enabling businesses to offer competitive credit terms to foreign buyers whilst preserving cash flow and eliminating payment default risks. Beyond forfaiting, CBFS provides comprehensive solutions including export and import finance, pre-export and post-shipment financing, cross-border lease arrangements, and project finance with or without export credit agency coverage.

What distinguishes CBFS is their deep specialisation in mitigating financial risks inherent to emerging market transactions, combined with their principals' extensive forfaiting credentials and international business experience. The firm goes beyond simple financing by offering collateral due diligence, cash flow modelling and stratification analytics for asset-backed securities, alongside political risk insurance for equity investors and financial institutions. Their working capital solutions include innovative off-balance-sheet structures and lines of credit for insured accounts receivable.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all products, CBFS tailors solutions to each client's unique circumstances, drawing on sophisticated knowledge of Islamic finance, lease securitisation and emerging market dynamics.
