Every US business that discovers it’s products have appeal beyond our borders must take advantage of that market opportunity.

When it does so, it will learn quickly that foreign customers expect to be given open account credit on terms of up to 90 days.

When this happens, working capital challenges loom because most lenders refuse to consider foreign receivables as eligible for funding.

Why is this so? ... Don’t ask Accord because we don’t know. At Accord, our philosophy is every foreign receivable should be analyzed to find a way to make it eligible for financing.

In today’s highly competitive markets, expanding sales beyond the United States may be one of the elements needed to accelerate growth and profits. Accord is committed to helping our clients capitalize on every opportunity to succeed.

We start by using our own good judgment of the credit worthiness of the overseas customer.

Sometimes we employ the skilled resources of our overseas network of affiliates. Operating in 96 countries, they possess the resources to understand the credit worthiness of local importers.

In addition, we employ the resources of several US Government export programs.
