Vendor Finance

Vendor Finance Programmes and Support

In 1993, ASF diversified its activities to include the establishment of a specialised Vendor Finance arm – applying corporate and institutional funding techniques to develop undisclosed “White label” or “Private label” non-recourse captive finance programs for local and international manufacturers and distributors of large ticket plant and equipment.

Many programs presently managed by ASF on an undisclosed basis have been in place since the early 1990’s.

Each program is tailored to meet the Vendors specific needs including the assumption of all credit processing, National Privacy and AML compliance. Programmes are structured to mitigate any funding, credit or asset risk to our vendor relationships while supporting their incremental sales opportunities.

ASF’s roles have encompassed competitor research; customer profiling; finance program establishment and underwriting; systems establishment; sales staff training; program marketing and advertising together with ongoing management and review.

ASF’s capabilities have also extended to supporting vendor sales opportunities to domestic customers operating in foreign countries including Africa, Asia, Europe and the Asia Pacific region utilising Export credit Agencies in the vendors manufacturing country of origin and additional credit and political risk mitigation techniques.
