There are several working capital solutions that multinational companies can consider based on their debtor exposure, or the amount of money they are owed by their customers. These solutions can help multinational companies manage their cash flow and meet their short-term financial obligations.
- Invoice financing: If a multinational company has a large number of outstanding invoices, it can consider invoice financing. This involves selling the invoices to a third party at a discounted rate in exchange for immediate payment. This can provide the company with quick access to cash and help improve its cash flow.
- Factoring: Similar to invoice financing, factoring involves selling accounts receivable to a third party at a discounted rate in exchange for immediate payment. This can be a useful solution for multinational companies with a large debtor exposure.
- Lines of credit: A multinational company with a high debtor exposure may also consider applying for a line of credit from a bank or other financial institution. A line of credit allows a business to borrow money up to a certain limit as needed and make regular payments to repay the borrowed amount.
- Short-term loans: Multinational companies with a high debtor exposure can also consider taking out a short-term loan to meet their working capital needs. These loans are usually for a period of one year or less and have relatively lower interest rates compared to long-term loans.
It's important for multinational companies to carefully evaluate their options and choose the solution that best fits their needs and financial situation. It may be helpful to consult with a financial advisor or accountant to determine the best course of action.
