Trade Finance


Trade finance is generally taken to mean anything to do with the financing of international trade. This can include insurance, banking, investments, etc, as well as finance itself.

Maybe this makes you think it's all about big business, multi-million dollar contracts, big corporations, etc. Increasingly, though, more and more international trade is being done by smaller businesses, often micro businesses, such as individuals running a business from their PC at home.
