Getting it home

Many businesses find that importing requires greater financial flexibility and reserves than buying from a UK supplier. Rather than buying on credit, you often need to commit finance well in advance of taking delivery.

Negotiating the right agreement with your supplier can minimise the cost and effort involved.

  • Terms of delivery.
  • Payment methods and financing options.
  • Handling duty and VAT.
  • Making payment.
