Trading and sourcing

Built for businesses that sit between buyer and supplier.

Get paid by one side of the trade, pay the other and keep control of the money moving between them.

Get paid by buyers.

A trading company is usually paid by the principal or end buyer before, during or after shipment, depending on the terms agreed.

Receive USD into account details in your business name, with each payment recorded so you can match it to the trade it belongs to.

The other side of the same trade usually needs paying on its own schedule, sometimes as a deposit and a balance.

Pay suppliers and other businesses internationally from the same Helm account.

Sourcing businesses work with the same producers, inspectors, agents and freight providers across many orders.

Saved beneficiaries remove the need to re-enter payment details each time, which is also where errors usually happen.

Money received on one trade is frequently committed to the next before the first has closed.

Keeping funds available with Helm keeps that money usable between transactions.

A financing gap can arise when a supplier needs paying before the buyer settles.

Eligible businesses can access supplier finance, working capital and receivables finance with Helm.

Subject to eligibility, underwriting and credit approval.

Sitting between a buyer and a supplier means being asked, repeatedly, where the money is.

Transaction history and payment status give a direct answer, and team permissions control who can move money rather than only view it.
