We’re in an economic period where businesses need all the help they can get. No matter what sector you’re in, if you’re making regular overseas payments to producers, suppliers, agents or to maintain an office outside the UK, you need to make sure that you’re getting the best possible exchange rates and that your money is securely transferred.

Making Overseas Payments Count

The past few years have been tough on businesses who need to send money overseas, particularly to the Euro zone or to countries who deal in US dollars. The weakening of sterling may be good news for British exporters, but if you’re making mortgage payments on commercial property, paying salaries or meeting the cash requirements of key suppliers, your business is likely to have seen those costs rise over the past 18-24 months. When times are tough, it makes sense to look at every possible way of bringing your costs down and keeping your margins healthy, and it can be surprising what a difference a change in exchange rates can make to ongoing overseas payment commitments. Using an independent broker to ensure that you get really competitive rates could help you to save money in the long term, whilst meeting the needs of the people who are relying on you.

Setting up Overseas Payments

Whilst some businesses are looking for ways to minimise the effect of exchange rates on their payments outside the UK, others may just be putting these payments in place. In order to expand your business, it may be necessary to set up an office in a key market, or use local suppliers, and for these purposes as well as others, you’ll need to set up overseas payments that fund this growth. Getting the best exchange rates from the start will help you to ensure that you get the best value from your overseas investments.
