Australia’s first Business to Business Credit Card

Octet Finance has launched Australia’s first Business to Business credit card which will provide both unsecured and accelerated working capital finance for SME’s in both their purchasing and sales cycles.

This follows the successful launch in February 2008 of
Octet’s pioneering Business to Business credit card facility for
imports into Australia from China and Hong Kong. The major benefit of
the Octet Trading Card is that it enables Australian businesses to fund
growth without putting up personal or business assets as collateral.

Similar to a consumer credit card but with a much higher facility
limit, The Octet Trading Card will allow businesses to reduce the
critical timing gap between their cash outflow from purchases and cash
inflow from sales.

“The Octet Trading Card dynamically assists businesses to accelerate
their cash flow”, says Clive Isenberg, Octet’s Managing Director. “This
is a fresh approach to providing finance for Australian businesses. It
is unique in that it allows SME’s to both rapidly collect money that is
owed to them by their customers / buyers and provides them more time to
pay their suppliers / sellers. The Trading Card will allow small
businesses in this country to reduce their working capital cycle, which
is often the fault line for many growing businesses, especially in
their establishment phase.”

Clive Isenberg says, “The past twelve months have been difficult for
SME’s in Australia. The global economic climate has made credit scarce.
This has adversely affected opportunities for SME growth. What we are
offering with the Octet Trading Card for Business is a unique financing
solution for SME’s that are trying to grow in this environment. They
