Domestic Dynamics: Financial Leasing Helps Enterprises To Turn The Corner

Since the beginning of this year, the pressure of international market demand, RMB appreciation, huge fluctuation of raw material prices and cost increase has caused many textile enterprises to face unprecedented operational difficulties, and business profits have fallen sharply or even lost.

What is more serious is that due to tight monetary policy, bank loans are decreasing and interest rates are increasing. Some enterprises have been forced to raise private financing and mutual arrears due to their tight liquidity, resulting in a high loss of accounts receivable and bad debts, resulting in a vicious cycle.

In the face of severe situation, how should textile enterprises respond?

To cope with the shortage of funds, enterprises can take part in both internal and external efforts to achieve diversification of capital raising.

Internally, enterprises can use internal financing funds of employees, clear up and check the Treasury, revitalize funds, clear accounts receivable, strive for postponed installments to reduce the pressure of fund use, and absorb funds from pre-sale commodities.

However, the internal financing of employees is often limited and may be faced with certain policy risks. However, in the case of tight macroeconomic conditions, it is often impossible to clear up the Treasury and clean up accounts receivable.

Therefore, internal financing potential is limited.

External financing generally takes account of banks first. However, due to tight monetary policy, bank loans are not available.

In fact, in addition to bank loans, enterprises can also consider using financial leasing to revitalize liquidity and optimize asset structure.

Financial leasing, as a medium and long-term source of capital, does not need collateral guarantee. It has flexible installment plan, and truly achieves seamless docking between capital and equipment.

It has the special advantages of saving financial costs, optimizing the efficiency of capital use, improving financial stability and security.

As a new way of financing, financial leasing has made the financing channels of enterprises more diversified and has become the financing choice of more and more enterprises.

A textile company mainly produces polyester cotton yarn. This year, it invested 15 thousand yuan in compact spinning projects, with a total investment of around 45 million yuan, and got 30 million yuan in bank project loans and 15 million yuan in self financing.

At the same time, considering that cotton prices in October basically close to the bottom, to ensure the stability and cost reduction of next year's production, we intend to purchase cotton. However, due to the use of liquid funds for compact spinning projects, there is no money to buy cotton.

The company then worked with the leasing company to rent a portion of the equipment purchased by the leasing company for 15 million yuan. Because of the support from the leasing company, the original 15 million yuan fund used for the compact spinning project was withdrawn and used for the purchase of new cotton.

In this case, the company used the help of the leasing company to smoothly turn around the fund, raised the amount of new cotton purchase, provided reliable raw material guarantee for the next year's production, and at the same time, the purchase of cotton prices at the bottom also reduced the cost of the enterprise.

A textile company in Shijiazhuang mainly produces pure cotton yarn. Due to the continuous improvement of customer requirements, in order to improve product quality and reduce labor costs, the company decided to pform all existing winding machines into automatic winder.

However, due to the low quality of the existing yarn, poor sales, backlog of more inventory, enterprises have no funds to buy automatic winding equipment.

So the company and the leasing company cooperate with the leasing company to pay most of the amount of purchase equipment for the customer 10 million yuan.

With the support of the leasing company, the enterprise successfully procured new equipment, guaranteed product sales and successfully reduced labor costs.

In 2011, a certain dyed weaving enterprise in Jiangsu was affected by the market situation. It did not plan to make too much investment arrangements. But after contacting with the leasing company, it decided to use financial leasing to carry out some technical renovation and renewal of some equipment, and purchase some air-jet looms to reduce the cost.

With the support of the leasing company, the newly purchased equipment will soon be put into production, saving a lot of working capital and expanding the comparative advantage in the industry.

And because of the market downturn, the purchase of equipment is cheap, after-sales service is guaranteed.

Having experienced the advantages of financial leasing, the company has begun to plan to continue to advance the project which was previously shelved due to tight funds through financial leasing, so as to gain a more preemptive advantage when the industry improves.

In this case, under the background of macro tightening, enterprises not only do not shrink investment, but change their thinking, expand investment through financial leasing, further expand their own advantages, and lay a more solid foundation for future development.
