Unlock Your Edge: Using the (B/L) as a Competitive Tool 🚀
In international trade, your business’s money often sits tied up while goods are still on the water. This can slow down your entire operation. At Crestmont Group, we transform this challenge into a powerful opportunity. We help our clients use the (B/L) as a competitive tool, providing them with a clear financial advantage in the global market.
The Bill of Lading: More Than Just a Receipt
Most people know the Bill of Lading (B/L) as a basic shipping document. In fact, it’s much more than that. A B/L serves as a receipt for goods, a contract for their transport, and—most importantly—a legal document that shows who owns the goods. Traditionally, a business must wait for the goods to arrive before they can get paid or access their capital. This creates a major cash flow bottleneck. Using the (B/L) as a competitive tool allows you to break free from this slow cycle. You can learn more about the different functions of this crucial document in this helpful guide on the Bill of Lading.
