KKIT Consultancy structures and manages the Letters of Credit behind your export payments, so you can open new markets knowing the money is guaranteed.
A Letter of Credit is a guarantee from your buyer’s bank that you’ll be paid, provided every term is met to the letter. That last part is where most exporters come unstuck.
Miss a detail in the wording, the documents or the deadlines, and payment can stall, or fall through entirely. We make sure that never happens. KKIT gets the credit right from the very first draft, liaising with your buyer and their bank so the terms are watertight and achievable before anything is signed.
For over a decade we’ve handled Letters of Credit for UK manufacturers and exporters trading into some of the world’s most demanding markets, from West Africa to Bangladesh and Mexico. You focus on winning the order. We make certain you get paid for it.
We get the credit right at the source: advising on terms before issue, checking every draft, and flagging anything unworkable while it can still be fixed. Often without your buyer ever knowing we’re involved.
When it’s time to ship, we coordinate freight forwarders, shipping lines and inspection agents on your behalf. Give us the contacts; we handle the rest, on time.
Strong ties with UK banks mean competitive discounting: offer your buyer up to 360 days’ credit while you’re paid at sight. We find the right bank to discount against theirs.
All third-party and LC-compliant paperwork prepared in full: Certificates of Origin, EUR1s, Arab documents and cargo insurance. UCP600, ISBP and Incoterms 2020 throughout.
With the paperwork off your desk, your people are free to pursue new markets and bigger orders. We remove the friction of Letters of Credit so growth is never held back by admin.
You’ll get clear answers to the questions that matter. The technical detail is ours to carry, not yours to decode. We keep it simple, and speak your language at every step.
KKIT has been a valued partner for eight years. We export trucks across Africa, where the wording in our Letters of Credit has to be word-perfect to secure payment. They’ve given us the confidence to expand into new territories. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
We export coatings to over 30 countries. KKIT has enabled us to reach difficult markets like Bangladesh and Mexico. Their fast, efficient service and deep knowledge of export documentation has saved us real time and money.
We’ve used KKIT since 2014 for every Letter of Credit our customers issue. Not one delay or query from an issuing bank. With so many countries to deal with, having their expertise on call lets us confirm orders without delay.
