Most Brazilian companies that source from China still treat sourcing and finance as separate problems, solved by separate vendors, on separate timelines, with separate margins of error. The result is predictable: payment terms that strangle cash cycles, quality risk borne entirely by the buyer, and supplier relationships that erode the moment a competitor offers more aggressive terms.
There is a better way. Sinosure, the Chinese export credit insurer, underwrites a meaningful share of Chinese export shipments. When a sourcing operation is structured to qualify for Sinosure coverage, the supplier can extend payment terms of 90, 120, or even 180 days, terms that align with the buyer's actual sales cycle rather than the shipping schedule.
The combination is not new. What is new is the level of integration. A traditional sourcing agent does not arrange finance. A trade finance broker does not qualify suppliers or run pre-shipment inspections. BZG operates both, in a single structured workflow, for a single client.
The house's view is simple. International sourcing at scale is not a procurement function. It is a financed operation. Treat it accordingly.
