Trading Pharma in Spain

 

Artis specializes in providing trade finance to streamline pharmaceutical transactions in Spain, a market known for stringent regulations. Here’s a simplified breakdown of how Artis facilitates a typical trade transaction in this sector:

 

  1. Market Identification:
    The pharmaceutical market in Spain is tightly regulated and banks are don’t lend to SME’s as much as in other countries. Despite the challenges, it’s a seller’s market where certified products are in demand.
  2. Trade Initiation:
    Our local trader identifies a trading opportunity in the dynamic pharma spot market. Once a demand is recognised, Artis provides the necessary financing.
  3.  Order Confirmation:
    • An order confirmation initiates the trade process.
    • The seller provides a packaging list and a proforma invoice, establishing the purchase and sales contract.
  4. Guarantee Provision:
    • To provide a safety net, the trader issues a promissory note, set 30 days post the anticipated repayment date, serving as a guarantee for the transaction.
    • In addition we obtain credit insurance on buyer’s default by a state-owned insurer
  5. Goods Delivery:
    The ordered goods are dispatched to the customer, marking a crucial step in the trade process.
  6. Invoice Issuance:
    • Upon receiving and accepting the goods, the customer acknowledges the product acceptance.
    • The trader then issues a formal invoice to the customer, replacing the initial proforma invoice.
  7.  Payment and Settlement
    The customer pays the trader, who transfers the agreed amount to Artis, concluding the transaction successfully.
