Strategic Financing: OA 60-Day Terms via Sinosure

🛑 Is it possible for a first-time buyer?

For AGV units costing $30k–$150k+, suppliers rarely accept 100% OA terms immediately. Most successful "Sinosure-backed" deals follow a Hybrid Model:

• 30% Deposit: Covers raw materials and initial engineering.

• 70% OA 60-Days: Insured by Sinosure, starting from the Bill of Lading (B/L) date.

🛠️ The Sinosure Credit Application Path

1. Evaluation

The supplier applies for a Credit Limit on your company. Sinosure audits your financials, trade history, and US credit score.

2. Underwriting

Sinosure grants a specific limit (e.g., $500k). If you fail to pay, Sinosure compensates the supplier up to 90% of the loss.

⏰ When does the 60-day clock start?

In 90% of export contracts, the term starts from the Bill of Lading (B/L) Date.

The "Transit Gap": If shipping to the US East Coast takes 45 days, you will only have 15 days of "free" cash flow after the AGVs arrive before payment is due.

💡 Negotiation Tip: Request "OA 60 Days from Port Arrival (ETA)" or "After Site Acceptance (SAT)" to align payment with your ROI.

⚠️ Risks That Block Credit Approval

• Heavy Customization: If you cancel, the supplier cannot resell "bespoke" robots to other clients.

• Software Dependencies: Suppliers fear buyers will withhold payment over minor software bugs during commissioning.

• First-Time Projects: Without a "Trial Order" history, Sinosure limits are often too low for a full fleet.
