Why the trade fits
Kanpur pairs one of India’s oldest leather and footwear trades with a heavy engineering base, supplying export orders and appointed distributors alike. Tanneries and shoe units commit capital to hides, chemicals and components long before a dated order pays. A limit tied to confirmed orders funds that material through the finishing cycle.
How the safeguards apply here
Purpose-tied disbursal pays the chemical or component supplier directly against the order, keeping capital on material. Delivery confirmation ties each drawdown to shipped goods and short cycles keep exposure one order deep.
