Tiivistelmä
The major impediment for the growth of Inderfor S.A, an Argentinean forestry intermediary company, is their clients´ poor access to financing. Latin America is gaining ground in the forest industry, opening opportunities for Finnish forest machinery manufacturers, but the Argentinean operators do not have the sufficient means to fund such technological investments. To provide assistance and information to deal with the current situation, the research objectives aimed at offering Inderfor with a scan over viable financing solutions by presenting some Argentinean, Finnish and international financing institutions, both public and private, and banks. A secondary objective was to find specific financing solutions that were carried into practice through three varying study cases. The study has a descriptive method approach. Actual investigation was conducted by gathering information directly from the different financing institutions mainly through personal communication, and by using already existing data. Solutions and results to the different study cases were implemented by utilizing the gathered data, and by cooperating with the study case companies. It can be concluded that each specific client case, future or current, requires separate evaluation on applicable financing solutions. General awareness of what services the global financial markets provide, however, facilitates and shortens the evaluation process. A major task was to provide Inderfor S.A. with this awareness: Inderfor S.A. is to take advantage of the information for the benefit of their business partners.
