International Trading Agency (ITA) is a specialist trade and working capital solutions agency.
ITA delivers a host of credit, debt and risk management benefits through a range of trade and working capital solutions. We facilitate the purchasing of goods from suppliers and on-sell the goods to end-users and retailers. Through these solutions we are able to deliver reduced risk, improved cash flow and enhanced insurance cover to suppliers [those selling], as well as extended terms and stability through vendor rationalisation for clients [those buying].
Most companies find developing or advancing their core competency areas challenging, given the distractions caused by functions that support everyday businesses operations. A large number of companies are seen to be consistently ‘going through the motions’ of their business, allowing peripheral business functions to detract from their growth and original aims. Companies with a strong sense of purpose are better able to transform and innovate, making more money with engaged employees and a loyal customer base. ITA unlocks this focus, allowing companies to embrace their core purpose without the daily distraction of periphery business functions.
Working with ITA provides extensive benefits to your company:
- Allows you to focus on your core business with an efficient support model
- Provides more time for business and product innovation
- Increases time available for client relationship building

Who should contract ITA?
Any company that buys product (finished or raw) and on-sells traded or converted goods is able to contract ITA to operate as the conduit between companies to manage the entire supply chain and everything in between, including debtors, creditors, finance, inventory, logistics and customs.
Traditional agency models see agencies identifying products to import, before selling them to a customer base they wish to establish and maintain. ITA is unique in that we work with companies with an established customer base. We have adopted this distinctive model based on the understanding that our clients want to maintain their connection with their customer base, and simply wish to utilise our specialist services to manage their supply chain in order to focus on their core competencies and important client relationships.
