ABOUT GLOBAL TRADING PARTNERS
Redefining the role of Purchase Order and Trade Financiers, Global Trading Partners builds relationships first. We focus on the character and abilities of the client above the merits of the transaction. For even more about us, we designed our company culture to value our clients’ abilities and to build long-lasting partnerships based on trust and commitment.
As the oldest trade finance company in the U.S., we have a simple approach to business success that has allowed us to provide financing for transactions that traditional banks have steered away from. While we’re not fancy or have the biggest boardroom, we take our role seriously and concentrate on helping you build a successful business one transaction at a time.
Over the years, we have had the opportunity to partner with thousands of companies of all sizes to fund purchase orders ranging from $10,000 to more than $1 million. With us on your side, you focus on your sales and production while we focus on the working capital required by you to produce and deliver your products to your buyers.
Meet Jim Miller
Founder / Owner , Global Trading Partners
Jim Miller founded Global Trading Partners in 1992 after recognizing that many start-up, entrepreneurial, and middle-market businesses struggled to secure financing through traditional banks. He built Global around a simpler alternative lending model focused on helping companies increase working capital quickly, without the red tape, complicated applications, and long underwriting timelines typical of conventional lenders.
A Seattle native raised in California, Jim has spent his career in banking and trade finance since earning his finance degree from Santa Clara University. Before launching Global Trading Partners, he held vice president roles with US World Trade Corporation, a subsidiary of US Bancorp, and Union Bank of California. He remains committed to supporting business growth by focusing on current opportunities and recurring purchase orders rather than past limitations.
