GENERAL COMMENTS

 

Opinion on the credit figure of US$ 1,000,000:

 

Kobaa Trading & Marketing Co has been in business for over a decade now and enjoys a good reputation for the quality of its products. The company stocks a wide range of building and construction materials and equipment.

 

During the course of this investigation nothing detrimental was uncovered regarding the manner in which payment obligations are fulfilled. The operating history is clear and the financial situation is satisfactory. As such we are of the opinion that the subject is a fair trade risk.

 

However, the above credit figure is higher than transactions previously seen and a measure of caution would be prudent given the magnitude of the transaction.

 

Maximum suggested credit figure: US$ 200,000
