Cashflow calculator
We have recently launched the web based Cashflow calculator, enabling businesses trading internationally, or considering taking that step, to interactively model their trade cycle and enable a clear view of their import/export timeline and cashflow. The tool is a great way to quickly analyse cash requirements, with transactions graphically displayed along with the plotting of your trade timeline.
The Cashflow calculator is available via a smartphone or tablet, so it can be accessed on the go. This is ideal if you’re abroad negotiating a deal and want to see how it will affect your cashflow.

If you’re on the move and require quick and convenient access to our international solutions and tools, all international content is now optimised for smartphone and tablet viewing.

Country Spotlight: China
Whether selling, trading, investing, or franchising, China offers immense opportunity to UK companies looking to do business abroad. Growth has been sustained and the economy grew 8.7 per cent in 2009, the best performance of all major economies. This year, the market is expected to grow by 9.6%. Whilst the rise of China is easy to acknowledge, businesses constantly need to catch up with the speed, depth of change and development in China's large and complex market space. For more information about China and how NatWest can help expand your business in the Chinese economy visit Country & trade insight.
