For International & First-Time Buyers

Payment Options for Large Orders

Wiring a large sum to a new supplier for the first time is a real risk for any buyer — especially across borders. LIT structures payment around that concern rather than asking you to simply trust us with it. Here's how.

The Problem We're Solving
Two Objections, One Structure

"I don't know this vendor yet."

On a first-time deal, sending a large wire before receiving anything is a legitimate concern — for any buyer, in any country. We don't ask you to take that leap on trust alone.

"That's a lot to pay at once."

AI infrastructure orders can run into significant sums. Paying the full amount upfront isn't always realistic, even when the deal itself makes sense.

How We Structure Payment
Three Approaches, Depending on the Order

None of these are automatic or available on every order — the right fit depends on the size of the order, whether it's a first-time relationship, your region, and terms we agree on together. These are the categories we evaluate; we'll confirm what's actually available for your specific order as part of your quote.

Escrow, Milestone-Based

For qualifying new or first-time relationships, we may be able to structure funds through a neutral third party, released in stages as agreed milestones are met — for example, on signing, on delivery, and on final sign-off. Availability depends on order size and whether it makes sense for both sides.

Trade Credit / Installments

For qualifying buyers who'd rather spread payment over time, we can look into financing arrangements that let you pay in installments while we're paid in full upfront through the financing partner. This depends on approval from that third-party financing partner, not something we guarantee directly.

Equipment Financing

Since AI servers, GPUs, and networking hardware are capital equipment, they may be eligible for direct financing — secured by the equipment itself — for qualifying orders and buyers. We can point you toward this option where it applies; approval sits with the financing provider.

What This Means for You
Nothing Locked In Until We Talk

These are the general categories we're able to evaluate — not options available on every order, and not a guarantee any of them will fit your specific situation. Eligibility depends on the order, your business, your region, and in some cases approval from a third-party financing or escrow partner. The specific approach, if any applies, is worked out as part of your quote.

If payment structure is a factor in your decision to move forward, raise it early — mention it when you request a quote and we'll tell you what's realistically available, before anything is finalized.

// GOOD TO KNOW

For very large orders, or deals in regions where cross-border banking trust is a bigger factor, more formal instruments like letters of credit may also be worth discussing. We'll flag if that applies to your order.

Ready to move forward?

If a large upfront payment is what's holding you back, mention it in your quote request and we'll see what's realistically possible. A direct transfer skips third-party fees entirely, so it's generally your most cost-effective option when it's available to you.
