Various forms of Business”
International business is a dynamic activity which changes, adapts and re-sponds according to the conditions. Apart from conventional trade it takes various forms such as buy – back transactions, turnkey projects, transactions in patents, licences, know – how, services, various joint ventures, joint banks, mixed com-missions and many other forms.
Very many manufacturing companies, transportation and forwarding organi-zations, banks and financial institutions, insurers and underwriters as well as other various agents and entities are involved in contemporary international business. And their activities are mainly aimed at developing and facilitating all the plentiful forms of international business. And not rarely their goal is realised to the benefit of all concerned.
Banks, foe example, have especially established the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications ( SWIFT) to expedite fund transfers and cut down on paper work. Bankers are not only settling international payments to facilitate international business. They also provide credit facilitates, insure credit risks involved, render consultancy and other sophisticated services, which in the end contributes to international trade significantly.

Фирме ….
Господа,
Мы крайне удивлены Вашим письмом от пятого января, в котором Вы отказываетесь оплатить наш счет № …., так как Вы считаете нас ответствен-ными за опоздание в монтаже оборудования по контракту № …. . Как Вам хорошо известно, нарушение сроков монтажных работ произошло по неза-висящим от нас причинам, и мы неоднократно ставили Вас об этом в извест-ность.
Мы еще раз вынуждены напомнить Вам, что, когда наши специалисты прибыли на завод, они не могли приступить к монтажу, так как часть обору-дования, подлежащего установке, не была доставлена на площадку в связи с транспортными трудностями внутри нашей страны.
С уважением …….
