Frequently Asked Questions

What costs can the bridge facility cover?

The facility may cover verified terminal storage, TSR-related costs, throughput, transfer, release, quantity and quality inspection, laboratory analysis and the short period before buyer settlement.

Can the lender pay the terminal and inspector directly?

Yes. Approved costs can be paid directly through attorney escrow or another controlled closing account to verified terminals, inspectors and logistics providers.

Can buyer proceeds repay the facility?

Yes. Buyer proceeds may serve as the primary repayment source when the sale agreement is binding, the buyer is acceptable and payment is routed through a controlled account.

Can a documentary letter of credit be used instead?

A documentary credit may be suitable when the supplier or terminal accepts payment from an issuing bank against clearly defined documents and the applicant qualifies for issuance.

Does Financely provide the bridge loan directly?

Financely provides independent advisory, structuring, underwriting preparation and placement support. Third-party lenders make the final credit and funding decisions.
