Gold Finance Starts With Provenance, Control and Repayment

The financing case should establish where the material comes from, who owns it, how quality and quantity are determined, how the doré moves securely to an approved refinery or buyer and how final sale proceeds return through a controlled repayment route.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gold Trade Finance for Doré Purchases

Can gold doré purchases be financed?
Yes. Qualifying transactions can be assessed for structured trade finance where the source, seller, ownership, purchase contract, commodity controls, logistics, refinery or buyer and repayment mechanics satisfy institutional credit and compliance requirements.
Can the lender pay the gold supplier directly?
Controlled supplier payment can be incorporated into certain structures. Disbursement mechanics depend on the transaction, lender, verification procedures and applicable conditions precedent.
Does the gold need a confirmed refinery buyer?
A credible refinery or end-buyer relationship can materially strengthen the financing case because it creates a defined commercial exit and settlement mechanism. The precise requirements depend on the lender and structure.
Can an assay report alone support financing?
The lender evaluates the complete transaction. Assay information addresses product characteristics, while origin, ownership, seller diligence, custody, legal export, commercial contracts, buyer or refinery settlement and repayment remain separate underwriting considerations.
Can gold inventory support a borrowing-base facility?
Eligible precious-metals inventory can potentially form part of a borrowing base where the lender is satisfied with title, custody, location, valuation, insurance, release controls and liquidation considerations.
Can refinery receivables be financed?
Qualifying receivables from an acceptable refinery or buyer may support post-delivery financing where the lender is satisfied with the underlying delivery, payment obligation, assignment rights and counterparty credit quality.
Why is due diligence intensive for gold transactions?
Precious-metals transactions can involve heightened origin, ownership, sanctions, AML, fraud, logistics and responsible sourcing risks. Institutional financiers therefore require a clear evidentiary trail for the counterparties, commodity, payment route and transaction history.
Does Financely purchase or finance the gold directly?
Financely acts as a structured finance advisor and arranger. Financing is supplied by third-party banks, private-credit funds, commodity financiers and other institutional capital providers following independent underwriting and approval.
Does Financely charge an advisory retainer?
Yes. Gold trade finance mandates are paid professional advisory engagements. The scope can include transaction assessment, trade modeling, facility structuring, lender-grade preparation, due diligence coordination, capital placement, term-sheet negotiation and execution support.
What should we submit to request a quote?
Submit the requested financing amount, company profile, supplier details, source and country of origin, purchase contract, available licensing and export documentation, expected doré specifications, assay information, buyer or refinery agreement, transaction economics, logistics, insurance arrangements and target closing date.
