ICUMSA 45 Sugar Trade Finance
We structure and place trade finance for importers, distributors and traders of refined white sugar, turning a real sugar flow into a credit file lenders can underwrite.
Request an EstimateMost sugar financing requests never reach a credit committee. The trade may be genuine, but the file does not show who the seller is, how the cargo is priced, how collateral is controlled or how the lender gets repaid.
Our structured trade and commodity finance advisory fixes that before any lender is approached, then takes the file to banks, trade finance funds and commodity lenders with appetite for your corridor.

Request an EstimateFrequently asked questions
Does Financely lend money or issue letters of credit?
No. Financely is an advisory and arranging firm. Lenders provide the facility and issue any letters of credit.
Can you finance a single spot cargo?
Lenders prefer recurring, documented flows. A spot cargo can work when the seller, buyer and logistics are verifiable and the client has a credible balance sheet.
Why is there no success fee?
The retainer covers the advisory work. Any compensation at closing is paid by the lender, not by you.
