Turning SME Trade Finance Assets Into Investable Notes

Financely originates, underwrites and structures short-duration trade finance assets generated by established B2B ecosystems. We connect recurring SME financing demand with asset managers seeking transparent, income-producing private credit opportunities.

Bridging the SME Trade Finance Gap

SMEs regularly face funding gaps between purchasing goods, moving inventory, completing delivery and receiving payment from their customers. Traditional lenders often lack the infrastructure required to underwrite smaller, high-frequency transactions efficiently.

Financely works with transaction-rich platforms and finance partners to identify eligible assets at the point of origination. Through asset-backed securitization, diversified pools of receivables, inventory facilities and supply chain assets can be transformed into investable notes.

Who We Partner With

  • B2B commerce platforms
  • Inventory management platforms
  • Logistics and freight companies
  • Alternative lenders
  • Asset managers

Our role Financely combines origination access, transaction-level underwriting, portfolio construction and institutional distribution. The objective is to create repeatable funding capacity rather than finance isolated transactions one at a time.

What Financely Brings to the Market

1

Embedded Origination

We source financing opportunities through partners with direct visibility over invoices, purchase orders, inventory, shipments and customer payment activity.

2

Asset-Level Underwriting

Transactions are assessed against obligor quality, documentary evidence, collateral controls, repayment sources and verified commercial activity.

3

Institutional Structuring

Eligible assets can be pooled by risk, tenor and transaction type before being structured into notes suitable for qualified private credit investors.

Eligible Asset Categories

Real Trade Assets With Identifiable Repayment Sources

Financely focuses on transactions supported by verifiable commercial activity. Each asset must present a clear use of funds, an identifiable counterparty and a documented repayment mechanism.

  • Confirmed trade receivables and invoice portfolios
  • Inventory-backed revolving facilities
  • Purchase order and supplier payment finance
  • Pre-shipment and post-shipment trade facilities
  • Borrowing-base structures tied to eligible assets
  • Short-duration commodity and supply chain transactions

Asset-Backed Securitization Process

From Individual SME Transactions to Investable Notes

The process converts fragmented trade finance exposures into a more standardized investment product supported by defined eligibility rules, transaction reporting and underlying commercial assets.
