Independent Capital Advisory
About Financely
Financely is an independent capital adviser focused on trade finance, project finance, commercial real estate and M&A funding. We structure, underwrite and place transactions through regulated partners across banks, funds and insurers.
Our work is transaction-specific. We assess the underlying financing requirement, commercial structure, repayment mechanics, collateral, documentation and counterparty risks before preparing opportunities for lender or investor review.
In trade and commodity finance, this includes analysis of the underlying trade, payment mechanics, market evidence, collateral controls and compliance risks. Engagements are undertaken on a best-efforts basis and do not constitute a commitment to lend or invest. All transactions remain subject to KYC, AML, due diligence, credit approval and counterparty requirements.
Trade Finance Expertise
Institutional Trade Finance Experience
Financely combines experience across documentary credits, structured trade finance, commodity finance, structured credit and working-capital facilities with transaction structuring, underwriting preparation and capital placement capabilities.
Our trade finance capabilities cover import, export, pre-shipment, post-shipment and commodity-backed financing structures across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia. We assess the commercial transaction alongside the proposed financing structure, including payment mechanics, counterparties, collateral, repayment sources and transaction controls.
Financely supports importers, exporters, commodity traders, manufacturers and other operating companies with structuring, underwriting preparation and placement of financing opportunities with banks, private credit funds, specialty lenders, insurers and other institutional capital providers.
Our work may include documentary credit structures, supplier financing, receivables facilities, inventory financing, borrowing-base facilities, pre-export finance and other structured working-capital solutions. Each mandate is developed around the underlying trade flow, credit profile and requirements of prospective financing providers.
