Structured Trade Finance Advisory
Finance the Trade Before and After Shipment
Paid advisory for importers, exporters, commodity traders and operating companies that need structured financing around a defined purchase order, sales contract, shipment or receivable.
Financely structures pre-shipment and post-shipment solutions, prepares the transaction for underwriting and coordinates capital-source engagement under a paid professional mandate. Financing remains subject to lender, bank, insurer and investor approval.
The financing structure should follow the commercial cycle, payment mechanics and control of goods or receivables.
Transaction value or annual company turnover.
Pre-engagement transaction assessment.
Accepted mandates require an upfront retainer.
Capital providers retain approval authority.
Pre and Post Shipment
Structure Financing Around Where the Cash Is Trapped
The required facility depends on when capital is needed, when title or control transfers, how the buyer pays and which assets or contracts can support the credit.
Pre-Shipment
Finance Procurement, Production and Shipment
Pre-shipment structures provide liquidity before the seller receives payment from the buyer. The financing case is usually built around a purchase order, sales contract, documentary credit, borrowing base, inventory or other identifiable source of repayment.
Post-Shipment
Monetize the Receivable After Goods Have Shipped
Post-shipment structures accelerate cash after shipment or delivery. Underwriting focuses on the buyer, payment obligation, documentary evidence, receivable quality and enforceability of the underlying trade.
Structured Trade Finance Solutions
Transactions We Can Structure and Prepare for Placement
The final facility can combine several instruments. We focus on the commercial transaction, repayment source, documentary controls and allocation of performance, credit and country risk.
Mandate Eligibility
Strong Trade Finance Cases Are Underwritable Before They Are Marketed
Capital providers need more than a request for working capital. The transaction must demonstrate a real trade, credible counterparties, clear payment mechanics and a recoverable source of repayment.
Core qualification
Our onboarding screens for transaction substance, commercial readiness and the information required to build an institutional financing case.
Either annual company turnover or proposed transaction value must meet the minimum.
The principal commercial counterparties can be identified and verified.
A purchase order, sales contract, LC, invoice or other commercial evidence supports the financing request.
Buyer payment, receivable collection, LC proceeds or another identifiable cash-flow source repays the facility.
Contracts, invoices, purchase orders, logistics documents, financials and KYC can be provided.
The client is prepared to fund structuring, underwriting preparation and transaction execution.
The request is not supported by direct access to the principal trading company or authorized transaction party.
The request depends on speculative resale or financing without a defined commercial repayment source.
Paid Advisory
Professional Structuring Before Capital Placement
Financely operates under paid advisory mandates. The retainer supports the professional work required to assess, structure, prepare and coordinate the transaction before and during capital-source engagement.
Activates our pre-engagement review of the trade, financing requirement, counterparties, documentary structure and likely mandate scope.
Accepted mandates require an upfront retainer before the transaction team begins structuring, underwriting preparation or capital-source engagement.
Trade-cycle analysis, facility structuring, borrowing-base design, document review, underwriting preparation, lender mapping, capital origination, negotiation support and mandate management.
We recommend maintaining approximately 20% of the advisory retainer as an additional contingency for legal, compliance, diligence, verification, insurance, inspection, travel and other third-party costs.
Financing is subject to KYC, AML, sanctions screening, counterparty diligence, credit underwriting and approval by the relevant bank, fund, insurer or investor.
