Bridge Financing for Commodity Transactions
We structure and secure bridge financing solutions for commodity trades, providing short-term capital to cover purchase, transport, or pre-payment obligations until final settlement is received. This service is critical for traders and corporates navigating timing gaps between shipment and payment.
What is Bridge Financing in Commodity Trade?
Bridge financing in the commodities sector is a short-term facility designed to “bridge” the gap between the purchase or shipment of goods and the receipt of proceeds from the end buyer or off-taker. Typical tenors range from 30 to 180 days, often secured against the commodity itself or receivables from an investment-grade counterparty.
