Contract-Backed Trade Finance Services

Secure funding against signed contracts, purchase orders, or offtake agreements. Financely helps companies convert their pipeline into working capital by underwriting and distributing transactions to our network of trade finance lenders.

Request a Term Sheet

In global trade, contracts are collateral. If you have a binding purchase order or sales contract with a credible counterparty, you already hold the key to short-term liquidity. Contract-backed trade finance bridges the gap between shipment and payment, reducing strain on working capital and supporting business growth.

How Contract-Backed Trade Finance Works

  • You present a signed contract, purchase order, or offtake agreement with a creditworthy buyer.
  • Financely arranges financing against this contract, advancing up to 70%–85% of the contract value.
  • The funds are disbursed pre-shipment or during production, covering supplier payments and logistics.
  • Once the buyer settles the invoice, the facility is repaid, and the cycle can be repeated.
Example: A copper exporter in Zambia secures a $5m purchase order from a European smelter. Financely arranges $4m in contract-backed financing, allowing the exporter to purchase ore from local suppliers and deliver on time. Once payment is received from the smelter, the facility is repaid, and the exporter repeats the cycle.

Key Benefits

Liquidity on Demand
Access working capital as soon as contracts are signed.		 Risk Mitigation
Lenders advance funds against buyer creditworthiness, not just your balance sheet.
Scalability
Finance grows with your sales pipeline and contract book.		 Competitive Edge
Secure supplier discounts and execute larger orders without delays.
Example: A food distributor in Texas receives a $2m supply contract from a supermarket chain. Instead of waiting for 60-day payment terms, the distributor finances 80% of the contract value upfront, pays farmers on delivery, and fulfills the order without cash strain.
