Contract & Trade Finance Placement
Finance Awarded Contracts From Procurement to Payment
Financely structures and places financing for companies that have won business and need working capital to execute it.
We underwrite the contract, calculate the execution funding requirement, identify the appropriate financing structure, strengthen the transaction where necessary and distribute the mandate across suitable banks, private-credit providers and specialist trade-finance institutions.
Starting Point
Awarded Contract or PO
Financing begins around an identifiable commercial obligation.
Underwriting
Contract + Cash Flow
Buyer, supplier, margin, milestones and execution are assessed.
Structure
Multi-Product
The facility evolves with the transaction and collateral position.
Execution
Capital Placement
Financely coordinates suitable third-party capital providers.
Execution Capital
A Strong Customer Contract Still Requires a Financeable Execution Structure
Before delivery, capital funds an execution process. Suppliers must be paid, goods produced, labor mobilized, inventory controlled and contractual milestones completed before the borrower reaches an invoice or receivable.
Contract-to-Cash Finance
The Financing Structure Can Change as the Contract Performs
A transaction can move from contract risk to supplier and production risk, then inventory risk, shipment risk and finally receivable risk. Financely structures the facility around the stage where capital is actually required.
Procurement & Production
Fund raw materials, manufacturing, supplier invoices and eligible execution costs.
Pre-Shipment Finance →Inventory Created
Transition financing toward eligible inventory and controlled collateral.
Inventory Finance →Shipment & Delivery
Coordinate documentary credit, shipment finance and controlled transaction cash flows.
Trade Facilities →Invoice / Receivable
Convert an eligible buyer payment obligation into liquidity after performance.
Receivables Finance →Repayment & Revolving Capacity
Repay from controlled buyer proceeds and recycle availability into subsequent contracts.
Revolving Trade Finance →Target Borrowers
Financing for Contract-Driven Operating Companies

Frequently Asked Questions
Contract & Trade Finance Placement
What size financing mandates do you target?
The initial commercial focus is generally financing
requirements of approximately USD 500,000 to USD 30 million.
Larger transactions can also be reviewed depending on the
facility, borrower and capital requirement.
Can financing begin before an invoice exists?
Yes. Eligible transactions can be structured from an awarded
contract or purchase order where the buyer, supplier,
transaction economics, execution capability and repayment
path support underwriting.
What does Financely underwrite?
The review can include the contract or PO, buyer, suppliers,
transaction margin, cash-flow requirement, performance
milestones, collateral, receivables, repayment mechanics,
jurisdiction and relevant compliance considerations.
Can you finance government contracts?
Eligible government-contract transactions can be evaluated.
The financing structure depends on the applicable procurement
regime, assignment rights, payment mechanics, milestones,
jurisdiction and underlying contractor.
Can the facility finance payroll and mobilization?
Contract-backed working-capital structures can address
eligible mobilization, payroll, equipment, subcontractor and
operating costs when the contract economics and repayment
structure support the facility.
Can you combine several financing structures?
Yes. A transaction may begin with PO or pre-shipment finance,
migrate into inventory or borrowing-base finance and
ultimately transition into receivables finance after
performance.
Does Financely provide the loan directly?
Financely acts as a structuring, advisory and placement agent.
Financing is provided by third-party banks, specialty finance
companies, private-credit providers or other eligible capital
sources following their independent approval.
What information should we submit?
Submit the borrower, contract or PO, buyer, transaction value,
gross margin, required financing amount, use of proceeds,
supplier requirements, expected performance timeline,
repayment source and available collateral or credit support.
