Copper cathode transactions fail for predictable reasons: unclear chain of title, inconsistent documentation, weak compliance readiness, and counterparties that cannot execute an SPA and inspection workflow on schedule. If you are buying copper cathodes in volume, the objective is not introductions. The objective is a controlled execution process that reaches contract and settlement without resets.
Financely supports verified buyers with copper cathode sourcing and execution coordination. We qualify the buyer, target relevant supplier channels, screen counterparties, align commercial terms and documents, coordinate inspection and shipping workflows, and support settlement coordination through vetted counterparties.
We focus on cathodes that match mainstream deliverable standards, typically marketed as LME Grade A. The specification, packaging, and documentary requirements are confirmed per corridor and buyer intake.
Transaction design depends on corridor, warehousing, and delivery basis. We commonly coordinate files that specify:
Smelters, fabricators, industrial consumers, and importers with a documented operating footprint and decision maker control.
Traders with documented performance and the ability to execute documentation, inspection, and settlement workflows without repeated term resets.
We triage the file, confirm decision maker control, and run compliance gating before engaging supplier channels.
We run targeted outreach to relevant supplier channels based on corridor, delivery basis, timeline, and buyer profile, then filter to executable options.
We support SPA readiness and documentary sequencing so the transaction can survive inspection, title transfer, and settlement checkpoints.
Metals transactions depend on clear inspection procedures and credible reporting. We coordinate the workflow so both parties know exactly what triggers delivery and payment.

We commence work after the engagement retainer is received and onboarding is complete. Execution remains subject to counterparty screening, documentation agreement, and performance feasibility.
No. Financely is not a producer or physical metals seller. We coordinate sourcing and execution through vetted counterparties, subject to screening and contracting.
Buyer entity and beneficial ownership basics, intended delivery point, quantity and schedule, preferred Incoterms basis, target timing, and the settlement method you can execute. If you have a draft SPA template, include it.
Where appropriate, we can coordinate trade finance execution through regulated counterparties. Documentary Letters of Credit are typically governed by UCP 600. Any bank instrument remains subject to KYC, sanctions screening, credit approval, and definitive documentation.
No. Supply availability, pricing, and delivery depend on market conditions, counterparty approvals, compliance outcomes, and executed contracts. Our role is to run a controlled sourcing and execution process designed to reach executable terms.
To start copper cathode sourcing, activate the mandate by paying the engagement retainer. Once paid, we will send the onboarding checklist and begin qualification and supplier outreach based on your corridor and timeline.
