Capital Structuring
Why Deal Packaging Determines Capital Outcomes
Capital providers do not fund ideas. They fund structured, documented risk.
When documentation is incomplete or inconsistent, even strong assets are declined.
Professional deal packaging aligns a transaction with institutional underwriting logic before distribution begins.
What Deal Packaging Really Means
Deal packaging is the conversion of a live transaction into lender-grade documentation. It includes financial modeling, risk mapping, capital stack structuring, and coordination of legal validation.

Review: Trade Finance Deal Packaging
Common Reasons Deals Are Rejected
- Unclear repayment structure
- Missing downside stress scenarios
- Overstated projections
- Incomplete capital stack disclosure
- Poor KYC and compliance documentation
Key Principle:
Distribution should follow documentation readiness. Once declined for structural weakness, credibility becomes harder to restore.
