Funding for Physical Commodity Production
What Commodity Production Funding Covers
Physical commodity producers often require structured capital to bridge exploration, production, and working capital cycles. Financely arranges funding against tangible assets, forward contracts, and inventory flows — delivering both liquidity and stability for producers expanding or optimizing operations.

|---|---|---|
| Pre-Export Finance (PXF) | Advance funding against confirmed offtake or sales contracts | Contract receivables and export flows |
| Reserve-Based Lending (RBL) | Debt secured by proven and probable reserves (oil, gas, or minerals) | Reserve valuation and production reports |
| Borrowing Base or Warehouse Finance | Liquidity for stored or in-transit commodities | Inventory receipts and warehouse certificates |
| Tolling and Processing Finance | Funding for smelters, refineries, and processing facilities | Feedstock contracts and plant assets |
| Working Capital & Offtake-Linked Debt | Short-term liquidity between production and export | Inventory, invoices, or offtake obligations |

Request Term SheetFrequently Asked Questions
Do you finance early-stage exploration projects?
We focus on projects that have achieved technical validation — such as a JORC, NI 43-101, or equivalent report — and can demonstrate near-term production or offtake visibility. Exploration-only mandates are outside our scope.
Can Financely arrange non-recourse production finance?
Yes. Depending on reserve quality, collateral, and offtake security, non-recourse or limited-recourse structures can be arranged through commodity funds, private credit, or ECA-backed lenders.
What size transactions do you consider?
Our typical production funding mandates range from USD 10 million to USD 500 million, depending on project scale, jurisdiction, and commodity type.
Do you assist with offtake agreements?
Yes. Financely coordinates with credible offtakers and trade houses to align production and payment flows with lender security requirements, creating stronger bankable structures.
What regions do you cover?
We operate globally, with focus on Africa, Latin America, and emerging markets in Asia and the Middle East. Jurisdictional due diligence and legal enforceability remain key to lender participation.
Financely acts as a structuring and placement advisor. We do not issue loans or guarantees directly. All mandates are subject to underwriting, compliance, and lender approval. Financing is arranged through regulated partners and institutional investors.
