Many trading companies and corporate borrowers have real flows, customers and purchase contracts, but limited access to lenders and investors who understand trade finance risk. At the same time, banks, funds and credit investors want curated exposure to self liquidating assets with clear collateral and reporting. Financely operates between those two groups, arranging structured introductions where both sides see a prepared file, not a cold approach.
In this context, introductions are not generic email blasts or informal name passing. They are targeted approaches to institutions and private credit providers already known to have appetite for similar risk, supported by structured summaries, data packs and clear asks. The objective is to reduce noise for both sides and create a feasible path from first contact to a term sheet.
Each mandate follows a sequence that links deal preparation with investor and lender outreach. The aim is to avoid premature introductions on incomplete files and to present counterparties with a consistent, structured view of the opportunity.
| Stage | Description | Typical Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1) Intake And Eligibility | Review of trade flows, products, routes, counterparties, historic performance, security and requested structure. High level sense check on feasibility and lender fit. | Eligibility note, initial view on facility types, rough advance ranges and lender universe that may be appropriate. |
| 2) Structuring And Data Room | Clarification of proposed facility terms, collateral, covenants, and reporting. Guidance on what information needs to sit in a basic data room for lenders to engage. | Short list of required documents, draft term sheet options and a checklist for financial, operational and legal materials. |
| 3) Underwriting Summary | Preparation of a concise memorandum describing the borrower, trade cycles, risk mitigants, security and proposed facility, written from a lender perspective. | Underwriting summary that can be shared with credit funds and banks as an entry point before full data room access. |
| 4) Lender Mapping | Identification of banks, trade funds and private credit investors with mandates that match the transaction profile, including constraints on jurisdiction, size and product. | Target list segmented by institution type, ticket size, risk appetite, sector focus and currency. |
| 5) Introductions And Outreach | Coordinated outreach to mapped lenders and investors, presenting the summary and proposing next steps such as NDAs, calls and data room access. | Email introductions, virtual meetings and initial feedback on appetite, conditions and preferred structures. |
| 6) Feedback And Term Sheet Stage | Collection of feedback, clarification questions and preliminary indications from interested parties. Support to the borrower in comparing options and addressing concerns. | Shortlist of interested lenders or investors, with indication of likely structures and commercial terms subject to full approval. |
Not every request is suitable for institutional capital. Our focus is on plain language, documentable risk. Transactions need to be supported by real flows, clear contracts and counterparties willing to engage at a professional level.
Financely concentrates on transactions where the underlying commercial activity is clear, repeatable and capable of being documented to lender standards. The introduction service is designed to connect those transactions with institutions that already understand trade finance and asset backed credit, not to repackage speculative propositions. That approach protects time and reputations on both sides of the table.
Our work combines structuring support, underwriting summaries and targeted outreach. Legal, regulatory and credit decisions remain with the counterparties and their advisers. Financely does not hold client funds and operates through regulated partners for any activity that falls within securities or regulated arranging in relevant jurisdictions.
