Capital Raising For LC Margin

Secure funding for LC margin, confirmation fees, and pre-shipment costs so suppliers ship and schedules hold. Options include secured working capital, UPAS buyer credit, receivables and inventory finance, assignment of proceeds, and selective equity. A lender pack sets out cash cycle, counterparty strength, collateral, and the repayment waterfall. Security may include receivables, stock, cash collateral, and limited sponsor support. Financing is arranged through regulated partners and is subject to credit approval, KYC, AML, and sanctions checks.
