We provide lender-ready capital raise packaging and debt or equity placement support for business owners and buyers looking to secure serious term sheets and close funding on a defined timeline.
For business owners and acquirers pursuing private debt or equity, submit your deal for review. We revert within one working day with next steps and either a quote for our services.
For pre-submission discussions, we offer paid consultations. To initiate underwriting and lender outreach, submit the deal.
ADB’s survey keeps the headline number steady at $2.5 trillion. That does not mean the problem is solved. It means unmet demand remains persistent even as trade patterns shift and policy uncertainty rises. Reuters notes the gap has widened since 2015, when it was estimated at about $1.5 trillion.
In the ADB survey, 80% of bank respondents expect trade finance demand to increase. A higher share expects demand to rise as trade diversification accelerates toward new markets.
When buyers shift suppliers and routes, working capital needs usually rise first, not last. More counterparties, more documents, more inspections, more settlement friction.
Reuters reports the US dollar is still used in over 82% of traditional trade finance transactions, yet many banks perceive growing need for local currency solutions. That gap matters when USD liquidity is tight.
New platforms can improve speed and matching, but they do not erase credit policy, collateral requirements, sanctions screening, or documentation gaps.
| Friction Point | What Banks Commonly Require | What Breaks Execution |
|---|---|---|
| Counterparty Risk | Verifiable counterparties, contracts, and performance history | Unclear seller chain, unverifiable allocations, weak corporate documents |
| Documentation Quality | Bankable trade pack, consistent terms, clean incoterms, clear payment path | Draft contracts that do not match cash flow reality, missing documents, mismatched parties |
| Controls And Collateral | LCs, SBLCs, insurance, collateral control, assignments, or controlled accounts | No enforceable control points, no visibility on goods, no credible exit repayment |
| Compliance Load | KYC, AML, sanctions screening, vessel or shipment checks when relevant | High-risk jurisdictions, opaque beneficial ownership, poor audit trail |
| Currency And Liquidity | USD availability or viable local currency solution that settles | FX conversion bottlenecks, capital controls, mispriced working capital needs |
The lenders that are still active are leaning toward collateral control, verified logistics, and payment routes that survive compliance screening.
If your trade only works on one instrument type, it is fragile. Price in alternatives such as confirmed LCs, SBLC-backed terms, insured receivables, or controlled settlement structures.

The figures and survey findings summarized here are based on public reporting and published survey materials linked above. Financely does not lend and does not commit capital.

Financing is subject to KYC, AML, sanctions screening, diligence, and independent lender or investor approval.
Submit your trade flow, counterparties, contracts, and required instrument terms. We will assess financeability and pursue executable term sheets or issue a written decline.
Financely advises growth-focused businesses on accessing capital by introducing their opportunities to professional investors. Financely is not a securities broker or dealer.
