Receivables Finance For Oil And Gas Contractors Paid In 60 To 120 Days

If your company delivers maintenance, logistics, equipment support, procurement, manpower, or field services to major oil and gas counterparties, long payment cycles can choke growth even when the contracts themselves are strong. Many contractors are profitable on paper but strained in practice because invoices are paid well after payroll, mobilization, supplier costs, and operating expenses have already fallen due.

Financely helps structure receivables-backed working capital solutions for service contractors operating against approved invoices, contract proceeds, or creditworthy obligors. Where the counterparty is strong and the paper is clean, facilities may be structured to bridge the gap between service delivery and final payment.

The Problem Most Oil And Gas Service Contractors Actually Have

This is not usually a sales problem. It is a timing problem. You perform today, invoice after delivery or approval, and wait 60, 90, or 120 days to get paid. During that period, your business still has to function. Staff must be paid. Vendors expect settlement. Imported equipment must be cleared. Transport, warehousing, and mobilization costs do not wait politely in the corner.

In plain English, many contractors end up financing major counterparties from their own balance sheet. That becomes painful fast, especially when project size grows faster than internal liquidity.

Typical Pressure Point

You have signed work, recognised revenue, and approved or approvable invoices, but not enough liquidity to keep executing at full speed while waiting for payment.

What The Facility Solves

A structured receivables facility can provide working capital against eligible invoice flows, helping support procurement, payroll, vendor payments, and contract execution.

Who This Is Built For

Service Contractors

Maintenance providers, industrial service firms, engineering support companies, logistics operators, equipment suppliers, and local content contractors serving large operators or prime contractors.

Businesses With Real Paper

Companies with executed contracts, invoices, purchase orders, delivery records, completion evidence, and a counterparty profile that can withstand underwriting review.

Firms Facing Longer Payment Cycles

Businesses exposed to 60 to 120 day receivable cycles that need a better working capital structure than simply waiting, stretching suppliers, or starving operations.

Operators Ready To Be Underwritten

Clients prepared to provide financials, contract documentation, invoice schedules, corporate documents, KYC materials, and commercial detail needed for a proper lender-facing package.

What Financely Does

We do not present ourselves as a direct lender. We act as a transaction-led advisory desk focused on structuring, underwriting preparation, packaging, and lender-facing execution support. In deals of this type, that matters. A strong contract is not enough on its own. The facility still needs to be framed correctly, documented correctly, and circulated to the right kind of funding counterparties.

Structure Review

We assess whether the transaction is better positioned as invoice discounting, receivables finance, a borrowing base facility, contract-backed working capital, or a more tailored structure.

Underwriting Preparation

We identify the gaps, conditions precedent, collateral issues, obligor concerns, and execution weaknesses before the file reaches funding parties.

Lender-Facing Packaging

We prepare the memo, transaction framing, risk explanation, requested terms, and supporting file so the deal reads like a financeable case instead of a vague capital request.

Execution Support

Where viable, we support lender approach strategy, Q&A handling, revisions, and transaction progression through the early stages of review.

Typical Use Of Proceeds

Facilities of this kind are commonly used to support the operating strain created by delayed invoice payments rather than to fund unrelated expansion plans or speculative activity.

  • Supplier payments tied to contract performance
  • Payroll and field team costs
  • Mobilization and logistics expenses
  • Equipment procurement or delivery support
  • Short-term working capital tied directly to contract execution

How These Transactions Are Commonly Structured

Area Typical Positioning
Facility Type Receivables finance, invoice discounting, contract-backed working capital, or borrowing base financing depending on the strength of the receivables and supporting documents.
Underlying Asset Approved invoices, contract proceeds, receivable schedules, and payment obligations from eligible counterparties.
Tenor Usually aligned with the receivable cycle, often 30 to 120 days depending on the payment terms and structure.
Advance Rate Often a percentage of eligible receivables rather than full face value, subject to underwriting, obligor quality, dilution risk, concentration, and legal assignment mechanics.
Security Package Can include assignment of receivables, control over proceeds, contractual rights, debentures, guarantees, reserve requirements, and transaction controls.
Repayment Source The primary exit is payment of the financed invoices or underlying contract receivables.

Why These Deals Get Rejected

A lot of contractors assume that a large counterparty name solves everything. It does not. Many cases fail because the file is thin, the assignment mechanics are weak, the obligor relationship is not documented properly, or the capital request is framed too loosely.

Weak Documentation

No clean invoice schedule, no contract extract, no completion evidence, no payment history, or no clear explanation of the commercial cycle.

Poor Transaction Framing

Clients ask for a big working capital line without showing how repayment flows back from specific receivables or contract proceeds.

Concentration Risk

One obligor can be attractive, but the lender will still look at dependence, claim risk, offsets, counterparty approval procedures, and practical enforcement.

Mismatch Between Need And Structure

Some deals are pitched as securitization, project finance, or general corporate finance when they are really a receivables-backed working capital case.

Not every contract or invoice stream is automatically financeable. Real underwriting matters. A good story is not enough. The file must hold up under scrutiny, and the structure must match the commercial reality of the deal.

What A Serious Submission Usually Needs

  • Corporate profile and ownership details
  • Executed contracts or award documentation
  • Invoice schedules and payment terms
  • Evidence of delivery, acceptance, or approval mechanics
  • Historic financial statements and management accounts
  • Counterparty information and transaction flow summary
  • KYC, legal, and jurisdictional documents

Why Clients Come To Financely

Most companies do not lose time because they lack ambition. They lose time because their transaction is not yet lender-ready. The market is full of people claiming to “know funders,” but far fewer can turn a raw operating need into a properly structured, lender-facing file. That is where we sit.

For contractors serving major oil and gas operators, the commercial logic is often sound. The missing piece is usually structure, documentation, positioning, and the discipline to present the transaction the way capital providers actually review it.

Need A Receivables-Backed Working Capital Structure?

If your company is performing against real contracts but long payment terms are slowing execution, submit the transaction for review. We assess structure, underwriting readiness, and next-step viability before any lender-facing work begins.

Financely is a transaction-led capital advisory desk. We are not a bank, deposit-taking institution, or guaranteed source of funding. Any financing outcome remains subject to underwriting, documentation, legal review, compliance checks, transaction structure, and capital provider approval. Regulated activities, where required, may be handled through appropriately licensed counterparties or partners.
