Pre-Export Finance for Commodity Producers
Pre-Export Finance (PXF) provides producers with upfront liquidity against future export receivables. Financely structures PXF facilities for oil, gas, metals, and agricultural exporters, advancing cash secured against export contracts and offtake agreements. This unlocks working capital to cover production, logistics, and tax obligations before shipment without forcing an early sale at a discount.
“PXF funding released $45m ahead of harvest season. It stabilized our operations and gave us leverage in offtake negotiations.”
