Raising money for physical commodity transactions can feel like a tricky puzzle, especially if you’re a new player juggling supply chain demands. At Financely, we focus on the building blocks of a stable trade cycle.
That means checking purchase orders, discussing shipping documents, and confirming that your chosen logistics partners have a solid track record.
Are you worried about currency swings or shipping delays? We get it—these market hiccups can rattle nerves and create unexpected costs. Our approach aims to quell those jitters by crafting trade finance solutions that anchor your business from day one.
We measure timelines, examine each counterparty’s reliability, and keep an eye on overall trade flow so you don’t end up stuck with unsold goods or stranded capital.
Sometimes a single letter of credit does the trick. Other times, you might need a back-to-back letter of credit (LC) plus a standby letter of credit (SLOC).
That’s where we step in. Our role as an NBFC involves using every tool at our disposal—DLC (documentary letter of credit), UPAs LC, or even trade credit insurance—to shield your firm from buyer defaults.
We love seeing clients breathe easier once they realize these instruments can remove a massive chunk of uncertainty. Picture yourself shipping metals across an ocean, confident that your funds are locked in by a robust LC structure. Feeling safe enough to sleep at night is a game-changer.
Our deal underwriting process also goes deeper than basic verification. We pore over supply contracts, validate end-buyer commitments, and figure out if a private placement (Reg D) might be the right channel to bring in accredited investors for expanded transactions.
Many startups face a classic headache: how to keep cash flowing when new orders surge. Our solution often involves asset-backed securities (backed by receivables) designed to convert your invoices into tradeable assets.
Picture a pile of receivables from a solid roster of buyers—those documents can be packaged and sold, freeing up funds for your next deal.
We also highlight self-liquidating loan setups, where proceeds from the commodity sale settle the initial credit. Less clutter on your balance sheet, fewer sleepless nights. This model pairs well with risk mitigation strategies, whether you’re transporting coffee beans or crude oil.
You might worry that market upheavals could derail everything, and yes, things can get turbulent. That’s why we stand ready to adjust financing arrangements if your trade cycle or buyer terms shift. Our goal is to steer you through each phase, from purchase order to final sale, with a financing blueprint that fits your unique path in the commodity sector.
