Structured Trade Finance Placement

You have the supplier, the vetted buyer, and the executed contract. Traditional commercial banks still reject the transaction because you lack 100% cash collateral. We engineer the bridge.

Financely Group acts as your dedicated arranger for high-value cross-border trade. We structure the transaction architecture, often isolating risk via Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), author the institutional credit memorandum, and syndicate your request directly to our network of alternative trade finance funds, private credit syndicates, and issuing platforms.

Trade facilities we structure

We arrange capital specifically designed for the physical movement of goods. We secure facilities based on the underlying commodity value and the strength of the end-buyer contracts, not just your corporate balance sheet.

Letter of Credit (LC / SBLC) Issuance

We secure the issuance of Documentary Letters of Credit (DLC) and Standby Letters of Credit (SBLC) from top-tier institutions to satisfy your supplier requirements. We specialize in uncollateralized structuring via alternative funding syndicates.

Purchase Order (PO) Financing

When you secure a large contract but lack the liquidity to procure the goods, we arrange direct PO financing. The lender pays the supplier directly, allowing you to fulfill massive institutional or government contracts without depleting working capital.

Turnkey Issuance & Monetization

For clients who need to discount an instrument, we align the issuance of the SBLC or Bank Guarantee directly with a monetization route. This ensures you have the liquid capital required to execute complex commodity trades.

Accounts Receivable Factoring

We place non-recourse factoring facilities to accelerate your cash conversion cycle. Instead of waiting 30 to 90 days for buyer payments, we secure lines that advance up to 90% of the invoice value immediately upon shipment.

The Placement Execution

Trade finance requires speed and exact contractual alignment. We begin by analyzing your supplier agreements, end-buyer contracts, and logistical frameworks. We structure the necessary legal safeguards, draft the transactional credit memo, and immediately distribute the request to our active network of alternative trade lenders and family offices. We manage the dialogue from initial presentation to the final term sheet negotiation.

Frequently asked questions

What commodities do you typically arrange finance for?

We execute transactions across a variety of hard and soft commodities, including petroleum products (EN590, Jet A1), raw metals, agricultural exports (sugar, grain, soybeans), and manufactured industrial goods.

What is the minimum transaction volume?

To justify the structuring costs and appeal to our institutional network, we generally target a minimum face value of USD 5,000,000 per transaction or revolving facility.

Are these facilities non-recourse?

We heavily prioritize non-recourse or limited-recourse structuring. By utilizing Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) and relying on credit insurance or the end-buyer's financial strength, we work to isolate the debt from your primary corporate entity.

How is Financely Group compensated?

We charge a flat, upfront advisory retainer to cover the extensive financial engineering, SPV architecture, memo preparation, and active market syndication required to secure a term sheet for uncollateralized trades. This retainer includes our standard conditional refund guarantee.
