Commodity Trade Finance Coverage
Top 100 Commodities And Goods We Arrange Trade Finance For
Financely arranges structured capital for physical commodity flows across energy, metals, fertilizers, chemicals, polymers, agriculture, food products, and forest products.
We support mandate-level execution for import and export cycles using instruments such as letters of credit, documentary collections, borrowing base facilities, inventory-backed repo structures, pre-export finance lines, and receivables-backed funding.
If you are searching for trade finance for crude oil cargoes, letter of credit financing for copper cathodes exports, packing credit for cocoa shipments, or borrowing base lending against steel coil inventory, this page maps what we cover and how we structure it.
We finance real transaction flows. Our team handles structuring, underwriting, and lender distribution so qualified files reach decision-grade counterparties with the right control package.
How We Finance Different Commodity Classes
Letters Of Credit and Documentary Trade
Common for cross-border cargoes where shipment and document control are central, including petroleum products, base metals, grains, sugar, and fertilizers.
Borrowing Base and Inventory-Backed Lines
Used where stock monitoring, collateral control, and advance rates drive availability, including metals, energy inventories, and warehouse-backed flows.
Pre-Export and Packing Credit
Built for exporters needing procurement, processing, and logistics capital before shipment, with strong use in agro commodities and softs.
Offtake-Backed Structures
Applied where contracts with credible off-takers support repayment logic, especially in metals, chemicals, and recurring export programs.
