Trade Finance Advisory
Trade Finance Advisory
1. The Cash Crunch
Containers idle at port while your margin bleeds. Banks cap credit lines without warning. A minor documentary error freezes payment and the whole voyage grinds to a halt. If your working capital plan hinges on “everything goes right,” you’re already courting trouble.
2. Our Straightforward Fix
We map every step—from purchase order to final invoice—then bolt on structures that release cash and cage risk. Price shocks, logistics delays, counterparty jitters: each gets a trigger that flips funding or protection into gear before the bleeding turns fatal.
- Clear credit-cover targets tied to real stress tests
- Title-tracking and payment-control clauses that stop asset leakage
- Hedge overlays to keep FX and commodity swings from gutting spreads
- Always-on monitoring so red flags pop early, not after the loss
3. Instruments On Tap
- Confirmed Letters of Credit – Documentary control and bank payment certainty
- Receivables Discounting & Factoring – Turn outstanding invoices into near-cash
- Borrowing-Base & Repo Lines – Liquidity that rises and falls with stock on hand
- Pre-Export & Pre-Payment Facilities – Advance funding secured by offtake contracts
- Credit & Political-Risk Insurance – Wraps that survive sovereign tantrums
- FX & Commodity Hedges – Lock in spreads the trading book can live with
4. Engagement Roadmap
- Pre-Screen – Share draft contracts, counterparties, voyage plan, cash-flow model
- Mandate – Sign the advisory letter and cover due-diligence costs
- Full-Bore Audit – On-site stock checks, sanctions sweep, model stress tests
- Structuring & Placement – Term-sheet negotiation with banks, insurers, hedge desks
- Execution – Instruments issued, hedges booked, control terms locked
- Monitoring – Cargo tracking, covenant tests, action playbook for alarms
5. Why Clients Stick Around
- Direct lines to trade desks, speciality funds, and underwriters across Europe, the Gulf, and Asia
- Team members who’ve handled piracy claims and moisture disputes at dawn, not just in slide decks
- Fee schedule chained to risk-reduction milestones—no hiding behind buzzwords
- Digital cockpit for document flow, vessel location, and compliance updates
6. Red Flags to Dodge
- Unconfirmed LCs backed by issuers with shaky FX reserves
- Private-warehouse receipts where the collateral manager doubles as the borrower’s landlord
- “All-risk” cargo cover that quietly carves out sweat, rust, or condensation
- Back-to-back contracts with a middle party that owns nothing but a laptop

Placement of credit cover, collateral facilities, or hedges depends on third-party approval and signed documents. Any misrepresentation triggers termination and mandatory reporting under AML & CTF rules.
