Trade Finance Diagnostic | Is Your Deal Financeable? | Financely

Is Your Trade Deal Actually Financeable?

Most trade finance requests fail for avoidable reasons. The goods may be real and the counterparties real, but the file still collapses because repayment logic is weak, controls are missing, or the structure does not match lender expectations.

This diagnostic gives you a clear view on feasibility, gaps, and next steps so you know exactly where you stand before spending time on lender outreach that may go nowhere.

Please note: This is a diagnostic review only. It is not a lending commitment, underwriting approval, or guarantee of financing.

What We Review

We look at the parts of a trade that lenders actually care about.

Counterparties

Supplier and buyer quality, commercial credibility, and whether the parties support lender confidence.

Use of Proceeds and Structure

What the capital is funding and whether the structure is transaction-led and lender-readable.

Repayment Logic

How the financing is repaid from the trade itself, cash flow capture, and control points.

Documents and Controls

Contracts, invoices, logistics documents, title, and whether the file supports visibility for a lender.

What You Receive

A practical written assessment, not a generic report.

Feasibility Opinion

A written view on whether the trade appears financeable in its current form.

Gap Analysis

Key weaknesses, missing items, and likely lender objections.

Structure Direction

Most plausible financing route and what would need to change.

Readiness Notes

Practical comments on what to correct before any live distribution.

Best suited for importers, exporters, distributors, and commodity traders with a live purchase order, SPA, invoice, or defined trade flow. Not for generic business plans or undocumented enquiries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the review guarantee financing?

No. It is a diagnostic. Any later financing remains subject to underwriting, documentation, and third-party approval.

What if the deal is not financeable?

You learn early, with a clear explanation of the gaps, instead of wasting time on outreach that cannot succeed.

Can you help after the diagnostic?

Yes. If the transaction is suitable, we can support structuring and placement under a separate engagement.

What are the deliverables?

A written feasibility opinion, gap analysis, structure direction, and commercial readiness notes that show exactly what needs to change before lender outreach.
