Trade Finance Facility Structuring Services

Transaction-Led Capital Advisory

Trade Finance Facility Structuring

We structure trade finance facilities for companies that need working capital, documentary credit capacity, and lender-ready terms. Scope includes facility design, covenant drafting logic, collateral mapping, and targeted placement with banks and private lenders.

A trade finance facility is only useful if it can be drawn, rolled, and settled without constant friction. That requires tight structure work before launch. We build the facility around the real trade cycle, not generic credit templates.

You can review the operating model in our process and service scope in our advisory coverage.

Facilities We Structure

Borrowing Base Revolving Lines

Draws against eligible receivables and inventory with advance rates, concentration limits, and control terms.

Import and Export LC Facilities

Documentary credit lines for purchase and shipment cycles, including tenor and reimbursement design.

SBLC-Supported Trade Lines

Credit support layer for counterparties that require stronger payment security before performance.

Receivables Finance Programs

Discounting and factoring pathways tied to debtor quality, dilution profile, and collection behavior.

Inventory and Warehouse Finance

Stock-linked lending with collateral control terms, inspection logic, and eligibility discipline.

Pre-Export and Structured Commodity Lines

Facilities shaped around shipment flow, offtake terms, and verified payment routes.

Where Most Facilities Break

Common failure points: weak eligibility rules, poor covenant drafting, mismatch between trade cycle and tenor, untested collateral control, and data rooms that do not support credit committee review.
