Trade Finance Lender Introduction Service
Trade Finance Lender Introductions and Term Sheet Auction
Trade deals stall when wording is unclear, KYC drags on, or banks review files that are not ready. Freight dates slip, suppliers refuse to load, and cash gets trapped in inventory. You need signed options, clear pricing, and a schedule that fits the shipment plan. This service replaces scattered outreach with a controlled lender introduction and a competitive auction that produces executable offers with defined conditions and dates.
What we do
We finalize a bank-grade package, present the case to a short list of trade finance desks and funds that fit the corridor, product, and tenor, and run a time-boxed auction. All Q&A is written and visible. Offers are normalized in a matrix that lets management and counsel decide quickly. We then lock an option and manage conditions to close.
