Trade Finance Lender Introductions and Term Sheet Auction
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 you receive:
2–4 signed term sheets, a side-by-side terms matrix, a written Q&A log, and a week-by-week closing plan. US access is available under SEC Rule 15a-6 via a chaperoned US broker-dealer. Selection comes down to bankability and rate acceptance.
Executable offers
Signed term sheets, not soft indications
Comparable terms
Rates, fees, covenants, collateral on one page
