Trade Finance Structuring & Distribution

Financely structures, underwrites, and distributes trade finance facilities for real operating companies. We take your trade flows, contracts, and counterparties, turn them into lender-grade structures, and run a targeted process with specialist banks and private credit funds. If you have recurring trades and a proper data room, we help you move from “interesting opportunity” to a file that serious lenders can approve.

Two Mandates For Serious Trade Sponsors
Option 1: Trade Finance Deal Structuring

Engagement fee: USD 5,000 flat, payable on mandate signature, non-refundable.

For operating companies that want a lender-grade structure and a direct view on bankability before a full raise.

  • Analyse the trade: review trade flows, Incoterms, contracts, pricing, buyers, suppliers, and key jurisdictions.
  • Define structure and controls: select between borrowing base, LC-backed, pre-export, inventory, or receivables structures and set collateral, security, and monitoring.
  • Deliverables: concise structuring memo, short term sheet outline, and a readiness checklist for underwriting and lender contact.

No lender outreach at this stage; this is the filter that tells you if the trade merits a full underwriting and distribution process.

  • Underwriting: commercial and financial review of the borrower, trade flows, track record, and cash cycle.
  • Lender pack and outreach: lender information memorandum, detailed term sheet, model where relevant, and targeted approach to banks, funds, and LPs that fund structured trade risk.
  • Process to close: manage Q&A, credit questions, and support through approvals, documentation, conditions precedent, and first drawdown.

Available only for real operating businesses with contracts, a prepared data room, and structures that pass our initial screen. All mandates are best-efforts and subject to KYC/AML, sanctions checks, and independent lender approvals.
