Importers, exporters, and commodity traders do not lose transactions because banks hate trade. They lose transactions because files are incomplete, structures are unclear, and deals land on the wrong desk at the wrong time. Trade finance is still available for companies with real flows, clean documentation, and a structure a credit committee can defend.
Financely works on the sponsor side. We take your trade flows, contracts, and collateral, turn them into lender ready structures, and place those structures with banks and private credit providers that can fund them. You stay focused on operations while we focus on making the transaction bankable and presentable.
This mandate is designed for operating companies, not for paper traders or brokers with no control over the underlying flows. Typical clients include:
We expect three basics from every file. Verifiable company and ownership information, three year financials where available, and sample contracts, invoices, and shipping documents that prove the trade is real.
Every structure is built around the actual flow of goods and cash in your business, not around theoretical products that your counterparty will never accept.
You submit an RFQ with company details, trade flows, counterparties, and requested facility size. We run a feasibility check, identify obvious issues, and give an initial view on what types of structures and lenders are realistic. If there is no path, we say so early.
Once engaged, we build an issuer ready file. That usually includes a concise credit memo, financial and trade analysis, facility term sheet, and a clear description of collateral, controls, and covenants. The goal is to answer the first ten questions a credit officer will ask before the file even reaches them.
We identify suitable banks, trade finance funds, or private credit providers in our network and present the file on a best efforts basis. Feedback is captured, structures are adjusted where sensible, and commercial terms are negotiated within the client mandate.
When one or more parties issue indicative or binding terms, we help you compare them, negotiate conditions, and coordinate with your legal and accounting advisers through to signing and first drawdown. All facilities are documented and disbursed directly between you and the lender under their licence.
Trade finance mandates require time, analysis, and controlled circulation of your file. We charge a mandate retainer to cover structuring and preparation work, then a success fee that is only payable if you sign and fund a facility with a lender we introduced and a structure we helped design.
We operate on a best efforts basis. No one can force lenders to approve a file, but we can make sure your case is presented in a format that credit and risk teams can evaluate quickly and professionally.
If your company has real trade flows and you need working capital, letters of credit, or structured trade facilities from banks and private credit lenders, we can help move your file from promising to bankable.
Share your RFQ and core documents, and we will assess whether a trade finance structuring and placement mandate makes sense for your business.
