"Financely structured a $120 million pre-export finance facility backed by our soybean off-take contracts with major Asian buyers. Their expertise in commodity price hedging and borrowing base structuring helped us secure non-recourse funding at attractive rates. The deal closed smoothly despite volatile markets. Highly professional team."

Financely designed a tailored warehouse receipt finance program with independent collateral management and an insurance wrap. Their attention to collateral verification and speed of execution unlocked working capital when we needed it most."
"Financely arranged a complex commodity repo structure for our aluminum stockpiles, providing off-balance-sheet financing while retaining upside exposure. Their understanding of LME pricing dynamics and counterparty risk mitigation made this the most efficient funding solution we have executed."

The true sale structure and credit enhancement workstream gave banks the comfort needed to advance at 90%. This materially improved our cash flow."

With independent inspections and price floor protection, we accessed seasonal liquidity without diluting equity. Their understanding of sustainability-linked structures added value in discussions with impact investors."

Their ability to coordinate ECAs, commercial banks, and hedging counterparties delivered a $250 million structure on competitive terms. Strong execution across parties and timelines."
