Structured Trade Finance
Virgin Fuel Oil Trade Finance Services
We arrange capital for virgin fuel oil and related residual fuel oil transactions across import, export, and repeat cargo programs.
If your deal has real counterparties, auditable documents, and a clear settlement path, we package it for lender review and move it through execution.
Financing is not blocked by commodity demand alone. Deals fail when documents are weak, risk transfer is unclear, and payment security is not bankable.
Financely fixes that before your file reaches lenders.
We run a transaction-led process: submission, indicative term sheet, paid mandate, underwriting, lender distribution, and binary outcomes.
What We Arrange
Letter Of Credit Structures
Sight and usance LC structures for compliant counterparties, with document sets aligned to cargo reality and settlement timelines.
Payment Security Instruments
Standby structures and bank-backed payment security when counterparties require stronger settlement comfort.
Inventory And Receivables Lines
Borrowing-base style structures tied to controlled inventory, signed offtake, and verified receivables.
Multi-Cargo Program Financing
Repeat-flow mandates for traders and distributors that need disciplined capital rotation across multiple shipments.
Who This Fits
Fuel Traders And Distributors
Teams that already move product and need stronger external financing to scale without cash lock-up.
Importers With Signed Offtake
Buyers with counterparties, contracts, and vessel logistics in motion who need lender-grade packaging.
Producers And Aggregators
Sellers seeking structured payment security instead of unsecured open-account exposure.
Operators Under Deadline Pressure
Teams facing laycan, port, and settlement deadlines where poor documentation can kill the trade.
How We De-Risk Fuel Cargo Files
In fuel transactions, lenders focus on where repayment comes from and how default risk is controlled.
Our scope is built around that question.
Counterparty Verification
We map seller, buyer, and operating entities, then test whether the legal and payment chain is coherent.
Contract And Incoterm Coherence
We align SPA, invoices, logistics responsibilities, and documentary triggers so lenders can underwrite the real risk transfer.
Compliance Stack
We structure files for KYC, AML, sanctions screening, and shipping due diligence expectations before lender distribution.
Cashflow And Exit Discipline
We define a clear repayment route: cargo sale proceeds, receivable conversion, reserve logic, and control points.
Technical note:
In many deals, the term “virgin fuel oil” is used in broker channels.
Lenders usually underwrite the actual product specification, contract structure, and settlement mechanics, not label language.

Commercial policy:
financings are arranged on a best-efforts basis.
We do not promise lender approval, and we do not offer guaranteed funding outcomes.
Required Submission File
Commercial Documents
Draft or signed SPA, invoice logic, incoterm definition, and settlement waterfall.
Operational Proof
Cargo specification sheets, loading and discharge plan, vessel path, and inspection workflow.
Corporate Pack
KYC, UBO structure, bank statements, and prior trade evidence where available.
Risk Controls
Sanctions attestations, compliance narrative, and any third-party diligence already completed.
Why Clients Use Financely
We are a transaction-led capital advisory desk.
We do not run open-ended consulting calls before mandate acceptance.
We issue structure, pricing, and execution pathways in writing, then we execute.
Our role is to reduce avoidable rejection risk by fixing bankability gaps before lenders engage.
That is where most deals break, and that is where we spend most of our time.

FAQ

Do you guarantee financing approval?
No. Outcomes are best-efforts based on file quality, counterparty strength, structure fit, and lender appetite.
Can you handle urgent cargo timelines?
Yes, when documents are complete and counterparties cooperate quickly during underwriting.
What is the minimum profile for engagement?
Post-revenue companies with a defined transaction path, usable documents, and paid mandate capacity.
Do you work with first-time traders?
We can, if the deal is strongly documented and risk controls are clear. Weak files are declined early.
