Warehouse Receipt Financing: Turn Stored Goods Into Capital

Warehouse Receipt Financing: Turn Stored Goods Into Immediate Capital ($500K–$20M+)
Stored goods shouldn't tie up your liquidity. With warehouse receipt financing, Financely helps traders, exporters, and asset-heavy businesses unlock capital by using bonded stock as collateral. We underwrite transactions from $500,000 to over $20 million, backed by verifiable warehouse receipts issued by certified or bonded storage operators.
What Is Warehouse Receipt Financing?
Warehouse receipt financing is a short-term loan secured by physical goods held in a certified warehouse. The warehouse issues a formal receipt proving title and quantity of stored inventory. This document serves as the basis for financing—typically allowing borrowers to access 60% to 85% of the market value of their goods while they await sale or shipment.
Who Uses It?
Agri-exporters:
Cocoa, sesame, maize, and rice held in bonded warehouses pre-shipment
Commodity traders:
Metals, fertilizer, crude by-products, or grains awaiting sale or LC settlement
Local aggregators:
SMEs collecting stock from producers but lacking cash for forward sales
Mining operators:
Concentrate or cathode in secure depots awaiting offtake or transit

Need More Than the Receipt Covers?
We often encounter businesses whose warehouse receipts only cover part of their capital needs. In these cases, Financely can structure additional funding
in parallel. This may include:
Assigned contract financing(if there’s a buyer or offtake agreement)
SPV-backed working capital
with blended collateral
Bridge loans
against incoming LC proceeds or sale contracts
If the transaction has strong economic logic, we can unlock 100% of the working capital needed—even beyond the value of goods held in storage.
Receipt from a vetted warehouse with verifiable controls
Valid export or local sales plan (or buyer intent)
Ability to respond to due diligence and close within 2 weeks
