Base Metals Trade Finance
Base metals trading is a working capital race. The firms that scale are the ones that can secure supply, prove control of goods, and present lender-ready documentation without wasting weeks on avoidable back-and-forth.
We support base metals traders with private capital introductions and bank-ready structuring for copper, tin, nickel, aluminium, zinc, lead, cobalt, and manganese. Our focus is simple. Build a credible funding pathway for repeat trades, not a one-off solution that traps cash and limits growth.
Request A QuoteBase Metals Trade Finance Outcomes for Repeatable Monthly Flows
This service is designed to turn real trade activity into fundable structures that lenders can monitor and scale.
- Faster access to lenders that already understand base metals risk and control frameworks.
- Higher approval probability through a clean, committee-ready submission file.
- More predictable liquidity for multi-cargo and multi-buyer programs.
- Reduced reliance on deposits and informal security that weaken margins.
- Clear structure selection across concentrates, cathodes, ingots, and semi-finished products.
Copper Trade Finance for Concentrate Cathode Blister and Scrap
Copper finance differs by product form and control profile. Lenders want clear evidence on quality, pricing references, logistics, and buyer credibility.
- Documentary LC structures for spot and contract flows.
- Borrowing base facilities tied to inventory and receivables control.
- Prepayment and offtake-linked structures for credible producers and aggregators.
- Receivables finance for approved industrial buyers.
A tight assay, inspection, and chain-of-custody plan is not optional in a serious copper submission.
Tin Trade Finance for Concentrate and Ingot Supply
Tin is often tighter on origin scrutiny and buyer concentration. Strong documentation and traceability materially change lender response.
- LC and confirmed LC solutions for repeat import and distribution channels.
- Inventory and receivables-backed working capital for established traders.
- Structures that align with compliance expectations where the route requires extra comfort.
Nickel Aluminium Zinc Lead Cobalt and Manganese Trade Finance
We also support structuring and lender introductions for a broader base metals set, subject to route, origin, product specification, and counterparty strength.
- Nickel and cobalt supply linked to industrial and energy transition demand.
- Aluminium, zinc, and lead for manufacturing and infrastructure buyers.
- Manganese flows where documentation, specs, and logistics are lender-ready.
The most bankable files show disciplined quality control, realistic margins, and repeatable trade history.
