Frequently Asked Questions
What transaction sizes are suitable for this workstream?
The strongest fit is usually USD 5 million and above, with scope depending on collateral quality, buyer strength, jurisdiction, reporting readiness, tenor and security package. Smaller transactions may be reviewed when documentation is strong and the route to funding is clear.
Which collateral types can support asset-backed and commodity finance?
Common collateral types include confirmed receivables, insured receivables, warehouse receipts, inventory, in-transit goods, equipment, repo-eligible commodities, contracted revenues and selected project cash flows. The lender will focus on control, valuation, liquidity, title, insurance and enforceability.
What is the typical timeline from mandate to first funding?
A clean file can move into lender review within two to four weeks. Closing timelines usually depend on KYC, collateral review, legal documentation, insurance, valuations, local-law issues and credit committee scheduling. Multi-jurisdiction transactions often require longer.
Can higher-risk jurisdictions be financed?
Yes, where the structure has enough risk controls. Lenders will usually require stronger documentary evidence, tighter cash controls, better insurance, higher margins, stronger offtakers, clearer local-law security and a practical exit route if the transaction deteriorates.
Do you provide regulated lending, deposits, custody, trading or portfolio management?
No. We advise on corporate finance preparation, structuring, transaction materials, lender engagement and execution coordination. Regulated activities are executed directly with licensed institutions or through appropriate regulated channels where required.
How are services priced?
Pricing depends on scope, file quality, transaction complexity, urgency and the level of preparatory work required before lender engagement. Mandates may involve setup fees, advisory fees, structuring fees, success fees or monitoring fees depending on the transaction.
