Bridge Loans for Trade Finance, M&A, and Special Situations

Short-Term Capital for Closing Gaps in Trade and Acquisition Deals


Trade and M&A deals don't wait. Sellers demand fast closing. FG Capital Advisors arranges bridge loans to secure trade shipments, complete acquisitions, and cover short-term liquidity gaps.

Our bridge loan solutions support qualified sponsors and buyers with executable contracts or LOIs. We structure short-term capital to backstop deals during the critical window before permanent funding is in place. From DLC-backed commodity trades to business acquisitions, our process moves fast — with decisions often made in weeks, not months.
