Jet A1 Trade Finance
Jet A1 transactions are execution-sensitive. If payment terms, documentation, and margin are not structured correctly, supply windows can collapse.
FG Capital Advisors supports Jet A1 trade finance mandates with LC and SBLC structuring, targeted bank introductions, margin-gap planning, and execution support through closing.

Structures We Arrange
| Structure | Use Case | Repayment Logic | Main Underwriting Focus |
|---|---|---|---|

| Standby Letter Of Credit | Performance or payment security under supply obligations. | Applicant reimbursement under draw conditions. | Trigger terms, exposure controls, and covenant design. |
| Back-To-Back LC | Intermediary trades linking upstream and downstream obligations. | Synchronized settlement across both instruments. | Term mirroring, timing discipline, and discrepancy risk. |
| Borrowing Base Line | Repeated cycles supported by inventory and receivables. | Controlled sales proceeds and covenant monitoring. | Eligibility rules, concentration limits, and reporting quality. |
| Margin Support Layer | Applicant needs help closing a collateral shortfall. | Structured support tied to approved credit framework. | Counterparty acceptability and legal enforceability. |

Why Jet A1 Files Get Rejected
- Weak document discipline. Trade and finance terms are not aligned.
