Structured Commodity Finance Advisory
We design lender-grade structures and raise private capital so cargos move and cash recycles. Metals, energy, and agri flows receive pre-export lines, borrowing bases, repos, and LC support. Controls are tight. Title is clear.
What We Do
Facility blueprint, lender match, documentation, security filings, LC text alignment, CMA setup, and closing support.
Capital Raising
Private credit syndication, club deals, mezz or holdco notes, receivables and inventory lines, terming out recurring flows.
Who It Fits
Producers, processors, traders with verifiable stocks or contracts in copper, alumina, fuels, fertilizers, grains, cocoa, coffee, sugar.
Typical Terms
USD 5–100 million. 30–360 days revolving. Pricing set by collateral, route, and counterparty quality. Third-party costs paid by client.
Risk Controls
Warehouse warrants, clean title, independent inspectors, escrowed proceeds, LC confirmations, cargo insurance, hedging where needed.
Process
Week 1–2: intake and blueprint. Week 3–4: term sheet and collateral map. Week 5–8: docs, CPs, funding.
