Structured Trade & Commodity Finance Platform
Working capital should power growth, not sit frozen in transit. Our team unlocks liquidity within days, backed by forward-flow lender agreements that cover USD 750 million in annual capacity. You move cargo; we move capital.
1. The Global Funding Gap
The ICC estimates a USD 2.5 trillion shortfall in trade finance (2024). Commodity flows keep expanding, yet standard credit lines lag. Producers and traders leave margin on the table when forced to pre-sell or delay shipments. Our platform closes that gap with tailored, self-liquidating structures.
2. Instrument Suite
| Instrument | Typical Tenor (days) | Collateral Stack | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-export Finance (PXF) | 90 – 270 | Offtake contracts, export insurance, assignment of proceeds | Unlock production before shipment |
| Import LC Refinance | 30 – 120 | Confirmed LC, marine cargo policy | Bridge supplier payments until buyer settlement |
| Warehouse Receipt Loan | 45 – 180 | Bonded inventory under CMA, title pledge | Monetise stock in storage |
| Receivables Discounting | 30 – 90 | Assigned invoices, credit insurance | Pull cash forward post-delivery |
| Borrowing-base Facility | Rolling | Cargo in transit plus receivables pool | Flexible draw for multi-route traders |
3. Forward-Flow Commitments
- Multi-year allocation letters from private credit funds and regional banks secure predictable liquidity for repeat borrowers.
