Structured Trade Finance Advisory Services

Important. Marketing material, not advice or a commitment to arrange financing. Structures depend on counterparty strength, collateral quality, KYC and sanctions checks, and documentation. Engagement terms available on request.

Structured Trade Finance Advisory Services

We support importers, exporters, and commodity traders with funding and risk transfer that track the physical flow. Mandates cover letters of credit and confirmations, SBLCs and guarantees, pre-export and inventory borrowing-base facilities, receivables purchase and forfaiting, and supplier finance programs.

Core Capabilities

  • LC issuance and confirmation under UCP600; guarantees and SBLCs under URDG758 or ISP98
  • Trade credit insurance placement, limit management, and claims coordination
  • Collateral control: title transfer, warehouse receipts, collateral managers
  • FX coordination aligned with shipment and payment terms

Use Cases

  • Pre-export finance against contracted offtake
  • In-transit and in-warehouse inventory financing
  • Receivables purchase with or without recourse and LC confirmations
  • Supplier early-pay programs for seasonal peaks or shipment bunching

Outcome. Liquidity matched to the trade cycle, clear risk transfer, and bankable documents around presentation, title, and proceeds.

Process and Negotiation Priorities

Process

  • Weeks 1 to 2. Map routes and Incoterms, collateral diagnostics, counterparty review, availability profile, bank or insurer longlist
  • Weeks 3 to 4. Targeted outreach, NDAs, data room, LC and insurance term alignment
  • Weeks 5 and beyond. Proposals, pricing and tenor, confirmations or policies binding, documentation (LC terms, assignment of proceeds, borrowing-base mechanics), closing and first draw

What We Optimise

  • Advance rates, reserves, eligible goods, concentration limits
  • Presentation standards, discrepancy risk, reinstatement language
  • Silent versus confirmed structures, recourse terms, cure periods
  • Insurance scope and exclusions, sanctions and AML clauses, claims timelines
  • Interplay with existing bank lines, intercreditor terms, cash controls
