Key Questions
How do fees work
Fixed structuring retainer and a success fee on funded amounts. Bank and third-party costs are paid directly by the client.
Who provides funding
Trade banks and private credit lenders active in commodity flows. We match by commodity, corridor, and ticket size.
What can block funding
Weak title, poor stock visibility, sanction flags, or gaps in insurance and CMA. We fix structure and documentation before go-live.
What we do not do
We do not lend our own balance sheet or guarantee returns. We arrange and manage a clean path to close with credible lenders.
