Trade Finance Advisors

Banks and trade finance funds approve transactions they can control. That means a creditworthy counterparty, clean title to the goods, documents that match, and collections that flow back to the lender. Most declined trade finance requests fail on one of those points, not on the commercial deal itself.

FG Capital Advisors works for importers, exporters, and commodity traders. We structure the transaction around what lenders and issuing banks require, then place it with institutions whose mandate fits the goods, the corridor, and the size.

What We Advise On

Letters of Credit

Import and export LCs, usance and deferred payment terms, confirmation, and discounting. We review the credit terms and document requirements before issuance, when a mistake is still cheap to fix. See letter of credit issuance.

Standby LCs and Guarantees

Payment SBLCs, performance and advance payment guarantees, and SBLC monetization where the issuer and wording meet lender standards.

Structured Commodity Finance

Pre-export finance, transactional facilities, and back-to-back structures for metals, energy, and agricultural goods, with title flow, collateral management, and offtake built into the credit case.

Inventory and Receivables Facilities

Borrowing-base facilities, warehouse receipt finance, and receivables programs, with eligibility criteria, advance rates, and cash controls a lender can monitor.

How We Work

  1. You request an estimate and send the transaction details, including the goods, counterparties, route, amount, and payment terms. We reply with the scope and fee.
  2. We review the trade the way a credit committee will, covering counterparty strength, title transfer, documents, sanctions exposure, and the repayment path.
  3. We structure the facility and prepare the credit file, including the term sheet, collateral and control arrangements, and the document checklist.
  4. We approach banks and trade finance funds with a matching mandate, compare terms, and coordinate through documentation and first drawdown.

Banks and lenders make their own credit decisions. Approval, pricing, and terms depend on their diligence, and funding is not guaranteed.
