Trade Finance Advisory and Structuring Desk
Trade finance does not fail because capital is unavailable. It fails because the file is not underwriteable. We run a document-led workflow to turn real trade flows into a lender-grade submission pack, then manage decisioning through qualified lenders and capital partners.

How The Engagement Runs
Step 1: Bankability Screen
We test the trade logic, counterparties, jurisdictions, and evidence. If the structure is not viable, we specify what must change before any outreach.
Step 2: Lender-Grade Packaging
We build the underwriting memo and submission pack, then align documentary terms and operational controls to what lenders can onboard.
Step 3: Decisioning Management
We run fit-based submissions, control the Q&A process, and push for written outcomes where available, including indicative terms or written declines with rationale.
Step 4: Term Sheet to Closing Support
We support term sheet review, conditions precedent planning, and operational setup for controls and reporting. Closing remains subject to lender approvals and definitive documents.
Who This Fits
Best Fit
- Real trade flows with verifiable counterparties and contract evidence.
- Sponsors willing to operate with institutional controls and reporting discipline.
- Clean KYC and UBO transparency across all relevant entities.
- Facilities sized realistically against eligible collateral and turnover history.
Not A Fit
- Speculative trades with no documented demand, counterparties, or delivery reality.
- Requests designed to bypass KYC, AML, or sanctions screening.
- Files that depend on vague collateral, unverified inventory, or non-enforceable controls.
- Engagements that are purely educational with no near-term transaction.
