Structured Trade Finance Advisory Services
We advise producers and traders on secured working capital tied to real cargo, storage, and receivable flows. Our job is to map collateral, set clear borrowing rules, and build a facility that pays down from sales proceeds. We handle structure, lender case, term sheets, and closing mechanics so cash moves on time.
Structures we cover
- Pre Export Finance Advances against export contracts with proceeds assignment and shipment checks
- Borrowing Base Revolvers Availability set by eligible inventory and receivables with redetermination
- Inventory or Repo Title transfer against warehouse or tank receipts with buyback at set terms
- Receivables Discounting Early payment against invoices with or without credit insurance
- Offtake Prepayments Buyer or financier prepayment secured against future deliveries
- SBLC and Guarantee Programs Support for performance and payment obligations
Controls we insist on
- Assignment of proceeds and account control with waterfall
- Third party inspectors and collateral managers at storage and load points
- Warehouse and tank receipts, tripartite agreements, and release rules
- Quality, weight, and assay reconciliation by shipment
- Hedging link for price risk where relevant
- KYC, sanctions screening, and document checks on counterparties
Objective. A secured, self liquidating facility that matches drawdowns to cargo movement and collections.
Parameters and Eligibility
| Topic | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Facility size | USD 5 million to 250 million. Larger with syndication. |
| Tenor | Transactional 30 to 180 days. RCF up to 2 years with clean down tests. |

Straight talk. If storage is weak, documents are messy, or buyer credit is unclear, advance rates fall and timelines slip. We fix those points first.
