Usance Letter of Credit Refinancing
Deferred-payment trade deals can lock cash for 30, 60, 90, or 180 days. That gap can slow the next purchase cycle and crush momentum.
FG Capital Advisors structures usance LC refinancing solutions for importers, exporters, and traders that need liquidity before maturity. We support transaction design, lender introductions, discounting pathways, and execution through closing.
