Structured Commodity Finance

Financing

Structured finance secured on commodity flows.

Pre-export, prepayment and borrowing base solutions that turn future production and sales into capital today.

Overview

Financing secured on what you produce.

Structured commodity finance lends against the commodity itself and the contracts that sell it, not just the balance sheet. This allows producers and traders in emerging markets to access international capital on stronger terms.

Lenders take security over the goods, the offtake contracts and the proceeds, usually through collection accounts and assignments, and control the flow of goods and payments throughout the transaction.
