Trade Finance

Our alternative lending venue is available for all commodity trading purposes that involve Documentary Letter of Credit (DLC). It is quick and efficient when financing of a lucrative transaction but conventional bank loan seems to be difficult and subject to a lengthy process.

 

We finance your Commodity trade as follows:

Assuming you are engaged in commodity trade as follows:

 

You deal bulk commodity trading or valuable equipment that require Documentary Letter of Credit (DLC) for exchange

 

You have a direct end-buyer for the product and you can enter into a Purchase Agreement with your end-buyer

 

And you have a direct seller or manufacturer of the product and you can enter into a Sales Agreement with them

 

With this in place however, you may be short of funds or credit line to materialize such trade by yourself.

 

Under these circumstances, we can collaborate with you and issue the required DLC to your seller on your behalf based upon a Profit Sharing Scheme.

 

For further details, please contact us by email explaining the nature and volume of your commodity trade. We will be glad to discus and configure the trade with you in short time.
