Financely Group is a trade finance specialist that turns purchase orders and supply contracts into bankable credit files. We structure letters of credit under UCP 600 or ISP98, standby LCs, DLCs, UPAS terms, documentary collections, confirmations, and borrowing-base lines on receivables and inventory. The goal is simple. Get you approved by a real credit committee and funded on terms you can live with.

If you lack collateral, we bring a third party with a balance sheet. You sit first loss, they post margin, and they take security and step-in rights. Fees start at the beginning because real work starts at the beginning. KYC, credit analysis, collateral design, legal drafting, and bank approvals do not happen for free or after the fact.

This is not email forwarding. We build the credit memo, paper the structure, and place the file through a lender network of 50 plus lenders that deploy over 350 million dollars per year. Goods alone are not control collateral. Banks want cash margin, pledged marketable securities under control agreements, or audited receivables and inventory with field exams and reporting.

You get a clean path from inquiry to issuance. Standard instruments, tight terms, clear covenants, and payment triggers that work. If you want a real outcome, bring first-loss capital and move quickly. If you want a free instrument, move on.

FAQ

What does a trade finance specialist do?
We design a bankable structure, set collateral and first loss, draft the instrument terms, run KYC and credit, coordinate legal, and place the file with lenders that can fund it.

Can you arrange an LC with no upfront fees?
No. Credit work, legal drafting, confirmations, and third-party margin all cost money before issuance. Upfront fees reflect time, capital, and liability.

I have no collateral. Can I still proceed?
Yes, if you accept first loss and engage a credible third party to post margin or a guarantee. Expect security, step-in rights, an upfront premium, and an annual fee.

Which instruments do you arrange?
Letters of credit, standby LCs, DLCs, UPAS terms, confirmations, documentary collections, and receivables or inventory lines with borrowing-base reporting.

What do you need to start?
Company KYC, UBO IDs, recent financials, bank statements, the core contract with Incoterms and shipment windows, and details on available collateral or a proposed guarantor.
