01 Analysis

The process initiates with an in-depth analysis of the client's financial needs and transaction details. Key documents, such as Information Memorandums, are reviewed to understand the trade specifics, including the commodities and markets involved. This step involves a thorough risk assessment, credit analysis, and market research to establish a detailed financial profile of the client.


Here is a conditions precedent checklist for successfully structuring trade finance transactions.

02 Structuring

In the structuring phase, a detailed financial model is developed. This includes selecting appropriate financial instruments (like syndicated loans or revolving credit facilities) and defining their terms. Critical at this stage is the involvement of credit rating agencies, which assess the creditworthiness of the transaction, influencing the terms and cost of finance. The structure aims to balance risk, cost-effectiveness, and regulatory compliance.

03 Documents

Here, essential documents like term sheets, loan agreements, and risk mitigation instruments are prepared. The documentation phase also involves creating or reviewing existing Information Memorandums that provide comprehensive details about the transaction for potential financiers. 

04 Syndication

The syndication step involves presenting the structured deal to potential financiers, which can include investment banks, commercial banks, and institutional investors. The goal is to secure commitments for funding. This phase is crucial for determining the final terms of financing, influenced by the lenders' risk appetite and market conditions.

05 Legal Review

Once financiers have committed, a thorough legal review of all transaction documents is conducted. This ensures that the agreements are legally sound and enforceable. This step also involves finalizing any collateral arrangements and ensuring all regulatory requirements are met.

06 Disbursement

The final step is the disbursement of funds, where the financial resources are released as per the agreed structure. This step marks the culmination of the trade finance distribution process, enabling the client to execute their trade plans with the assured backing of the necessary capital.
