Trade Finance Services

At FG Capital Advisors, we specialize in providing comprehensive trade finance solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients, both within the United States and across the globe, including the EMEA and Asia regions.

Our expertise lies in facilitating smooth and efficient trade transactions through structured commodity finance and a broad spectrum of financing methods for a wide range of goods. Our services are designed to support your business's growth by enhancing liquidity, managing risks, and optimizing the trade cycle.

Our Trade Finance Solutions

• Structured Commodity Finance: Ideal for clients dealing in commodities, this solution offers financing based on the underlying value of the commodities being traded. It is particularly beneficial for transactions involving oil, metals, and agricultural products, providing a secure framework that aligns with the complexities and risks associated with commodity trading.
• Letters of Credit (LCs): LCs are a fundamental tool in international trade, offering a guarantee from FG Capital Advisors to the seller that payment will be made on time and in full, conditional upon the delivery of goods or services in accordance with the terms specified.
• Invoice Financing: This method allows businesses to unlock the value of their accounts receivable earlier in the trade cycle. By advancing funds against outstanding invoices, companies can improve cash flow and continue to expand without waiting for payment terms to conclude.
• Supply Chain Financing: Tailored to strengthen the supply chain, this solution provides financing to suppliers based on the creditworthiness of the buyer, ensuring that suppliers receive timely payments, which, in turn, secures the supply chain and optimizes working capital.
• Export and Import Financing: Designed to support the import and export of goods, this financing solution covers various stages of the trade process, from pre-shipment to post-shipment finance, helping businesses manage the cash flow gap between receiving goods and payment processing.
