Trade Finance

Supply Chain Financing Solutions

The specialized trade finance instruments your bank cannot offer — sourced, structured, and delivered by advisors who have sat on the bank's side of the table for over 30 years.

Bridging the Trade Finance Gap

Canadian SME exporters and importers often find that major Canadian banks are unable to provide the specialized supply chain financing solutions needed to compete globally. We bridge that gap — connecting you with tailored instruments including receivables financing, payables finance, purchase order financing, and structured trade credit facilities from specialized lenders and international financial institutions.

Whether you're managing cash flow gaps, financing overseas inventory, or securing working capital for large export contracts, we provide expert guidance and direct access to solutions your bank simply cannot offer.

Receivables & Payables Finance

Unlock working capital tied up in your international trade receivables, or extend supplier payment terms through structured payables finance programs — improving cash flow without adding traditional bank debt.

Purchase Order Financing

Secure funding against confirmed purchase orders to fulfill large export contracts or overseas supply orders — without depleting working capital or diluting equity. Ideal for fast-growing SMEs winning contracts beyond their current capacity.

Structured Trade Credit Facilities

Access customized trade credit structures from specialized lenders and international financial institutions — designed specifically for cross-border supply chain transactions that fall outside conventional bank lending criteria.

Strategic Finance

Fractional CFO & International Financial Strategy

CFO-level financial expertise — focused entirely on your international business objectives, available without the cost of a full-time hire.

International Financial Modelling & Planning

Many SMEs pursuing export growth or cross-border sourcing lack the in-house financial expertise to model, plan, and present their international projects effectively — whether to lenders, investors, or EDC. We bridge that gap with fractional CFO-level support focused entirely on your international business objectives.

  • Custom financial models for export and market entry projects
  • Cash flow forecasting for cross-border supply chains
  • Working capital assessment and gap analysis
  • Bottom-up budgeting, forecasting, and variance reporting
  • Business plans and financial projections for lenders and investors

Trade Finance Structuring & Presentation

Our advisors have sat on the bank's side of the table for over 30 years — and know exactly what lenders, EDC, and international financial institutions need to see before approving trade finance facilities. We help you prepare presentations that get results.

  • Trade finance structuring analysis and instrument selection
  • Investor-ready financial presentations for Board and senior management
  • Capital needs review and lender-ready documentation
