Trade Finance Deal Room For Professional Borrowers And Note Investors
TradeMeld screens trade and commodity finance deals, organises them in a lender ready format, and connects companies with professional lenders investing in junior, mezzanine and senior trade notes.
Professional and accredited parties only. No retail investors.
For Companies Seeking Trade Capital
You run real trade flows and need capital that matches your orders, contracts and collateral instead of generic cash flow loans. TradeMeld is built for that.We focus on importers, exporters, commodity traders, distributors and wholesalers with documented trades, clear buyers and sellers, and security that a credit team can underwrite.Typical features of deals we show to lenders:
Working capital for pre shipment and post shipment trade
Facilities against receivables, inventories and contracts
Junior, mezzanine and senior structures sized to realistic collateral values
Ticket sizes starting from mid market volumes, not micro loans
Clear documents: contracts, invoices, shipping and warehouse evidence, guarantees or standby support where relevant
Bring your trade flows, documents and security. The goal is simple: turn a scattered set of files into a clean, lender ready package that can attract serious term sheets.
For Lenders Investing In Trade Notes
You want secured trade and commodity finance exposure without wasting hours on incomplete pitches and chaotic data rooms. TradeMeld filters deals before they hit your desk.We work with private credit funds, trade finance funds, banks, non bank lenders, family offices and credit allocators that already understand trade risk and want clearer deal flow.What you can expect:
Curated trade notes and facilities with defined use of proceeds and structure
Filters by country, sector, tenor, seniority and security type
Deals pre screened for basic eligibility, documentation quality and KYC readiness
Data packs shared only after interest and NDAs are in place, not before
You decide your ticket size, risk appetite and mandate. We aim to cut out noise, not your risk process.
How TradeMeld Works
1
Submit Deal Or Lender Profile
Companies outline their trade flows, counterparties, goods, security, requested facility size and structure. Lenders define countries, sectors, instruments, ticket size and risk appetite.
2
Screening And Packaging
TradeMeld checks basic eligibility, makes sure documents are coherent, and prepares a concise deal summary. Contracts, invoices, collateral details and flow history sit behind that summary.
3
Matching And Secure Sharing
Compatible lenders receive anonymised summaries first. Once they confirm interest and an NDA is signed, access is granted to the full data pack in a structured format.
4
Term Sheets And Closing With Regulated Partners
Term sheets, facility agreements, note documents and security are negotiated and closed through regulated banks, brokers, trustees and legal counsel. TradeMeld stays in the arranging and coordination role.
Structures And Instruments
Senior Trade Finance
Pre export and pre import finance
Borrowing base and revolving trade facilities
LC backed receivables, discounting and confirmations
Junior And Mezzanine Capital
Subordinated trade working capital
Second loss and mezzanine notes above senior bank lines
Structured payment in kind or profit linked trade notes
Security Packages
Pledges over inventory and warehouse receipts
Assignments of receivables, offtake and contract rights

Cash margins and controlled collection accounts
We are interested in trade that can be described, priced and monitored, not in stories with no verifiable collateral.
Who Should Use TradeMeld
| Typical Companies | Typical Deals |
|---|---|
| Importers and exporters with repeat transactions and visible trade history | Expanding trade volumes beyond existing bank lines |
| Commodity traders in energy, metals, agriculture and soft commodities | Refinancing expensive short term cash loans into trade backed structures |
| Distributors and wholesalers with recurring orders and credit worthy buyers | Filling equity or collateral gaps on trade backed projects with mezzanine notes |
Every transaction needs documented flows, realistic sizing and a sponsor who answers questions quickly. If that is not in place, it will not be a fit.
Screened Deal Flow, Not Message Board Noise
TradeMeld focuses on structure and clarity. Each transaction follows a consistent template so credit teams can decide fast whether to proceed or pass.Summaries set out:
Goods, counterparties and Incoterms
Trade cycle and payment terms
Requested structure, seniority and expected returns
Collateral, security and monitoring arrangements
Behind each summary sit the contracts, invoices, shipping records, warehouse receipts, guarantees and track record that a lender will need for proper due diligence. Basic KYC, AML and sanctions checks are carried out before a deal moves deeper into discussions.
