Short answer. Yes, if you want a corporate finance arranger that does the work. We underwrite files internally, structure the deal, run targeted distribution to lenders, and push transactions through closing with counsel and service providers. We are not a message-passing broker chain. We are a best-efforts advisor with real process, clear fees, and strict compliance.

How Financely Differs From Loan Brokers and Broker Chains
| Typical Broker / Broker Chain | Financely Group |
|---|---|
| Passes your deck to a list and waits | Underwrites the file, writes a credit memo, and targets the right desks by corridor, tenor, currency, collateral, and limits |
| One-size pitch, light diligence | Deal-specific structure, LC text or facility term sheet, CP checklist, and document control to cut discrepancies |
| No programmatic capacity | Select forward-flow frameworks and program-style mandates with lenders, subject to credit appetite and compliance |
| Manual screening, slow feedback | AI and ML tools for KYC red flags, anomaly checks, sanction heuristics, and document parsing to speed first pass |
| Unclear regulatory footing | Chaperoned securities activity under SEC Rule 15a-6, FCA financial promotion rules, and MiFID II via licensed partners |
What We Actually Do
Underwriting Credit memo, model checks, risk mitigants, CP checklist, LC text or facility term sheet, and a distribution plan that fits lender policy
Structuring Letters of credit, SBLCs, receivables lines, inventory finance, prepay and offtake, mezzanine or holdco debt, securitization SPVs
Distribution Staged outreach to banks, DFIs, private credit funds, and confirming banks mapped to corridor, limit, and price ranges
Closing Bank KYC, legal drafts, SPV formation when needed, trustee and paying agent appointment, security filings, and CP satisfaction
Proprietary Tech: AI and ML Where It Matters
- Risk Scoring. Machine learning flags on counterpart data, jurisdictions, trade patterns, and document anomalies
- Document Parsing. Automated reads of invoices, BOL, COO, and policy schedules to cut discrepancy risk in LC workflows
- Lender Match. Program logic maps your deal to lenders with matching appetite and current limits
- Audit Trail. Time-stamped memos, changes, and approvals kept in a structured file for faster sign-off
Forward-Flow and Program Capacity
For recurring receivables or trade programs, we maintain forward-flow frameworks with select lenders. These are not blanket approvals. Each draw still passes KYC, collateral checks, and covenants. The benefit is speed. Terms and eligibility are pre-defined, so execution is cleaner when your file meets the rules.
Compliance and Regulatory Status
- Advisory Role. We act as an arranger and corporate finance advisor. We are not a bank or direct lender
- United States. Any activity that involves securities is conducted through and chaperoned by an unaffiliated U.S. broker-dealer registered with the SEC and FINRA under SEC Rule 15a-6. Private offerings rely on exemptions such as Regulation D for eligible investors
- United Kingdom. Financial promotions are made or approved by an FCA-authorised firm under FSMA 2000 and the Financial Promotion Order
- European Union. Where applicable, activity is structured in line with MiFID II via licensed partners
- KYC, AML, Sanctions. All clients, directors, shareholders, and counterparties are screened. Files that fail are declined
- Best-Efforts. No guarantees on issuance, pricing, allocations, or timelines. Bank appetite and limits change without notice
Expert Network When Needed
We keep the core in-house and bring in specialists where the deal requires it. That includes trade finance counsel, project finance modelers, M&A and Commercial Real Estate advisors, insurance brokers, trustees, and paying agents. You get a single lead to coordinate the work.
