Bring the balance sheet. We bring the deal.
For traders, trading houses and financiers who can take title. We source the deal, verify both sides and run it from contract to delivery. You fund it and hold title. The margin is shared under a written agreement for each deal.
Prefer to fund without taking title? We work with trade financiers too.
