Logistics debt financing
Growth, asset-backed and structured debt for logistics, maritime, mobility and transport businesses seeking facilities from USD 5m upwards.
The financing decision
Choose the structure around the operating reality
Debt capacity depends on the durability of contracted volumes, asset utilisation, margin after pass-through costs and the lender's control over receivables and financed assets.
We begin with the commercial objective, the amount and timing of capital, the evidence available and the authority to run the transaction. The resulting route can then be tested against realistic investor, lender or buyer criteria.
Typical uses of capital
- Fleet, vessel or equipment acquisition
- Warehouse and network expansion
- Contract mobilisation and working capital
- Refinancing and acquisition financing
