Case study
Our client is a steel and metals trader, which since being established in 2003 has achieved year-on-year growth through all market cycles.
The transaction
Optimising cash flow is key for metals traders, particularly in times of heightened market volatility. This deal saw a metals trader client enter into a short-tenor 150-day contract with an off-taker in Asia, after which the borrower sought to leverage its receivables and secure early access to funding through Artis.
Artis Solution
Our finance solution effectively allowed the trader to secure a financing against its receivables book. Prior to the sale taking place with the buyer in Asia, Artis previously extended an uncommitted loan facility to the trader after it passed our stringent eligibility and due diligence checks.
At a later date, once the borrower entered into a contract with the off-taker in Asia, the client was then able to request a drawdown on the facility worth 90% of its receivables. After our team conducted rigorous due diligence checks on the transaction and the various counterparties, and with the trader having sourced A-rated credit insurance and agreed with the buyer to use the bank-to-bank collection process, Artis extended financing, enabling the client to secure early funding and optimise its cash flow.
