By combining commercial expertise with a robust funding structure, Falcon enabled both buyer and supplier to achieve their commercial objectives without disrupting established trading relationships.
Executive Summary
Programme At A Glance
The Situation
The Commercial Challenge
The client required a funding solution that could strengthen supplier relationships, secure the long term availability of strategic commodities and improve working capital across the supply chain.
Traditional financing structures often introduce additional complexity, limit flexibility or place greater pressure on balance sheets.
The client required a commercial solution that would provide early payment to suppliers while allowing commodity deliveries and commercial operations to continue under existing contractual arrangements.
The Approach
Falcon's Solution
Falcon designed and implemented a structured Flash Title Prepayment programme tailored to the client's commercial requirements.
Falcon provided advance funding to the supplier in exchange for future quarterly deliveries of product.
As each shipment was delivered, legal ownership transferred through Falcon before immediately passing to the buyer under a Flash Title structure.
The transaction was supported by Falcon's banking relationships through a receivables purchase arrangement, providing an efficient funding model while transferring credit risk and maintaining commercial continuity for all parties.
