MANAGEMENT TEAM

The Transaction Mercantile approach has been developed by a highly experienced commercial team. Each member has specialist knowledge either of trade or structured finance, insurance, risk management and the economic and liquidity considerations in large scale projects and supply chain management.

Collectively we have all experienced the frustrations in resolving a core inherent conflict in commercial transaction financing. This conflict is between the financial perceived risk and the commercial reality that no profit is possible without some risk. The management skill is to identify the actual risks, mitigate these, and manage them away.

Our experience of these very real challenges has shaped our "financial logistics" methodology which both identifies the real commercial risks and mitigates these by applying a hybrid solution of risk transfer techniques and perfecting new security to deliver a bankable proposition to our partner funding institutions.
