02 — Portfolio Financing

Portfolio financing & securitization

Funding supported by loan portfolios and eligible assets

Financing against eligible receivables, trade finance assets, or loan portfolios may involve a purchase, factoring facility, asset-backed loan, or securitization. We assess portfolio eligibility, concentration, reserves, legal issues, reporting needs, and potential funding sources with relevant specialists.

  • Portfolio review and eligibility criteria
  • Structure selection, from factoring to securitization
  • Legal and credit enhancement analysis where applicable
  • Funding-source coordination and reporting requirements

How We're Compensated

Aligned with funding, not paperwork

Our fee structure is aligned with getting your mandate funded — not with billing hours.

At Mandate Acceptance

Structuring Fee

Upon accepting a mandate, we charge a fee covering initial screening, structuring, and preparation of the transaction for presentation to financing institutions. This fee varies by transaction complexity and is agreed in writing before work begins.

At Disbursement

Success Fee

The majority of our compensation is results-based, paid only upon disbursement of funds — not upon signing, approval, or term sheet. If the financing doesn't fund, we don't collect this portion. Major institutional funders don't release capital until disbursement; we structure our own compensation the same way.

Fee percentages are scaled by transaction size and complexity and confirmed for each mandate before engagement begins. We're happy to walk through specifics on an initial call.

Is This a Fit

Who we work with — and who we don't

Being direct about fit saves everyone time. Here's what we look for before taking on a mandate.

Strong Fit

We're likely a fit if

  • You can produce financial statements with an audited opinion — or are close enough to obtain one before closing
  • You can produce forward-looking financial projections supporting repayment or performance
  • Your transaction can withstand standard institutional due diligence
  • Your transaction size meets institutional minimums for ECA, DFI, or government-institution financing
  • Your deal has a development, trade, export, or infrastructure angle — or a clear private-capital path if not
Not a Fit Today

We're likely not a fit if

  • You're early-stage or pre-revenue without audited or auditable financials
  • Your financing need falls below institutional minimums for the product type
  • You're not able to complete standard institutional due diligence — documentation, disclosure, source-of-funds verification
  • You need funding faster than a structured institutional process allows
By Product

What each structure requires

Documentation and readiness expectations differ by product. Here's what to have ready.

Product What we'll need
Securitizations A seasoned, performing pool of receivables or loans with historical performance data, and servicing capability for the underlying assets.
Working Capital / Short-Term Loans Current financials, a defined borrowing base, and a clear short-term use of funds.
Long-Term / Project Financing Audited financials, multi-year projections, and full project-level due diligence — feasibility, offtake, and construction or completion risk where applicable.
Trade Finance Transaction-specific documentation — purchase orders, sales contracts, or offtake agreements — and, where ECA-eligible, documentation supporting export content.
Due Diligence

What review typically covers

Every mandate goes through institutional-grade review before it's presented to a financing partner.

01

Audited financial statements — historical financials with an independent audit opinion, covering the relevant reporting periods.

02

Financial projections — forward-looking statements supporting the repayment or performance case, with underlying assumptions documented.

03

Corporate & legal structure — ownership, governance, and any cross-border structuring relevant to the transaction.

04

KYC / AML & source of funds — standard verification required by ECAs, DFIs, and government institutions.

05

Asset & collateral review — underlying receivables, loan pools, or project assets, as applicable to the product.

06

Regulatory & sector review — permits, licenses, and compliance relevant to the sector and jurisdiction.

Receivables & Working Capital

Put existing receivables to work

Bluefoot Advisors helps companies and financial institutions evaluate financing backed by receivables and other eligible assets. We review the portfolio, identify a suitable structure, and coordinate with specialist partners and potential funding sources. The right solution depends on the assets, customer concentration, jurisdiction, reporting capacity, and timing.

Portfolio securitization

A recurring, sufficiently diversified pool of receivables may support financing through a dedicated vehicle. Eligibility rules, reserves, legal structuring, and ongoing performance reporting are central to the assessment.

Receivables purchase & factoring

Selling or financing invoices may suit a smaller or more concentrated portfolio. Terms may include recourse or non-recourse arrangements, depending on the buyers, receivables, and provider.

Supply chain & trade receivables

Programs can be designed around a buyer, supplier network, or cross-border trade flow. We assess payment terms, obligor risk, collection mechanics, and local legal requirements.

Asset-backed facilities

Where receivables are financed alongside other eligible assets, an asset-backed loan or secured working capital facility may be a better fit than a receivables sale.

What we review first

We start with the financing objective, approximate portfolio balance, countries and currencies, customer concentration, invoice aging, historical losses and credits, collection practices, and desired timing. This helps determine whether a detailed portfolio assessment is warranted.

Discuss a receivables mandate

Availability, advance rates, recourse, pricing, accounting treatment, and timing depend on due diligence, documentation, and funder approval. Bluefoot Advisors is an independent advisor and intermediary; it does not provide or guarantee financing.
