- Trade Finance Partners has secured a multi-year funding facility from a Middle Eastern trade finance bank to expand its distributor-led procurement finance model.
- The firm aims to streamline supply chains and reduce the global $2.5 trillion trade finance gap by unlocking liquidity for trading businesses.
- The new facility will support TFP’s growth across OECD markets and global trade corridors, strengthening its scalable private-credit platform.
LONDON, 17 MARCH 2026 – Trade Finance Partners (TFP), the London-based specialist in distributor-led procurement and inventory finance, today announced that it has secured a multi-year structured funding facility from a leading international trade finance bank headquartered in the Middle East. The development reflects growing collaboration between regional banks and specialist private-credit platforms in trade finance.
TFP was originally launched as the Distribution Finance initiative within Trade Finance Global (TFG), before spinning out as an independent credit platform. The firm focuses on streamlining supply chains by providing tailored finance solutions that enable trading companies to deliver goods to customers without tying up working capital.
By reducing friction and unlocking liquidity for international distributors, TFP’s model helps address the estimated $2.5 trillion global trade finance gap.
The multi-year facility will support the expansion of TFP’s distributor-led procurement finance programme and enable the firm to scale funding for trading businesses across OECD markets and major global trade corridors.
The transaction represents a further step in TFP’s strategy to build a scalable private-credit platform focused on supply-chain finance and structured trade transactions, partnering with banks and institutional capital providers to expand funding capacity for global trade. It follows Cynergy Business Finance (CBF), the asset-backed lending arm of Cynergy Bank, doubling its funding facility to TFP last month.
Sullivan & Worcester LLP, the London-based law firm renowned for its expertise in trade and commodity finance, acted as legal adviser on the transaction.
Mark Abrams, CEO of TFP, said: “This facility represents an important step in scaling our distributor-led procurement finance model. By partnering with international banks, we can deploy capital more efficiently and support the working-capital needs of trading businesses operating in global supply chains.”
Geoffrey Wynne, Partner at Sullivan & Worcester LLP, said: “We understand that TFP is building a compelling platform in the distributor-led trade finance market. We were pleased to support the team on this transaction by advising the lending bank and look forward to seeing the business continue to grow.”
