Specialist cross-border credit adviser Henry Dannell has successfully brokered a $20 million trade finance facility for a UK-registered petrol commodities trader expanding into Kenya.
Previously constrained by self-funding its operations, the company partnered with Henry Dannell following a $10 million junior capital injection from Switzerland to scale its international trading capacity.
Navigating complex cross-border structures, Henry Dannell leveraged its global banking relationships to align the business with a major lender operating in Kenya.
By thoroughly evaluating the client’s financial projections, licensing arrangements, and trading models, the advisory firm bridged the gap between commercial ambition and institutional lending.
The combined $30 million funding structure now empowers the trader to execute larger transactions and accelerate its long-term growth across East African markets.
