$4,870,000 Letter of Credit Issuance for a Coal Exporter

About this closing

In July 21, 2022, RCR International Finance LLC closed a $4,870,000 trade finance transaction, specifically a letter of credit issuance, for a coal exporter. This page summarizes the closing as part of our public track record; the client is identified by business type rather than name to protect confidentiality.

This transaction falls under trade finance. Trade finance is a family of structures that fund the purchase, shipment, and sale of goods. It includes import and export funding, commodity trade finance, and supply chain finance. By financing the period between paying a supplier and being paid by a customer, it lets businesses transact at scale without exhausting working capital.

Businesses pursue trade finance when they importers paying overseas suppliers before resale or exporters fulfilling international orders. For a coal exporter, a $4,870,000 facility of this type can fund a meaningful step, an asset, a project, a trade flow, or a working-capital need, while keeping the rest of the balance sheet intact.

Common reasons businesses turn to trade finance include paying an overseas supplier ahead of a resale order, funding an export contract to an international buyer, financing a commodity shipment between markets, extending supplier terms through supply chain finance. In each case the principle is the same: convert a future or illiquid value into capital that can be put to work now, without surrendering control of the business.

Several factors shape any transaction of this kind. Trade finance spans import finance, export finance, commodity trade finance, and supply chain finance. Structures rely on verifiable trade documents and creditworthy counterparties. It frequently pairs with purchase order and invoice financing across the cycle. That is why RCR International Finance LLC reviews each request individually rather than quoting a single figure, the right structure depends on the business, its assets, and its underwriting.

This closing is one part of a broader record: RCR International Finance LLC has funded over $566 million across 78+ recent transactions spanning commercial real estate, trade finance, equipment, and working capital. We publish that record because results are more meaningful than claims.

Every closing like this one reflects a structure matched to a specific business and its underwriting. The amount, terms, and timeline are unique to the transaction, and past results do not predict future ones. RCR International Finance LLC does not guarantee approval, rates, or funding amounts. Terms are determined case by case after review.

If your business has a similar need, the path starts the same way: define the use of funds, identify what supports repayment, and review the structures that fit. A coal exporter weighing a step of this size should start with a clear plan for how the capital will be used and repaid. RCR International Finance LLC can help evaluate options based on your business profile, cash flow, collateral, and goals. All financing is subject to underwriting and approval. Program availability may vary, and documentation requirements depend on the financing structure.

What a closing like this ultimately illustrates is method rather than promise. The amount and structure shown here were matched to one business at one moment, after review of how it earns, what it could offer as security, and how quickly it needed capital. A different coal exporter with a comparable goal would be assessed on its own facts and could see a very different result. That is the point of publishing real transactions: to show how RCR International Finance LLC works, not to imply that any specific outcome is repeatable on request. Subject to underwriting and approval.
