About TradeBacked
TradeBacked is a specialty finance company providing inventory financing through inventory buyback and sale leaseback contracts internationally, in regions that include Asia, Europe, the United States, and the MENA region. The Underwriter is not a lender, nor do they provide loans. Rather, together with its affiliates, TradeBacked acquires inventories and either leases this inventory back to clients for a monthly rent or sells an option to repurchase this inventory to the client. In the case of a typical sale-leaseback transaction for example, TradeBacked usually purchases luxury assets with readily discoverable price at a discount to fair market value, leases them back to the client and gives this client an option to repurchase the property back from TradeBacked on terms agreed by the parties provided the client is current on monthly lease rental payments and any other obligations owing under the applicable contract. The Underwriter has approximately 7 employees as of June 2023. At past firms, the CEO of the Underwriter gained experience providing working capital through factoring lines to companies active in the oil & gas, wholesaling, distribution, manufacturing, textiles, foods, plastics, and chemical industries.
