SERVICE

DFSA Authorised Financial Advisory Description

Branford Capital is authorised and regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) to provide financial advisory services to Professional Clients and Market Counterparties. Our Corporate Banking & Credit Arrangements service supports clients in assessing, structuring, and coordinating banking and credit solutions with regional and international financial institutions.

Our role is advisory in nature. We assist clients in evaluating available options, preparing required documentation, and facilitating introductions to appropriate banking partners. All lending decisions, credit approvals, and facility terms remain solely at the discretion of the relevant financial institution.

Corporate, Commercial & Investment Banking Advisory

Transaction Banking and Trade Finance

We advise clients on the selection and arrangement of transaction banking and trade finance services offered by third-party banks. This may include:

  • Domestic and cross border payment solutions
  • Liquidity and treasury management tools
  • Import and export financing structures
  • Letters of credit, guarantees, and supplychain finance

Our advisory support is designed to help clients understand available banking products, assess suitability, and coordinate the establishment of required facilities.

Credit Advisory and Lombard Lending

Advisory on Credit Facilities

We assist clients in evaluating credit facilities offered by private banks and commercial lenders. This includes reviewing indicative terms, understanding collateral requirements, and coordinating the application process. Facility pricing, lending values, and credit limits are determined exclusively by the lending institution in accordance with its internal policies.

Lombard and Portfolio-Backed Lending

We provide advisory support on Lombard lending arrangements, where clients may obtain credit secured against eligible financial assets. These facilities may provide liquidity without requiring the sale of underlying investments. All collateral assessments, margin requirements, and lending parameters are set by the lending bank.

Branford Capital does not provide lending, does not determine lending values, and does not guarantee the availability of credit.
