FINANCING, SUPPLY, AND PRICING Solutions
Precious metal leasing
Gold leasing addresses the need to finance metal assets and also protects your profit margins from volatile price movements. By leasing precious metal you are effectively renting it from us. While leasing the metal, you can process it into finished goods, refine it into deliverable form, or whatever suits your business model.
We offer lease advances through physical delivery to you or your suppliers, metal transfers, and sale-leaseback trades. Our trading desk is always there to facilitate purchases and sales under your lease line so you can keep your lease balance aligned with your inventory levels.
Select inventory finance
Select inventory finance (SIF) is a highly efficient tool for financing your raw materials and finished goods containing gold, silver, or PGM. With an ability to finance up to 100% of the metal content of this inventory, SIF is a powerful financing instrument. Like leasing, select inventory finance addresses your financing need and also transfers the metal price risk to us.
Secured loans
Borrowing money against your gold, silver, or PGM is not a service you will find at many traditional banks. For those few traditional banks that do lend against precious metals, terms and advance rates are often unappealing. Conversely, here at Kilo Capital we are precious metal focused private credit lenders. Our deep knowledge of precious metal finance translates into sensible loan conditions and high advance rates.
PREPAID FORWARDS AND SCRAP PURCHASE AGREEMENTS
Scrap purchase agreements allow e-scrap, auto catalyst, and other scrap aggregators to lock in the metal price as they acquire material and get paid long before the final metal processing is complete. This type of financing is particularly helpful for businesses dealing in lower grade scrap given the longer processing times. These structures can work well alongside a company’s bank credit lines or other financing types offered by Kilo.
Equipment financing
Companies in precious metal intensive industries often have significant equipment needs. Some banks and lenders have negative preconceptions about precious commodity intensive businesses, making it difficult for these companies to secure equipment financing on the most favorable terms. Equally, the highly specialized nature of the equipment can sometimes add to this challenge. With Kilo’s deep knowledge of commodity intensive industries, we can often present a competitive and tailored equipment financing package.
