STCF is a specialized form of trade finance commonly used to support the movement of commodities across global markets while managing transaction risk. These structures may involve collateral-backed financing, where underlying commodities or trade assets may serve as security, and can be structured around self-liquidating trade flows, where repayment is linked to proceeds generated by the underlying transaction.

STCF structures may incorporate instruments such as Letters of Credit, Bank Guarantees, insurance, receivables, inventory controls, and other transaction-security mechanisms. Greenstone provides commercial assessment, financial modelling, transaction structuring, documentation preparation, and transaction-readiness advisory support for qualifying cross-border opportunities in sectors such as energy, metals, agriculture, and other commodities. Any financing approval, instrument issuance, lending decision, or funding commitment remains the responsibility of the relevant independent capital provider.
