Control-first architecture. Institutional-grade governance. No advance fees.
Every Frontier programme is built so that money and goods move in a controlled, visible way from day one. This is the structural foundation of every transaction we arrange.
Cash from sales and programme revenues flows into pre-agreed, controlled accounts. This gives lenders line-of-sight on collections and prevents leakage. Account-control agreements govern who can instruct, how funds are released, and under what conditions.
A third-party collateral management agent verifies stock in and out, issues release notes, and reports exceptions. Custody and inventory movements are objective and independently verified.
Goods only release when payment is confirmed. This reduces settlement risk on both sides and creates a clean audit trail.
Monthly lender packs cover availability versus borrowing base, variances, exceptions, covenant headroom, and FX/hedge coverage. Daily cash reconciliations available where required.
Pre-defined thresholds trigger alerts. Items that breach a limit are paused or frozen until cured. Material issues escalate within one business day.
If performance falls below agreed levels, lenders can step in to tighten controls or change release conditions under documented procedures — protecting the lender's position without disrupting operations unnecessarily.
Each programme is implemented through a ring-fenced special purpose vehicle. A master SPV is owned by the funding investors and Frontier-affiliated entities as programme manager. A wholly-owned local mirror SPV contracts in-country.
Corporate anchors and sovereign borrowers do not own the financing SPV as this preserves investor control and bankruptcy remoteness. However, borrowers are granted contractual observer and information rights, including visibility on cash flows, collateral manager reporting, and key programme decisions.
Each stage produces a tangible deliverable. The indicative end-to-end timeline is 10–16 weeks, subject to documentation readiness and jurisdictional approvals.
Frontier's fee is deliverable-based. No payment is due until Frontier has produced a tangible work product.
The structuring milestone is payable only upon delivery of a credit committee-approved term sheet. The balance is payable only upon first tranche disbursement to the borrower. The structuring milestone is credited in full against the total fee i.e., it reduces the close payment; it does not add to it.
Third-party costs (legal counsel, credit rating agency, Big-4 advisory) are paid directly by the client to the named service provider. Frontier does not intermediate or mark up these costs.
Frontier's fee reflects a scope of work that goes well beyond introductions: full programme management, documentation coordination across multiple jurisdictions, credit enhancement structuring, capital placement across multiple providers, and ongoing post-close programme oversight. Fee structure and economics are discussed during the engagement phase.
