Challenges In Trade
Finance for SMEs
Lenders are attracted to high risk adjusted yields, but SME Loans are not cost effective because of:
- Archaic, labor, and paper intensive processes
- Document discrepancies
- Fraud susceptibility from lack of transparency
- High cost of sourcing and diligence
- Basel III requirements - higher capital reserve ratios
All these issues have contributed to
the funding gap for SMEs in trade finance

First Mover in Addressing the $1.5 Trillion Gap With Kratos
Innovation and perseverance are part of our culture and we live it every day. It fuels our pursuit of excellence and inspires us to push for better ideas and outcomes.
The Success Of Our Business Offering Rhodium Resources
We are driven by our strong desire to improve our business practices through innovative and practical solutions.
Rhodium is one of the fastest growing independent physical commodity trading and trade finance businesses. We have trade expertise in non-petroleum physical commodities like grains, edible oil, ferrous metals, etc. These commodities are characterized by low volatility and fairly inelastic demand, imparting a level of stability and predictability to our business. We also generally engage in back-to-back trades thus reducing speculation risk.
Rhodium has developed significant know how in the areas of trade finance, risk management, and logistics. We pioneered the use of credit insurance to minimize the risk of trade financing. As a client on the Kratos platform, Rhodium has seen tremendous operational leverage in being able to better control expenses while growing transaction volumes.
