Our Story

Built for the
corridors we know

Mangrove Cap Management was founded by practitioners with deep experience in cross-border trade finance. We exist to solve a specific problem: vendors with strong buyer relationships who are capital-constrained because their buyers pay on extended terms.

We structure facilities around the realities of international commerce — not off a generic template. Every deal is underwritten on its own merits. We bring institutional discipline and genuine responsiveness to every transaction.

Americas Focus

Built for vendors operating across the US, Latin America, and the Caribbean — markets we know well.

Deal-by-Deal Underwriting

Every facility structured to the specific buyer, market, and transaction — not a one-size solution.

Secured & Compliant

UCC-1 security interests on all portfolios. Florida law. Full documentation on every facility.

Relationship-Driven

Long-term partnerships. We grow with our clients as trade volumes and relationships scale.

How We Operate

Principles that guide us

Speed without shortcuts
Capital should move as fast as trade. We structure our process to get from submission to funded advance quickly — without sacrificing underwriting rigor or documentation standards.
Transparency in every deal
Clear terms, disclosed fees, no surprises at settlement. Deal structure — recourse, credit enhancement requirements, pricing — is confirmed in writing before any advance is made.
Credit discipline
Sound underwriting protects both parties. We structure facilities that reflect the actual risk of each transaction, keeping programs sustainable and performing over the long term.
