Problem
Critical mineral exporters often struggle to secure trade financing due to opaque supply chains, manual document verification, and high perceived risk from funders. Traditional trade finance relies on spreadsheets and promises rather than real-time visibility into physical assets, leaving a significant capital gap for suppliers and limiting funders' access to trusted, asset-backed opportunities.
Solution
Salus provides a digital platform that connects verified suppliers with qualified capital through transparent, secure transactions. The platform ingests and analyzes documents and imagery using AI-powered automation, validating completeness and compliance in seconds while reducing human error at scale. Funders gain real-time visibility into fully insured cargoes with live location data, enabling them to track and verify assets from day one. Salus manages risk ahead of funder review, before capital is released, and is built on licensed processes proven across $4 billion in real-world trades, making physical trade finance scalable, secure, and compliant.
