Trade intermediation, finance, and business consulting for the physical commodities world.
Discover Our Work →HTR Consulting was established to serve a single, underserved need: providing sophisticated, operationally grounded advisory to participants in the physical commodities markets who require more than conventional financing guidance.
We work with producers, processors, and trading firms to identify and access financing structures appropriate to their specific trade flows — whether against inventory, receivables, or purchase orders. Our role is strictly advisory and introductory; we bring decades of market relationships to bear so that our clients can engage with the right counterparties on informed terms.
Our network of financing partners spans multiple jurisdictions and asset classes, allowing us to match each client's capital requirements with structures that reflect the realities of their business — not generic solutions.
Founded in April 2015 and born from direct participation in base metals trading, HTR carries institutional-grade market knowledge into every client engagement. The firm operates across the US and UK, with a team whose collective experience spans over a century across trading, structured finance, and private markets. Past client outcomes are not indicative of future results, and all financing introductions are made without guarantee of terms or execution.
We advise mining companies, physical commodities manufacturers, and trading firms — particularly those operating across emerging market jurisdictions — on structuring their trade finance and working capital arrangements. Our approach is diagnostic: we assess each client's specific trade flows, counterparty relationships, and capital constraints, then identify financing structures that are appropriate to their operational reality. We make introductions to financiers with genuine sector expertise, not generalist lenders unfamiliar with commodities dynamics.
For capital providers — family offices, private credit funds, and specialist lenders — seeking exposure to the mining and physical commodities space, HTR serves as a discreet point of introduction to operators and projects aligned with their mandate. Our value lies in the quality and depth of our relationships on both sides of the transaction. We do not act as placement agents or broker-dealers; our role is to facilitate meaningful introductions between credible counterparties, grounded in a substantive understanding of the sector and its risk dynamics.
A team rooted in years of experience working with a multitude of clients and partners, allowing us to build unique, long-lasting relationships across global markets.
