About LTS
A Lebanese factoring brokerage, created to give exporters back the trade finance the banking crisis took away.
About LTS
Levant Trading Solutions SAL was founded by Nicolas Photiades and Dr. Ghassan Chammas, who together bring some fifty years of experience in banking, capital markets and financial advisory. The idea was long in the making; the founders began organising the company in early 2022, as Lebanon’s banking collapse cut companies off from credit.
With the local currency having lost most of its value and bank financing frozen, Lebanese trade moved to cash. Exporters had to choose between demanding payment in advance and financing their foreign buyers themselves. LTS was set up to offer a third way: credit-insured factoring with European partners, outside the Lebanese banking system.
Our mission
To give Lebanese exporters a reliable source of trade finance, so that they can offer competitive terms abroad, keep their working capital and grow their exports.
Our vision
To become the reference factoring brokerage for exporters in Lebanon and the Levant, linking them durably with international factors and credit insurers.
