The question
I need capacity with the right specifications, timing, and commercial terms.
How it works
Source capacity, solicit and compare quotes, match workload requirements to available supply, and coordinate commercial negotiations.
Consideration
Compare GPU configuration, networking, location, service levels, availability, and payment terms, not just the hourly price.
The question
I need to budget future compute costs without committing to a provider today.
How it works
A offsets index price changes on expected purchases. If the index rises above your agreed price, you receive the difference on hedged hours; if it falls, you pay it. You still buy compute separately.
Consideration
Does not reserve capacity. Actual procurement costs may differ from the index, and collateral requirements can create cash needs. Confirm executable terms and availability.
The question
My compute contract requires an upfront payment that would consume working capital.
How it works
Financing can cover a qualifying so less cash leaves your business today. You still repay the lender, and the payment structure and contract rights need review.
Consideration
Distinguish refundable deposits, prepaid usage, and payments funding the operator's build. Each creates different credit and recovery risks.
The question
I want to finance my compute commitment rather than fund it entirely from cash or equity.
How it works
may fund a broader payment obligation against eligible contract rights. Repayment and the compute commitment remain.
Consideration
"Full contract" describes the financing scope, not guaranteed 100% funding. Draw timing, borrower contribution, repayment, and eligible contracts require underwriting.
The question
My compute spending changes with demand. I need credit I can draw and repay as I go.
How it works
A funds ongoing compute purchases rather than an upfront deposit. A price hedge is a separate decision; credit alone does not fix your GPU-hour price.
Consideration
Credit funds purchases; it does not fix prices. Availability and terms require lender review.
The question
I have contracted for more compute than I expect to use.
How it works
Find replacement buyers and help arrange permitted resale, subletting, assignment, or novation of remaining capacity.
Consideration
Recovery depends on transfer rights, provider consent, remaining term, specifications, and demand. Resale does not necessarily release the original buyer from its obligations.
The question
Before I accept delivery or release funds, I need evidence that the cluster meets the contract.
How it works
Define and execute an agreed test plan; document results, defects, and remediation requirements against contractual acceptance criteria.
Consideration
Confirm GCAT's exact scope. Proposed coverage includes GPU/node count, hardware health, interconnect performance, workload throughput, and sustained operation.
The question
I have hardware quotes and a deployment plan, but I need customer commitments that lenders will recognize.
How it works
Source prospective offtakers and help negotiate capacity commitments designed around the project's financing requirements.
Consideration
A signed contract is not automatically bankable. Buyer creditworthiness, payment obligations, duration, termination rights, and delivery conditions determine its usefulness to lenders.
The question
I have offtake and need capital to acquire or refinance the GPUs that serve it.
How it works
Arrange lender introductions and help structure financing around equipment, customer contracts, and operating cash flows.
Consideration
Lenders determine credit approval, advance rates, collateral, covenants, and pricing. Liquid Compute's arranging role does not imply that it supplies the capital itself.
The question
The OEM needs a deposit before I can place the order, but my customer's prepayment arrives only after the order is placed.
How it works
Arrange short-term funding to bridge the specific timing gap between the OEM deposit and the customer payment or committed financing draw.
Consideration
Document the release trigger, expected repayment source, payment control, and consequences of delay or cancellation. If the incoming payment will not repay the bridge, longer-term capital is needed.
The question
My customer contracts end before my debt or lease payments do.
How it works
Structure protection for the uncovered period, potentially using an index put or forward. Assess how the protected exposure changes the financing case.
Consideration
An index put protects against specified compute-price declines, not the GPU fleet's exact resale value. Premium, basis risk, counterparty strength, and lender recognition matter.
The question
If the borrower defaults, who will find replacement customers and keep the capacity earning?
How it works
Serve as the named remarketing agent and help re-let capacity in place.
Consideration
Recovery requires usable access and transfer rights, continued operations, and customer demand. Remarketing is not a guaranteed recovery price or guaranteed placement.
The question
I need a consistent reference for comparing prices and evaluating compute exposure.
How it works
License compute benchmarks and supporting market data.
Consideration
Specify hardware, geography, service configuration, contract duration, methodology, and permitted uses. Distinguish observed transactions, quotes, and modeled values.
