6. How Does It Work?
NOTES
At the end of the term, administration fees are payable in accordance with OFFA’s standard fee tariff to cover OFFA’s administration costs. 
No early settlement penalties are payable the deferred sale price is paid by the Customer before the end of the agreed term. 
The Customer is responsible for their own solicitor costs, stamp duty and other conveyancing charges at outset and on settlement.
The Islamic Financing structure we use is termed “Commodity Murabaha” which is based on a Deferred Sale and Purchase of a Commodity (usually a Metal).
To start, Offa buys a Commodity at the market price today and sells it to the Customer on deferred payment basis with a small mark-up. The Customer immediately sells the Commodity for Cash to a commodity broker.
The Cash Proceeds are used by the Customer for its Financing purposes. The mark-up or profit amount of the sale price of the commodities to the customer represents the cost of our Finance to the Customer. Neither the Customer, nor Offa as the Financier, actually take any risk of a price fluctuation in the underlying Commodity and the commodity trades are concluded in one day. Offa manages this entire process. The Customer agrees to pay the deferred price of the Commodity to us over an Agreed Period (the Term of the Finance).
