Certainly. The Commonwealth is in a solid position to supply steel, oil, and lend gold bulleon and coins via associated deals with a dozen companies or a couple tycoons.

The question is, what can you trade in return? Loan repayments with interest? Land deals? Allowances for Commonwealth factories and railroads in your territory? Resources and rare elements? Mercinaries?

In particular, I would like to have the Webster-Milliam Biscuit Company to have a foothold in your country, with several factories dedicated towards creating tasty, filling, and cheap canned biscuits using your local labor. With the associated economic fallout of allowing this old, venerable, and powerful corporation into your lands, such as what the diet of the working class is coming to. Even if they have no interest in making anything but biscuit products (at the moment)
