Contract Security Advisory
Advanced Payment Guarantee Consulting
We advise companies that require advance payment guarantees in supplier, EPC, infrastructure, and trade contracts. Our mandate covers structuring, wording alignment, and placement with banks, lenders, and margin providers when additional margin is needed.
In contract practice, many teams call this an advanced payment guarantee. The standard technical term is advance payment guarantee. Both refer to a guarantee issued to secure prepaid funds when a buyer pays before delivery or completion.
The weak point is usually not demand for guarantees. The weak point is structure quality: wrong trigger language, poor claim mechanics, mismatch between contract terms and guarantee text, or insufficient margin capacity at issuance.
What We Handle
Guarantee Structuring
Amount, tenor, reduction schedule, governing rules, expiry mechanics, and claim conditions.
Wording and Risk Alignment
Text alignment between underlying contract obligations and guarantee enforceability.
Issuer Placement
Targeted placement with banks and qualified lending counterparties based on jurisdiction and risk fit.
Margin Strategy
When sponsor liquidity is tight, we structure margin support routes with qualified margin providers.
Underwriting Package
Decision-grade package for credit review, including transaction rationale and repayment logic.
Execution Coordination
Support across legal, compliance, and issuance milestones through delivery readiness.
