Bank Guarantees and Standby Letters of Credit Advisory
Structured Finance Services: Securing Bank Guarantees and Standby Letters of Credit
1. The Capital Constraint
Project sponsors lose bids when banks demand tighter collateral. Importers face pre-payment terms that drain working capital. Real estate developers hit loan-to-value ceilings long before completion. Each scenario calls for stronger credit support without diluting ownership or locking cash in escrow.

We arrange bank guarantees, standby letters of credit (SBLC), and related credit enhancement instruments for companies that meet strict Know-Your-Customer standards and present a clear economic purpose. Where securities are sold, we work through a broker-dealer chaperone to keep every step compliant.

Request Structured Finance AdvisoryFinancely Group is not a bank. We act as a structuring adviser and, where securities placements are involved, operate through a licensed broker-dealer chaperone. All engagements require KYC, legal review, and an advisory retainer. Final issuance depends on bank credit approval and executed documentation. Misrepresentation may lead to termination and reporting under AML and CTF regulations.
