Finding Genuine Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) Providers
Standby Letter of Credit Arrangers — Corporate Advisory by Financely
In large-ticket trade and project delivery, buyers and government entities often require a bank-issued standby letter of credit (SLOC) to mitigate performance or repayment risk. These instruments are not just paperwork—they’re bank-level risk assumptions that demand a credible structure, collateral path, and counter-party underwriting.
Financely is not a lender or issuer. We’re arrangers. That means we support clients in securing SBLCs by structuring transactions, assembling third-party sponsors where needed, and packaging files for credit approval. Our job is to bridge your transaction from plausible to bankable.
When Do You Need an SBLC Arranger?
- You’ve won a contract, but the buyer wants a performance or financial guarantee before disbursement.
- You lack the collateral to back the full value of the required SLOC.
- You’ve been quoted questionable terms from offshore “providers” offering MT760s without any diligence.
What We Deliver
Financely supports you from inquiry through issuance. We work with vetted sponsors, legal counsel, and liquidity providers to assemble a deal structure banks can support. We are selective about engagements, and we do not advance any case without screening.
Objective: Secure a bank-issued SLOC while preserving working capital. Financely arranges:
- Loans backed by receivables or assets
- Equity from institutional investors
- Third-party issuance via vetted sponsors
All SLOCs are issued by regulated banks. Final issuer is selected during structuring—not at enquiry stage.
To proceed: Complete the screening form. A $500 onboarding fee is payable upon submission. No mandate or retainer is signed until mutual interest is confirmed.
