Private Guarantee Services for Business Loans

Private Guarantee Services for Business Loans

We provide a collateralized guarantee to your lender by forming a dedicated LLC that holds pledged assets and issues a Standby Letter of Credit in favor of the lender. The SBLC is callable upon the borrower’s payment default as defined in the facility documents. All guarantees are contingent on correct structuring, perfected security, and full underwriting.

Snapshot: Collateral is ring-fenced in a newly formed LLC and pledged to a regulated issuing bank or insurer. The issuer delivers an SBLC under ISP98 naming the senior lender as beneficiary. Coverage is sized to expected loss and covenants. Controls include liens, blocked accounts, cash sweeps, step-in rights, and reimbursement agreements.

Who This Is For

Borrowers and Sponsors

  • Independent sponsors and operators seeking lender comfort without overreaching on personal guarantees.
  • Businesses with uneven collateral mixes that still demonstrate durable cash flow.
  • Refinancings or acquisitions where a defined repayment backstop unlocks leverage or pricing.

Lender Profiles

  • Commercial banks and private credit funds with SBLC eligibility policies.
  • ABL and cash-flow lenders seeking structured secondary repayment sources.
  • Clubs and agented deals that accept ISP98 standby formats.

How It Works

Step What We Do
1) Structuring Form a bankruptcy-remote LLC to hold collateral. Draft the pledge, control, and reimbursement framework. Align SBLC wording to the credit agreement default triggers.
2) Underwriting Assess cash flow durability, collateral quality, downside cases, and covenant headroom. Size coverage to expected loss with stress cases.
3) Collateralization Contribute assets or cash to the LLC. Perfect liens, establish blocked and collection accounts, and set sweep mechanics and triggers.
4) Issuance Arrange the SBLC with a regulated issuer under ISP98(or UCP600 if lender requires). Name the lender as beneficiary. Finalize draw conditions and presentation rules.
5) Monitoring Ongoing covenant testing, KPI reporting, collateral valuation checks, and cure mechanics. Replenishment rules apply after any draws.

Which rules govern the SBLC?
We default to ISP98. Some lenders request UCP600. We align wording to their checklist.
What collateral is acceptable?
Cash, marketable securities, cash-flowing assets, or other assets acceptable to the issuer. All collateral sits in the LLC and is perfected.
Will my bank accept this?
We engage the lender early, share draft wording, and obtain credit feedback before finalizing. Acceptance depends on their policy and your credit.
