We model cash flows, counterparties, and draw profile. We set amount, tenor, reduction path, and any confirmation. The term sheet states conditions, security, and a dated plan.
We form an SPV if required, open accounts, and document security. Margin is optimized with pledged deposits, receivables, inventory, guarantees, and account control.
We align wording, select the issuer, and complete KYC and sanctions checks. MT799 pre advice can be sent once approvals, security, and fees are cleared.
Issuer releases MT760. We track advising, confirmation, amendments, and reduction or cancellation. Evidence of delivery is kept in the deal file.
Time based SBLC commission plus arranger fee sized to collateral, tenor, and issuer. Legal, KYC, courier, and government charges are passed through.
Cash margin can be reduced with strong collateral and controls. Final advance rate depends on counterparty quality and issuer feedback.
