Standby Letter of Credit Arrangement Services for Real Estate Developers
Standby Letter of Credit Arrangement Services for Real Estate Developers
Need an SBLC to Secure a Real Estate Deal?
Many real estate developers are asked to provide a Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) to guarantee performance, secure down payments, or meet pre-sale or lease agreement conditions. But getting one—especially without a large cash deposit or local bank relationship—can feel impossible.
Financely helps developers structure and secure SBLCs from reputable issuers, underwritten against project documentation and collateral, not just blanket deposits. We intervene when banks stall or brokers waste time.
When Developers Use SBLCs
- To guarantee construction obligations to off-takers or buyers
- To secure pre-sale contracts in off-plan developments
- To back leasehold payment obligations to landlords
- To meet capital adequacy or assurance requirements from authorities
- To stand in place of equity during early-phase funding
Who We Help
- Property developers with shovel-ready or near-complete projects
- SPVs with signed offtake, presale, or anchor lease contracts
- JV partners needing to secure performance or payment guarantees
- Owners requiring temporary enhancement to finalize capital stack
- Institutional sponsors seeking SBLCs for cross-border assets
Our SBLC Arrangement Process
- Document Review: Asset data, contracts, project financials
- Structure: Define amount, tenor, underlying purpose, and exit
- Underwriting: Our partners assess risk and issue draft term sheet
- Issuance: SBLC delivered via MT760 to the designated counterparty
- Wraps: If needed, we structure corporate or insurance-backed enhancements
Eligible Instruments and Issuers
- MT760 standby letters of credit (SWIFT-based)
- From rated banks, credit unions, or licensed financial institutions
- Typically governed under UCP 600 or ISP98 rules
- Tenors: 6 months to 3 years, renewable or rolling if needed
Why Developers Work With Financely
Traditional banks rarely issue project-linked SBLCs unless you hold significant deposits or collateralized assets. Brokers make promises but disappear when it's time to underwrite. We operate on strict documentation, clear mandates, and execution accountability.
You’ll work directly with our capital advisory desk, not a random sales agent. Every SBLC we arrange is backed by a clean structure, legitimate issuer, and traceable risk logic.
Need to secure an SBLC for your real estate project? We’ll scope the transaction, arrange underwriting, and deliver the instrument with full documentation control.
