SBLC Arrangement Services With Transparent Pricing

Engagement fee: USD 65,000 payable on mandate signature, non-refundable.
Success fee: 1.75% of SBLC face value, due at issuance.

This tier is set up for a single SBLC facility backing a clearly defined transaction in trade, project finance, or commercial real estate.

• Eligibility and reality check: we review the applicant, beneficiary, and transaction to confirm that a bank-issued SBLC is the correct instrument and that the request is credible in terms of ticket size, jurisdiction, and timing.
• Bank-ready SBLC memorandum: we prepare a concise, lender-facing memo covering use of funds, cash flow coverage, collateral, security, and exit, so the bank credit team is not forced to reconstruct the story from emails and marketing decks.
• Financial and risk analysis: we analyse historicals and projections, key ratios, underlying contracts, and risk mitigants (charges, guarantees, assignments, offtakes, leases) and present them in a way that fits bank credit templates.
• Issuing bank targeting: we identify a narrow group of issuers with appetite for your sector, jurisdiction, and ticket size, and approach one primary bank (and a back-up where realistic) instead of spamming dozens of institutions.
• Term sheet negotiation support: we help you negotiate tenor, SBLC commission, collateral coverage, conditions precedent, documentary wording, and events of default so that terms are workable and internally consistent.
• Process management to issuance: we coordinate calls, checklists, and document flow between you, the bank, and counsel until the SBLC is issued, with clear expectations on who does what at each stage.

Bank SBLC commissions, legal counsel, SWIFT charges, and third-party reports (technical, environmental, trustee, etc.) are paid directly by the client. We only work with genuine bank-issued SBLCs and refuse leased SBLC or monetization schemes.

Engagement fee: USD 125,000 payable on mandate signature, non-refundable.
Success fee: 1.25% of aggregate SBLC face value funded across all issuers.

This tier is for clients who need a repeatable SBLC programme or a multi-issuer solution to support a pipeline of deals, phased project build-outs, or multi-buyer structures.

• Programme design: clear definition of target programme size, per-transaction ticket ranges, roll-over mechanics, concentration limits, and how SBLCs fit into your wider capital stack (senior loans, performance bonds, working capital lines).
• Multi-bank strategy: mapping of several potential issuers across different jurisdictions and risk appetites, so you are not captive to a single bank or country when scaling volumes.
• Security framework: alignment of collateral, guarantees, and intercreditor arrangements so that multiple SBLCs sit on a consistent security platform rather than on scattered, conflicting terms.
• Documentation and covenant alignment: coordination of facility agreements, security documents, SBLC formats, and, where relevant, hedging/ISDA documentation so that each new SBLC can be added without renegotiating the entire structure.
• Stakeholder coordination: we manage the workflow between your team, multiple banks, legal counsel, technical advisors, trustees, and agents so that approvals do not stall on avoidable process issues.
• Scaling roadmap with issuers: we discuss performance-based increases in limits, collateral top-ups, and risk-sharing so that the programme can grow from initial capacity toward your target ceiling over time.

Bank commissions, legal, trustee, rating, and all external costs are for the client’s account. Mandates are on a best-efforts basis and remain subject to full KYC/AML, sanctions screening, and independent credit approval by each issuing bank or financial entity. Financely acts as arranger; SBLCs are issued directly by regulated entities.
