We provide lender-ready capital raise packaging and debt or equity placement support for business owners and buyers looking to secure serious term sheets and close funding on a defined timeline.
For business owners and acquirers pursuing private debt or equity, submit your deal for review. We revert within one working day with next steps and either a quote for our services.
For pre-submission discussions, we offer paid consultations. To initiate underwriting and lender outreach, submit the deal.
In every SBLC transaction, the first task is to map who requests the instrument, who issues it, who can draw under it, and which banks are acting only as transmission agents versus payment obligors. This distinction drives legal risk, pricing, and execution speed.
The applicant requests issuance of the standby letter of credit and signs the reimbursement and security arrangements with the issuing bank.
The issuing bank provides the standby undertaking according to the instrument terms. Its payment obligation is document-based and governed by the selected rules and governing law.
The beneficiary receives the standby in its favor and may present a demand if draw conditions are met under the instrument text.
In many transactions this is the same as the beneficiary. In structured deals, a separate commercial counterparty may be linked to delivery, payment, or performance obligations.
| Party | Function In The SBLC Chain |
|---|---|
| Advising Bank | Authenticates and advises the standby to the beneficiary. Advising alone does not create a confirmation obligation. |
| Confirming Bank | Adds its own payment undertaking when confirmation is agreed. This adds bank risk coverage beyond the issuer. |
| Nominated Bank | Bank designated to receive and handle presentations under the instrument terms. |
| Reimbursing Bank | Handles interbank reimbursement flows when the structure uses a reimbursement arrangement. |
For market practice and legal framing, parties commonly refer to: ICC guidance on standby letters of credit , UCC Article 5 , and SWIFT Category 7 documentation.
If your transaction requires a standby letter of credit with institutional standards, Financely can structure the mandate, prepare lender-ready documentation, and coordinate lender outreach under a formal process.
Submit your transaction to receive execution terms and next-step requirements.
The core parties are the applicant, the issuing bank, and the beneficiary.
No. Advising and authenticating the instrument does not equal confirmation. A separate confirmation commitment is required for an added payment undertaking.
A confirming bank is used when the beneficiary requires additional bank risk coverage beyond the issuing bank’s undertaking.
Yes. Depending on structure and correspondent relationships, a bank may act in combined capacities, provided the instrument text states each role clearly.
Financely supports mandate structuring, party mapping, documentation preparation, compliance packaging, and lender coordination through a transaction-led process.

Depending on deal structure, jurisdiction, and local rules, engagements may be carried out through Financely Group LLC, a non-deposit-taking, non-banking financial company; Ashford Capital Advisory LLC; or another related entity.
Financely and its affiliates are not registered as securities broker-dealers and do not execute securities transactions or hold client funds or securities. When a mandate involves the purchase or sale of securities and a registered intermediary is required, any orders are introduced to and executed by one or more independent U.S. broker-dealers registered with the SEC and FINRA. Those broker-dealers are solely responsible for trade execution, custody, and related regulatory obligations. Nothing in this material constitutes an offer, solicitation, or recommendation to buy or sell any security or to engage in any specific transaction. Before engaging Financely Group LLC, Ashford Capital Advisory LLC, or any affiliate, you are responsible for confirming that such engagement complies with your own legal, regulatory, tax, and other requirements. In the United States, certain advisory activities may be conducted in reliance on exemptions available under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, including the “foreign private adviser” exemption where applicable. Our services and regulatory status may vary by jurisdiction and by transaction type.
