Secure the SBLC, bank guarantee, surety guarantee or proof of funds your supplier, employer or seller requires, issued by an established bank or rated surety in wording they accept, with collateral structured to keep your cash margin as low as the issuer allows.
FG Capital Advisors is a structured debt advisory firm. We prepare the credit case, structure the collateral and place the mandate with issuers so the instrument can be approved within your timeline, whether it supports structured trade finance flows or project finance construction and completion obligations.
Most companies come to us when a deal stalls on a bank instrument. Here is what we usually see, and how we fix it.
Open account terms are off the table and your trade finance bank has not moved.
We build the credit case and place an SBLC under ISP98 or UCP 600 with an issuing bank that fits your trade flow.
The employer or lender requires security and your bank lines are already committed.
We place a URDG 758 bank guarantee or a surety guarantee that preserves your bank lines for project finance.
Securing the instrument would freeze the working capital you need to perform.
We restructure the security package with receivables, inventory, facilities or surety capacity to reduce the cash held.
Without bank-issued evidence, you are excluded from the process.
We secure a bank confirmation or commitment letter tied to a real facility the seller can verify.
Wrong issuer, wrong rules or wording that does not match the contract.
We align the text and governing rules (ISP98, UCP 600 or URDG 758) with the beneficiary before issuance.
Leased instruments and unregulated issuers rarely deliver anything usable.
Your instrument is issued in your name by a regulated bank or licensed surety, with a clear fee agreed upfront.
Each instrument is structured around your credit profile, available collateral and the beneficiary's wording requirements. Select a service to see how we work.
SBLCs backing payment obligations in trade finance and project finance, issued under ISP98 or UCP 600 rules.
Cash margin, collateral and facility limits structured so the issuing bank can approve the exposure.
Draft review between issuing bank and beneficiary so the instrument is accepted on first presentation.
Repeat issuance for recurring trade finance flows under a standing facility with the issuing bank.
Demand guarantees under URDG 758 supporting EPC, construction and supply contracts in project finance.
Tender guarantees issued to procurement deadlines for public and private bids.
Security that releases advance payments from buyers and project owners to the contractor.
Instruments replacing cash retentions or securing deferred payment terms on supply and trade contracts.
Performance security from rated sureties for construction, infrastructure and project finance contracts.
Tender security issued by licensed sureties, often without the cash margin a bank would take.
Surety instruments that release advances and retentions while keeping bank lines free for trade finance.
Where the beneficiary accepts it, a demand surety guarantee can replace bank security and reduce collateral.
Bank-issued confirmations of available funds or committed facilities for counterparties and sellers.
Funding evidence for M&A processes, asset purchases and auctions requiring certainty of funds.
Lender support letters tied to a real facility, structured to satisfy the counterparty's diligence.
Funding evidence for physical commodity purchases, aligned with the purchase contract and payment terms.
You share the instrument type, amount, tenor, beneficiary and underlying transaction. We quote the retainer and success fee.
KYC, financials, collateral and transaction documents assembled into a bank-ready credit file.
The mandate is presented to established issuing banks matched to your jurisdiction, sector and instrument.
Wording agreed, conditions satisfied and the instrument issued bank to bank to the beneficiary.
Our engagement is a one-off retainer between 10,000 USD and 100,000 USD, plus a flat success fee agreed upfront. No percentage of face value, no hidden fees.
For a single issuance, we handle the issuing bank's charges as part of our engagement.
For revolving transactions, once the facility is in place, you settle bank charges directly with the issuing bank on each subsequent issuance.
We only work with established, regulated banks and, for surety guarantees, licensed and rated surety insurers. We do not place instruments with NBFCs or unregulated providers.
Both are bank undertakings that pay the beneficiary if you fail to perform. SBLCs are common in trade and cross-border payment obligations and usually follow UCP 600 or ISP98. Bank guarantees are common in construction, tenders and contract performance and often follow URDG 758. The beneficiary's requirements usually decide which one you need.
Surety guarantees are issued by licensed insurers rather than banks and usually require less cash collateral. They suit construction and project finance contracts where the beneficiary accepts surety security, and they keep your bank lines free for trade finance and working capital.
A one-off retainer between 10,000 USD and 100,000 USD, depending on the instrument, amount and complexity, plus a flat success fee payable on issuance. Both are confirmed in your free estimate before you commit.
For a single issuance, we handle the bank charges. For revolving transactions, you pay the issuing bank directly on each subsequent issuance under the facility.
Established, regulated banks for SBLCs, bank guarantees and proof of funds, and licensed, rated surety insurers for surety guarantees. We do not work with NBFCs, private issuers or providers whose instruments beneficiaries routinely reject.
No. Instruments are issued by the bank in your company's name, backed by your own credit, collateral or facility. We structure and place the mandate. We do not trade, lease or monetize instruments.
It depends on your credit profile. Strong balance sheets may qualify on existing facilities. Others may need cash margin, receivables, inventory or other security. We structure the package to keep cash margin as low as the bank will accept.
Timing depends on KYC, credit approval and wording agreement. Cash-backed instruments move fastest. Instruments requiring a new credit line take longer. We give you a realistic timeline in the estimate.
