How It Works

A Structured SBLC Process

Every transaction is assessed individually according to its purpose, parties, documentation and applicable due diligence requirements.

01

Application

The applicant provides preliminary information about the company and proposed transaction.

02

Due Diligence

Relevant corporate, financial, identification and transaction documents are reviewed.

03

Transaction Assessment

The purpose, parties, structure and financial requirements are considered.

04

Structuring

Where appropriate, the financial instrument structure is developed around the transaction.

05

Execution

Eligible transactions proceed through documentation, compliance and applicable execution procedures.

BG

SBLC Monetization

Financing Solutions for Eligible SBLC Instruments

Businesses that already hold an eligible SBLC may require financing against the instrument. GCFDL provides SBLC monetization and financing solutions for qualifying transactions.

01

Instrument Review

The SBLC, issuing institution, parties, terms and supporting documentation are reviewed.

02

Transaction Assessment

The underlying commercial transaction and proposed financing structure are assessed.

03

Structured Financing

Where appropriate, the eligible instrument may form part of a structured financing arrangement.

SBLC monetization is transaction-specific. Eligibility, issuing bank, instrument terms, applicant, beneficiary, documentation, due diligence and financing structure can affect whether a transaction can proceed.
International Trade Finance

Supporting Businesses in International Commerce

International trade often requires more than working capital. Importers, exporters, traders, contractors and suppliers may require financial instruments and structured financing to support contracts and cross-border transactions.

Our Approach

A Clear & Structured Financial Process

We begin by understanding the transaction rather than attempting to apply the same financing structure to every client.

01

Understand the Requirement

We review the applicant's financing or financial instrument requirement and transaction purpose.

02

Review Documentation

Relevant corporate, financial, transaction and identification documents are reviewed.

03

Assess the Transaction

We consider the project, business, transaction structure, repayment capacity and relevant parties.

04

Structure the Solution

Where appropriate, we develop a financing or financial instrument structure around the requirements.

05

Documentation & Execution

Eligible transactions proceed through applicable documentation, compliance and execution stages.

Financial solutions built around long-term relationships.

We aim to remain engaged with clients throughout the transaction rather than treating financing as a one-time interaction.
