Trade Finance & Credit Enhancement

Structuring and placement of SBLCs, DLCs, UPAS LCs, receivables purchase, and inventory lines. We align drafts, confirmations, and controls so suppliers are paid and collections clear.

We coordinate issuer and confirmer selection, prepare wording under UCP 600, ISP98, and URDG 758, and define presentation standards and reimbursement paths. Where receivables or stock are eligible, we arrange transactional or program facilities with advance rates, reserves, and reporting that match lender practice across target corridors.
