Navigating international trade requires robust financial guarantees. A Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) is your ticket to secure cross-border deals—but high costs often deter businesses. At AFETOP, we specialize in low-cost SBLC solutions tailored for SMEs and large enterprises. Whether you’re funding a construction project or expanding into new markets, here’s how we simplify SBLC acquisition, monetization, and trade program integration.

- 80% of transactions were completed within the timeline.
1. What Is an SBLC and Why Do You Need It?
An SBLC acts as a safety net for buyers and sellers in global trade. Issued by banks or financial institutions, it guarantees payment if contractual obligations fail. AFETOP offers two primary types:
- Performance SBLC: Ensures project completion (e.g., construction deadlines).
- Financial SBLC: Provides liquidity assurance for trade deals.
“AFETOP’s SBLC solutions feature industry-low fees and require zero upfront deposits, making them accessible to startups and SMEs. By eliminating advance payments, businesses can preserve working capital while securing trade guarantees for cross-border deals—ideal for high-growth companies or those expanding into new markets.”
