In global trade and large-scale investment projects, the right capital structure is the only route from vision to reality. At MCF Danışmanlık Ltd., we deliver strategic solutions integrated with international financial centres (London, Dubai) to meet your company's liquidity needs, minimise operational risk, and make your projects “bankable”.
Below are the core financial service areas we offer to support corporate growth strategies and optimise the cost of capital:
Bank Instruments and Collateral Management: To secure payment in global trade and to create leverage in your projects, we offer instrument solutions fully compliant with International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) rules:
- Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) & Bank Guarantee (BG): We coordinate the issuance of SBLCs and BGs through Top-Tier banks, closing collateral gaps at the outset of a project or providing sellers with firm payment assurance in the purchase of goods.
- Letter of Credit (LC) Structuring: We manage the drafting, bank negotiations and document-compliance review for MT700 SWIFT-format letters of credit that eliminate risk in foreign trade.
- Collateral Optimisation: We assess your idle real estate or non-cash assets and convert them into active collateral that raises your credit limits.
Project Finance: For energy, real estate, agriculture and mega-infrastructure projects, we structure non-recourse financing architectures built on the project's own cash flow:
- Financial Modelling and Feasibility: We prepare cash-flow models with optimised DSCR and IRR ratios so your project can secure approval from international credit committees.
- Mezzanine Finance: We maximise the return on equity in a project through flexible capital solutions that bridge the gap between equity and senior bank debt.
- Access to Global Funds: Through our strong network of private equity funds and investment banks based in London and Dubai, we attract international capital to your projects.
Monetisation (Converting Instruments to Cash): We convert bank instruments you hold, or that are allocated to you for your project, into fast, low-cost liquidity:
- LTV Maximisation: Based on the bank quality of your SBLC or BG, we secure the highest possible cash loan-to-value (LTV) ratio through international funders.
- MT760 SWIFT Process Management: Our expert team manages the transfer of the instrument to the funding bank in line with contractual standards and SWIFT protocols.
- Secure Payment Network: We protect our investors from financial risk during monetisation by placing the “Zero Upfront” principle at the centre of the process.
01MCF Danışmanlık: Transparent, Strategic Steps Toward Your Goal
International trade, financing and large-scale investment projects leave no room for ambiguity — they follow strict rules and demand high expertise. At MCF Danışmanlık Ltd., we build tailor-made solution roadmaps suited to each project's dynamics, rather than applying “standard” formulas.
Below you can see how our advisory processes work by area of expertise, and the steps we take on the way to your goal.
Financial Advisory and Bank Instruments Process: We proceed on the principle of zero risk and absolute compliance in bank guarantees (SBLC, BG, LC) and project funding processes:
- Step 1 – KYC and Preliminary Assessment: We conduct a compliance review (KYC) of the client's financial structure, project details and requested instrument (MT700/MT760) against international banking rules.
- Step 2 – Strategy and Institution Matching: We identify the Top-Tier bank (one of the world's largest banks) or the London/Dubai-based fund provider (monetiser) best suited to the need.
- Step 3 – Agreement and Verbiage Approval: We prepare the Deed of Agreement (DOA) setting out the legal framework of the transaction. The technical wording (verbiage) to be used in inter-bank SWIFT traffic is submitted for the parties' approval.
- Step 4 – SWIFT Transmission and Funding: The transaction is formalised through MT799 (pre-advice) and MT760 (block/transfer) SWIFT messages, and funding or monetisation is carried out at the agreed loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.
Global Commodities and Foreign Trade Advisory Process: We manage the process end to end in the sourcing of gold, agricultural commodities or advanced technology products:
- Step 1 – Letter of Intent (LOI) and Market Research: We take the specifications of the product the client requires, and research price and capacity among direct manufacturers in China, Dubai or the target market.
- Step 2 – Full Corporate Offer (FCO) and Due Diligence: We obtain a Full Corporate Offer from the most suitable supplier, and inspect the manufacturer's licences, production capacity and trading history (due diligence) on site.
- Step 3 – Financial Assurance and Letter of Credit (LC) Issuance: To eliminate risk between buyer and seller, we set up a Letter of Credit (LC) or SBLC structure compliant with ICC UCP 600 rules.
- Step 4 – Inspection, Loading and Logistics: During production or loading, quantity and quality are verified by independent inspection bodies such as SGS. Customs and logistics operations (sea/air/land) are completed according to CIF or FOB delivery terms.
Investment Projects and Project Development Process: We turn your energy (solar/wind), agriculture, tourism and real estate projects into profitable assets:
- Step 1 – Feasibility and Risk Analysis: We analyse the technical, legal and commercial viability of the investment concept, and prepare a detailed feasibility report with ROI and IRR calculations.
- Step 2 – Legal Infrastructure and Licensing: Our legal team coordinates environmental impact assessments, zoning permits, offtake letters (for energy) and compliance with local regulations.
- Step 3 – Project Finance: To spare your own equity, we secure a project loan or mezzanine finance from London- or Gulf-based funds, using the project's cash flow as collateral.
- Step 4 – EPC Delivery and Commissioning: The project is built with leading global technology and construction partners. Following testing and acceptance, the facility is handed over to the investor as a profit-generating asset.
