MCF Danışmanlık

International trade, financing and large-scale investment projects leave no room for ambiguity, follow strict rules and demand a high level of expertise. At MCF Danışmanlık, rather than offering “standard” prescriptions, we build bespoke (tailor-made) solution roadmaps suited to each project's dynamics.

Below you can see how our advisory process works across our areas of expertise, and the steps we take on the way to your goal.

Financial Advisory and Bank Instruments Process: In bank guarantees (SBLC, BG, LC) and project funding, we operate on a principle of zero risk and absolute compliance:

• Step 1: KYC and Preliminary Assessment: We review the client's financial structure, project details and the requested instrument (MT700/MT760) for compliance with international banking rules (Compliance) through a KYC (Know Your Customer) check.
• Step 2: Strategy and Institution Matching: We identify the “Top-Tier” bank (one of the world's largest) or the London/Dubai-based fund provider (Monetiser) best suited to the need.
• Step 3: Agreement and Verbiage Approval: The DOA (Deed of Agreement) setting out the transaction's legal framework is prepared. The technical wording (Verbiage) to be used in inter-bank SWIFT traffic is submitted to both parties for approval.
• Step 4: SWIFT Transmission and Funding: The transaction is formalised through MT799 (pre-advice) and MT760 (blocking/assignment) SWIFT messages, and funding/monetisation is carried out at the agreed LTV (Loan to Value) ratio.

Global Commodities and Foreign Trade Advisory Process: We manage the process end to end in sourcing gold, agricultural commodities or advanced technology products:

• Step 1: Letter of Intent (LOI) and Market Research: The specifications of the product requested by the client are obtained. Price and capacity research is carried out with direct producers in China, Dubai or the target market.
• Step 2: Full Corporate Offer (FCO) and Due Diligence: A Full Corporate Offer is obtained from the most suitable supplier. The producer's licences, production capacity and trading track record (Due Diligence) are inspected on site.
• Step 3: Financial Assurance and Letter of Credit (LC) Issuance: To eliminate risk between buyer and seller, a Letter of Credit (LC) or SBLC structure compliant with international ICC UCP 600 rules is put in place.
• Step 4: Inspection, Loading and Logistics: During production or loading, quality and quantity are verified by independent bodies such as SGS. Customs and logistics operations (sea/air/land) are completed according to the CIF or FOB delivery terms.

Investment Projects and Project Development Process: We turn your Energy (solar/wind), Agriculture, Tourism and Real Estate projects into profit-generating assets:

• Step 1: Feasibility and Risk Analysis: The technical, legal and commercial viability of the investment idea is analysed. A detailed feasibility report is prepared with ROI (Return on Investment) and IRR (Internal Rate of Return) calculations.
• Step 2: Legal Framework and Licensing: Environmental impact assessment (EIA) reports, planning permits, connection offer letters (for energy) and compliance with local regulations are coordinated by our legal team.
• Step 3: Project Finance: To avoid straining your own equity, a project loan or mezzanine bridge financing is secured from London- or Gulf-based funds against the project's cash flow.
• Step 4: Implementation (EPC) 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.

Foreign Investor and Company Formation Process: We confidently build your market-entry strategy for Turkey, Dubai (DMCC) and the UK:

• Step 1: Market Entry Strategy: The target country's tax advantages, incentive mechanisms and free zone opportunities are reported specifically for the investor.
• Step 2: Company Formation and Bank Accounts: Formal company incorporation is completed with the relevant chambers of commerce and ministries, with the opening of corporate bank accounts coordinated in parallel.
• Step 3: Residency and Citizenship (Golden Visa): Where required, citizenship by investment or long-term residence permit processes are finalised through our local legal counsel.
• Step 4: Ongoing Asset Management: The accounting, customs clearance, virtual office and operational processes of the established structure are managed on an ongoing basis.
