Letter of credit

A promise from Prospera, on your behalf, that funds are available, and payment of a specified amount will be made to the third party.  

Build and expand your business  

A letter of credit is a great assurance of repayment to a third party to allow you to build or expand your business. A letter of credit allows you to maintain cash flow and working capital by eliminating the need to make advance payments or deposits.  

Letters of credit are useful when:
  • Dealing with a local municipality who requires a guarantee for site services
  • A supplier who needs a guarantee of payment before shipping a product
  • Your business enters into contracts or agreements which require you to provide cash collateral to another party to support your business transaction
