Letters of credit are a bank guarantee for payment for goods, however you need to adhere to the rules and get the paperwork right!
Did you know that approximately 75% of all Letters of Credit are presented with discrepancies?
When this happens the bank guarantee becomes invalid and you are then reliant on the goodwill of the Buyer to pay for those goods. This ultimately means you are giving them an open account and leaving your cash flow hanging in the balance with the risk of non-payment.
