Maus Coex Capital Expands Global Financing Access Through SBLC Leasing and Monetization Programs
VANCOUVER, B.C. – As global businesses face increasing challenges accessing traditional credit facilities, Maus Coex Capital is helping clients unlock liquidity through a powerful financial tool: the Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC). In a newly launched initiative, Maus Coex Capital offers end-to-end SBLC leasing and monetization services, enabling businesses to access critical capital through structured, compliant, and internationally recognized instruments. 'In today's economic environment, conventional financing isn't always feasible,' said Rohan Ellis, Senior Partner at Maus Coex Capital. 'Leased SBLCS allow companies to secure capital and mitigate lender risk without sacrificing equity or operations.' What is an SBLC and How Does It Work? A Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) is a bank-issued financial instrument that guarantees payment to a beneficiary if the applicant (client) fails to meet contractual obligations. Governed by the ICC Uniform Rules for Demand Guarantees (URDG 758), SBLCS are recognized globally and commonly used in cross-border trade and project finance. Unlike direct loans, SBLCs do not transfer funds upfront but serve as a guarantee of payment. Thus, the holder can obtain credit from financial institutions by presenting the SBLC as collateral. Leasing an SBLC: A Strategic Alternative to Traditional Credit Rather than issuing SBLCS directly from their bank lines, many companies opt to lease SBLCS from institutional providers. This allows them to present a high-value instrument as collateral, without tying up their cash. The SBLC lease process includes: Initial Consultation – Maus Coex assesses business objectives, credit needs, and feasibility. Provider Selection – Maus Coex matches clients with Tier 1 SBLC providers with proven reputations. Negotiating the Collateral Transfer Agreement (CTA): This agreement outlines the face value, lease period, fees, and terms. SWIFT Delivery of the SBLC – The provider's bank transmits the SBLC securely to the client's bank. Monetization – The client's bank or third-party lender offers a loan or line of credit based on the SBLC. 'The SBLC leasing process offers businesses capital access while maintaining liquidity and control,' Ellis noted. The Role of Maus Coex Capital: Trusted Intermediary and Structuring Agent Maus Coex Capital is a global facilitator, ensuring each transaction is transparent, compliant, and bank-verified. Their services include: SBLC Provider Vetting – Only top-rated issuers are included in Maus Coex's network. – Only top-rated issuers are included in Maus Coex's network.

SWIFT Verification – SWIFT MT760 confirmations ensure the SBLC has been issued and received correctly. – SWIFT MT760 confirmations ensure the SBLC has been issued and received correctly. Regulatory Compliance – All instruments conform to URDG 758 and are reviewed for banking acceptance. Case Study 1: Infrastructure Developer Leases SBLC to Fund Expansion Client: EuroRail Logistics (Austria) Challenge: EuroRail required €25 million in capital to upgrade freight infrastructure but lacked traditional collateral. Solution: Maus Coex arranged to lease an SBLC from a Swiss provider, which a private lender in Luxembourg then monetized. Outcome: EuroRail secured the loan within 21 business days and avoided equity dilution. 'The SBLC from Maus Coex allowed us to unlock capital we otherwise couldn't access,' said EuroRail CFO Anneliese Mayer. 'It kept our expansion plans on schedule.' Monetizing the SBLC: Turning Guarantees into Working Capital Once delivered, the SBLC can be monetized, meaning it is used as collateral for a loan, typically at 70–90% of its face value. Key Benefits of SBLC Monetization: Fast access to capital (typically 10–21 days) (typically 10–21 days) No need for traditional credit checks Funds can be used for trade, real estate, infrastructure, or M&A If a bank declines to monetize an SBLC, Maus Coex offers access to third-party lenders, particularly in Switzerland, the UAE, and Singapore, specializing in collateral-backed credit. Case Study 2: Tech Startup Secures $5M in Growth Capital via SBLC Client: DataVault Systems (California) Challenge: The company required growth funding but had no tangible assets for bank loans. Solution: Maus Coex facilitated a $6M SBLC lease. DataVault monetized 85% of its face value within three weeks via a London-based private lender. Outcome: The startup launched its following product line without selling equity. 'We didn't have to dilute ownership or wait on VCS,' said CEO Ryan Cortez.

Maus Coex Capital Champions Surety Bonds as Crucial Safeguards in Modern Finance
VANCOUVER, B.C. – In today's volatile global economy, surety bonds are no longer just tools for large contractors—they are the foundation of commercial trust, regulatory compliance, and international contract enforcement. Maus Coex Capital, a premier global financial advisory firm, is in charge of redefining the strategic use of sureties and financial guarantees across industries and continents. 'With rising risk and regulatory demands, surety bonds have become critical infrastructure for financial reliability,' said Rohan Ellis, Senior Partner at Maus Coex Capital. 'We provide sophisticated, multi-jurisdictional solutions that protect public projects, private enterprise, and investor capital.' Why Surety Bonds Matter in 2025 In simple terms, a surety bond is a three-party agreement in which a surety (often a licensed financial institution or insurer) guarantees that a principal (e.g., a business or contractor) will fulfill an obligation to an obligee (e.g., a government agency or project owner). If the principal fails to meet its responsibilities, the surety steps in financially and operationally. Unlike traditional insurance, sureties are not designed to pay out—they are intended to prevent failure through deep due diligence, contract structuring, and risk assessment. If a claim is paid, the surety is entitled to full reimbursement from the principal. 2025 Market Trends Driving Surety Growth Global Infrastructure Boom : With over $2.6 trillion earmarked for global public works through 2026, sureties are required in 83% of RFPS for roads, hospitals, transit, and utilities. : With over $2.6 trillion earmarked for global public works through 2026, sureties are required in 83% of RFPS for roads, hospitals, transit, and utilities.

The bond guaranteed the alignment of GDPR and FINMA (Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority). 'These bonds show regulators that new technology companies can be trusted with public and private data,' said Ellis. 'It's a signal of integrity and readiness.'

Maus Coex Capital Champions Alternative Financing as a Strategic Tool for Business Growth
VANCOUVER, B.C. – As traditional lending tightens and businesses face increasing barriers to bank financing, Maus Coex Capital is empowering entrepreneurs with a comprehensive approach to alternative financing solutions. With the global non-bank lending market expected to double to $3 trillion by 2028, Maus Coex is positioning itself at the forefront of a seismic shift in commercial finance. 'Alternative financing isn't just about filling a funding gap—it's about strategic capital acquisition,' said Rohan Ellis, Senior Partner at Maus Coex Capital. 'We provide clients with tailored access to non-traditional sources such as private equity, peer-to-peer lending, SBLCS, and crowdfunding to meet their operational, developmental, and innovation goals.' A Changing Financial Landscape Traditional bank loans still dominate the lending space but often fall short for startups, businesses in niche industries, or those with limited credit history. Maus Coex Capital identifies this pain point and offers advisory services for business owners seeking agile, innovative alternatives. As Ellis explained, 'The capital markets have evolved. There is no one-size-fits-all. We help our clients navigate a dynamic funding landscape with options that reflect modern business models.' From government grants and private credit to venture debt and strategic joint ventures, Maus Coex Capital's model is grounded in assessing client needs and matching them with appropriate financing mechanisms. Why Alternative Financing Matters in 2025 Maus Coex Capital underscores the multiple reasons businesses should consider alternative financing: Faster approvals and lower documentation burdens Flexible repayment terms suited to irregular cash flows Access to industry-specific grants or innovation incentives Exposure to global investor networks through crowdfunding Capital injections without traditional collateral requirements These options have become particularly attractive in sectors like technology, biotech, manufacturing, and renewable energy, where long gestation periods and capital-intensive R&D can disqualify businesses from traditional loans. Client Success Story: Pivot Tech Innovations Due to its limited operational history, Vancouver-based Pivot Tech Innovations, a cleantech startup, struggled to secure capital through banks. Maus Coex Capital designed a hybrid solution involving angel investment, an R&D grant, and a convertible note from a private equity partner. 'With Maus Coex's guidance, we raised over $1.8 million in just six months,' said Carla Nguyen, CEO of Pivot Tech. 'Their understanding of private equity structures and the innovation funding ecosystem made all the difference.' What Types of Financing Are Available? Maus Coex Capital helps businesses assess and access a wide range of alternative financing solutions: 1. Government Grants and Subsidies Targeted at innovation, exports, or sustainability goals, these funds are often underutilized due to complex application processes. Maus Coex advisors assist in preparing compelling submissions. 2. Venture Capital & Angel Investment Equity-based solutions are suited to early-stage companies. Maus Coex connects clients to a vetted investor network interested in high-growth verticals. 3. Private Equity Focused on mature businesses with scalable potential, Maus Coex structures deals that include management buyouts, recapitalizations, and strategic growth investments. 4. Peer-to-Peer Lending Ideal for SMES needing working capital without the bureaucracy of traditional banks. Maus Coex screens platforms to find those with favourable borrower terms. 5. Crowdfunding Beyond product exposure, crowdfunding platforms provide quick capital while building customer loyalty. Maus Coex offers support with marketing and campaign execution. 6. Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCS) For companies involved in global trade, Maus Coex facilitates the issuance of SBLCS to secure supplier relationships and guarantee payments, strengthening client credibility in competitive markets. 7. Revenue-Based Financing Used by e-commerce and SaaS firms, this model allows repayments based on a percentage of future revenues. Maus Coex assists in negotiating investor-friendly terms. 8. Invoice and Factoring Solutions Turn outstanding invoices into cash flow. Maus Coex helps assess whether invoice discounting or factoring better suits the business's needs. Case Study: BlueHarvest Exports and SBLCS BlueHarvest Exports, a B.C.-based seafood exporter, was losing international contracts due to a lack of payment guarantees. Maus Coex Capital stepped in to arrange a €2 million SBLC facility through its banking partners in the EU. 'The SBLC gave us the credibility we needed in the European market,' said Antonio Perez, CFO of BlueHarvest. 'It opened doors to new distributors who previously wouldn't work with us.' Risk Management with Alternative Financing While the benefits are clear, Maus Coex Capital ensures its clients understand the risks: Higher costs due to private sourcing of capital Potential equity dilution Customized and complex terms Governance involvement from investors in some structures 'Every funding method comes with trade-offs,' said Ellis. 'Our role is to analyze these risks, prepare strong financial packages, and negotiate the most favourable terms for our clients.' Helping Clients Prepare to Succeed Financing is more than an application—it's a strategy. Maus Coex Capital offers a holistic suite of services: Financial modelling and pro forma analysis Business plan and pitch deck development Financier targeting and term sheet negotiation Legal and compliance advisory The firm has established relationships with over 40 global alternative lenders and investor groups. Its multilingual, multidisciplinary team ensures that clients across industries and borders receive expert guidance. Global Perspective, Local Commitment With offices in Vancouver, London, Dubai, and Singapore, Maus Coex Capital offers region-specific expertise to a diverse client base. 'The funding solutions that work in North America might not be optimal in Asia-Pacific,' said Director of Global Strategy Ingrid Malek. 'Our global footprint ensures clients receive regionally relevant support.' Client Case Study: Lumen Health, UAE Lumen Health, a digital health platform based in Dubai, sought funding to develop AI-driven patient care tools. Maus Coex arranged a blended finance structure combining: A UAE government innovation grant A convertible note from a UK-based healthtech angel group Peer-to-peer debt from a Sharia-compliant lending platform Within four months, Lumen Health raised AED 7.5 million. CEO Farah Al-Din credited Maus Coex for 'orchestrating a capital strategy that was as innovative as our product.'
