Stefan Neuss on how to get an SBLC for your business
Business collaboration: according to Stefan Neuss, founder and managing director of WERA Capital Partners, this is the magical word to keep in mind if you want a standby letter of credit (SBLC) for your business or project, especially when your bank has not offered you one so far.

What motivates the rich to work with you?

Ask yourself what would motivate you to do business with other people. For rich and super rich families and their family offices the answer is simple: money and profit. That's it.
It works through business collaborations. One party has the idea and the project, the other party has the money. Your job, as the one with the project, is to find the counterpart who has the money and wants to work with you.

Your challenge

This is where it gets hard. Most project owners have no proven track record, no banking history of the kind that is required, and no knowledge of how to use an SBLC in the right way. That is the dilemma.

Your solution

The solution is a consulting business like WERA Capital Partners, because it already has your counterpart: clients from rich and super rich families with their own family offices, who constantly look worldwide for solid projects to partner with, invest in and create profits from.
Money is not the problem, Neuss says. Solid projects are the challenge, and the key is to bring both sides together.

A proven system

Together with these families, WERA has built a system that filters serious from unserious projects and finds the opportunities that work for both parties: the project owner and the one who has the funds. It gives serious business owners a clear way to collaborate with family offices.

How to start

It starts with a one-hour private consultation over Zoom. In that call WERA will:
  • look at the project you have,
  • check whether you qualify to collaborate with these families through their family offices,
  • show you a clear path and the steps to take,
  • go through all costs and fees.
After the call, a private community channel is set up where the team helps you with the next steps, connects you with the family offices and helps you get your own personalised SBLC for your project or business.
