Our company, a private limited firm, connects clients with a partner Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) for loans. While the NBFC handles the loan process, we anticipate some defaults. We’ve heard about the First Loss Default Guarantee (FLDG) structure where we absorb a percentage of early defaults. Could you advise on the legal setup for this? Would a simple agreement with the NBFC, along with funds in a separate account for FLDG, suffice? Or are there specific legal challenges we need to be aware of?
Best Answer
A simple agreement with the NBFC, coupled with funds in a separate account for FLDG, might be sufficient. However, legal challenges could arise from regulatory scrutiny, potential misinterpretation as an unauthorized financial activity, and the need to comply with anti-money laundering and know-your-customer regulations. Consulting with a legal expert specializing in financial services would be crucial to ensure compliance and mitigate potential risks.
