About Us

The design of our services is based on continuous requests from the exporting community to receive individualized guidance and support for their Letter of Credit needs. This approach is different from the common cut and paste one size fits all concept.
SMS Inc. Consulting Group has been providing individualized Letter of Credit evaluation and presentation services to the export community nationwide since 1988.

Export letters of credit evaluations, documentation and  presentations  

SMS Consulting Group enables you to successfully utilize Export Letters of Credit as an effective financial tool to increase international sales by securing payment from the bank, not the foreign buyer. This will greatly reduce the risk of nonpayment to the exporter.
Our Export Letter of Credit services are backed up by experience and knowledge acquired over 21 years. We provide a customized approach to your individual company’s needs.
Frequently misunderstood, the Letter of Credit process is often regarded as a tool of last resort  by many companies. They don’t have trained personnel to deal with the complex document requirements of an export letter of credit.
As a result valuable sales prospects are turned away.

Why outsource your company’s Export Letters of Credit needs

* Due to the current business climate, many companies facing cutbacks must continue to function more efficiently than ever before. A practical and cost effective alternative is to outsource an expert third party for their Letter of Credit needs.
