Reality Check
Bear in mind that any Assets that you may value, is valued with a different mindset by any Funder. You may value the Asset based on the perceived Market Value if you sold the Asset on the Open Market.
We want to help you not have to sell the Asset, and rather hold onto it by leveraging the Asset against a Facility, still using the Asset, and growing your business. The Funder will grant between 90% and 40% of the actual Market Value as Facility… depending on the strength of the Asset.
Funders want to know two things:
- In the normal course of business, am I going to get paid the money I have lent out, and
- If things go pear-shaped, how do I recoup my losses.
- Funders are in business, the same as you. They want to make a little profit, the same as you. The cost they have to take on in borrowing the money from the big lenders isn’t cheap, because they are forward-lending to businesses who don’t fit the traditional banks lending criteria… otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this, and would have been approved for the right amount at your bank.
- We are very good at what we do, however we are not miracle workers. Not all applications are approved and the more information you provide to us, the better chance of an Approval.
- Shareholders will need to sign Surety for all Facilities. If you want a Funder to give you their money and trust that you will use the Funding smartly, then the Funders will want you to trust in your business and business decisions as well.
- Should your company have ownership by a Trust, the Trust might need to sign Surety as well. Our experience is this only happens if the business does not have a strong Balance Sheet.
- If you are married Community of Property, your spouse will need to be made aware that you are signing surety. This is a legal requirement.
- If you hide things from us and don’t disclose all relevant information, there is a good chance it will adversely affect you. We make our money when your Facility becomes available to you.
