Keith will be writing a blog series on commercial finance. Below is a look at what is next to come. As lending markets have relaxed and with interest rates still at historical lows, financing of commercial projects has never been better and there is a loan for nearly every project. You just have to find the financing and understand the financing.
Over the next few weeks, we will look at topics that include sourcing funds for a project or business. You may not know it, but there is a variety of sources of money available to finance projects. Some of these sources include conventional financing through local banks and institutions, financing through investment groups, pension capital, government backed financing through the SBA programs or government sponsored programs such as EB-5 lending. Each of the available sources of funds comes with its own set of risks, benefits and responsibilities. For the borrower, it is imperative to understand your funding source, so that you understand your requirements. Once you have your funding source available it becomes about the real world practicalities and legal issues involving obligations on promissory notes, what is an environmental indemnity and what does it do or rather require of the borrower, guaranties (carve-out or full guaranty, payment or collection guaranty) and security instruments, after all your lender wants to be protected. Stay tuned as we walk through commercial finance over the next several weeks.
This is just the surface of a commercial finance transaction but should provide the borrower with some of the background they need when contemplating a business loan transaction. If you have more questions ro need help with your commercial project, you can reach Keith at kbdunnagan@bpelaw.com or call him at our office 916-966-2260.
