  • Asset Based Financing, Alternative Ways of Financing, Large Commercial Real Estate Projects
    Traditional financing provides much needed funding to advance major commercial or other tangible projects, and it is particularly beneficial to companies that plan months in advance. But what happens when funding is required immediately or clients have minimal experience? Asset-based financing can help clients avoid the complexities involved with traditional financing methods.

    The Challenge
    Because of many lenders' strict guidelines, the types of large commercial projects they will finance are limited. These agreements involve formal appraisals, third-party reports and approval from loan committees. In many cases, clients also need previous experience or equity partners to qualify. The approval process is long, complicated and uncertain. Commercial financing may also involve last-minute surprises should the bank or financial institution change terms or pull funding altogether. Even with adequate assets, the project may not garner approval. Worse yet, a bank can call its notes due at any moment, because its lending guidelines may have changed or their investors or regulators may not be satisfied with the lending institution's choice of investments.

  • Commercial Loan For Your Hotel Property
    Getting a commercial mortgage for a hotel property is very similar to getting a commercial mortgage for an owner occupied commercial property with a few subtle differences. The driving force for the majority of most hotel income is the RevPar or revenue per available room. RevPar is most commonly calculated by multiplying a hotels average daily room rate (ADR) by it occupancy rate and is a key indicator of performance. Rising RevPar is an indication that either occupancy is improving; the ADR is increasing, or a combination of the two.
  • Commercial Loan Processing Explained
    It is important to understand the process behind commercial loan processing to gain an insight into how a financing institution assesses and decides on whether or not a loan is granted.

  • Commercial Loan Refinancing and Financial Funding
    Commercial loans once acquired are often never reexamined to insure that the best financing value has been negotiated. It is an understatement to say that the business world is dynamic and economic conditions are always evolving. Changes often occur that might indicate the need for the reevaluation of a company or individual position with respect to commercial loans. There are several important reasons that might cause one to consider refinancing of a commercial loan. A few of these reasons are enumerated below;
  • Commercial Mortgage Interest Rates
    Commercial mortgage interest rates are a combination of the margin that the bank changes and the index that they use. For example if a bank quoted Prime (the index) plus 2% (the margin) you're actual or "effective interest rate" would be 7% (Prime is currently at 5%).

    Lenders use a wide range of indexes. On owner occupant transactions Prime is still very popular and is used much of the time. This is especially true with floating rate loans. The SBA 7a program still uses Prime for example. Commercial investment deals use a broad range of indexes. The treasuries are popular but each individual lender has their preferences. The index used is probably less important for the borrower than the margin that the funding bank uses.

  • Companies Who Manufacture Industrial Scales
    The weight of an object is often an important piece of information. Within an industrial environment, this data is generally determined by an industrial scale. Scales come in a variety of different formats, including bench scales, floor scales, platform scales, drum scales, parts counting scales and laboratory scales. There are a number of characteristics that all of these electronic scales have in common. They all include a platform of some type. The platform of the bench scales and parts counting scales are often fairly small, because the total capacity of the scale is also fairly low. Larger capacities are available with platform scales and drum scales, so they are offered with larger platform sizes. Floor scales accept even heavier loads, ranging from 2500 lb up to 30,000 lb and greater. As would be expected, floor scales are manufactured with larger platform sizes, typically between 3’ x 3’ all the way to 8’ x 12’.

  • Creating Environmental Consciousness
    The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns consumers to evaluate carefully environmental claims, such as degradable, recyclable, environment friendly, environmentally safe, on product labels or in advertising. As such, almost all the products that fill up the shelves claim to be "eco friendly", but it seems like this has become a catch-phrase. For instance, if a label says "recycled," FTC recommends checking the percentage of the product or package that is recycled, because unless the product or package contains 100 percent recycled materials, the label must indicate how much of it is recycled.
