Advantages of Equity Development Finance

The main advantage of Equity and Joint Venture Development funding is that the developer may not need to put any cash into a deal and could, therefore, develop a profitable opportunity that would otherwise not be completed.

• Where the traditional Senior Debt Lenders limit the lending to 65% of total costs, Joint Venture Development funding allows the lending to stretch to 100% including land acquisition, hard costs, and soft costs
• Because the fund participates as a 100% joint venture partner, they assume nearly 100% of the project risk until completion or stabilization.
• Expert advice and invaluable experience can be provided by the equity investor
• Allows the developer to develop more projects at a time as their funds are not tied up in one particular deal.
• The developer does not need to service any interest at any stage during the project
• Typical profit share for a developer can range from 25% to 50% depending on the specific project
• Flexible structures can be designed where ratchets are included to enable the developer to maximise profits when certain sales targets are achieved

Bridging loans are a short-term funding option. They are used to ‘bridge’ a gap between a debt coming due – and we’re talking primarily about property transactions, here – and the main line of credit becoming available. Or they can simply act as a short-term loan in pressing circumstances. They can be invaluable in facilitating a property purchase that otherwise would not be possible. But as you might expect with a stop-gap measure, they can be significantly more expensive than a ‘normal’ loan.
What are bridging loans and how do they work?

Bridging loans are designed to help people complete the purchase of a property before selling their existing home by offering them short-term access to money at a high-rate of interest. As well as helping home-movers when there is a gap between the sale and completion dates in a chain, this type of loan can also help someone planning to sell-on quickly after renovating a home or help someone buying at auction. As banks and building societies have grown more reluctant to lend in the wake of the financial crisis, there has been an influx of bridging lenders into the market. As the cost of a bridging loan is higher than a more traditional loan, an exit strategy is important. Exits are usually via refinance or sale on the open market. There is a massive range of bridging lenders to choose from, so it is essential to have an understanding of the intricacies and mechanics of such facilities so the most appropriate and cost-effective option is utilised, from the right lender. We can fast-track you through the process and identify the most suitable option quickly.Please Contact Us for more information.
