80/20 Private Loan Program 

Program Summary

​For clients with a specific project to finance, or have a series of projects that can be approved through a funding pool, the 4-1 Loam Program can provide a Credit Facility of up to 4X the client's Initial Funds Amount. 

1. It is a non-recourse loan and can be used for any type of commercial development, as well as many other types of non-RE projects (refer to suitable programs). 

2. 20% deposit required for each project; the minimum deposit is $1 million (USD). However, for the 4-1 Loan Program, the client must a minimum of $5MM USD in CASH  ($10MM as SBLC), pledged to your project as the "Initial Deposit."

3. The lender will provide the balance of the 80% required for the project.

4. ​​​​​​​The general term of the loan is 4 years; the lender is flexible for extensions.

5. ​​​​​​​Interest rates are at the GREATER OF a "Flat 3.5%," or 1 Year LIBOR +2 (whichever is higher at the date of signing of the contracts); interest-only, with interest paid quarterly. 

6. Interest is charged only on funds drawn from the loan.

7. The client always keeps their "Initial Deposit" capital in "safe-keeping", where these funds are never exposed to any risk.

8. ​​​​​​​"Initial Deposit" would remain in the client's own bank account if it is $10MM USD or greater; for amounts under $10MM USD, it would remain in a dedicated 3rd Party Escrow at HSBC London.

9. The project is then funded per the monthly drawdown schedule that is agreed to by both parties  (and the lender's insurer) as part of the Loan Contract.

10. Projects are completed as per the schedule, and the client may execute any of the four (4) Repayment options as outlined below, at the client's sole discretion.

11. Four (4) options:  (a) Pay-off the loan as per the Loan Agreement; (b) Renew the agreement for up to 48 months under the same terms and conditions as the original agreement; (c) Convert all or part of the outstanding debt to equity in the project based on a previously agreed-upon formula; (d) Convert the outstanding debt to a long-term mortgage.

12. Exit Strategy can be refinanced or sale of the asset of several other options.

13. ​​​​​​​The lender offers the same  Line of Credit program to governments and government agencies with an interest rate of 1% and a term of 4 years.​

Fees and Underwriting

1. The lender fee is 3% of the actual loan, due upon closing of the loan  (at first disbursement). This is paid directly from the Credit Facility, as part of the first disbursement. Your own "Initial Deposit" is NOT included in this calculation.

2. The assigned "Custodian Fee" is $5,000 USD/month  Management Fee for the oversight on the loan paid directly to PriceWaterhouse (the Lender does not derive any revenue from this process).

3. Legal/Closing Fees: This cost never exceed 1% of the loan amount, with the high end (1%) only occurring in very complex transactions where appraisals may be ordered, and multiple lawyers becoming involved. In all cases, itemized closing costs will be provided to the borrower - most of the Loan Agreements are handled under 1/2%, which typically translates to $15,000 USD - $25,000 USD. The closing costs of any loan are the responsibility of the borrower.

4. Our consulting fee is 2.75% of the loan amount, also payable at the time of the first draw.

5. Term sheet issues within 2 weeks from submission if the project is acceptable.

6. Full underwriting to the first draw is approximately 60-90 days.

​​​​​​​7. All funds are cleared through the US Federal Reserve Bank, European Central Bank, Bank of England, and the Central Bank of the Eastern Caribbean to guard against money laundering, any connection to terrorism activities, and the U.S. Patriot Act.
