Business Acquisition Financing

Services we provide:
Analysis of the purchase price. We determine if the purchase price can be supported based upon the cash flow of the acquired entity.
We do an in depth analysis to determine whether the purchase price is within the standards of the industry.
Financing to purchase the company. We do this by leveraging the existing assets of the company to the maximum amount based upon cash flows available, keeping your cash requirements to a minimum.
We can also provide the equity necessary should there be a cash shortfall between the financing and the cash you are putting into the transaction.
Please contact us today for a free evaluation of your financing needs from one of our finance specialists.

Commercial Bridge Loans

Many times a company is approved for a loan through its bank, or financial institution, but the loan doesn’t close for 4-6 months. During that time we can provide a short-term bridge loan, which will be paid back when the senior loan closes, so your short-term financial needs can be met.
We can also provide other types of short-term collateralized loans and can usually close in 10 days or less.

Debt Restructuring

Growing companies enter into loan agreements to pay for equipment needed to expand their businesses. Loans have different maturities and in most cases, the companies have built in equity in the equipment. We will pay off all your lenders and refinance all your equipment into one loan.
This can result in reduced payments of 30% or more, so your cash flow and bottom line are greatly improved.
Example of a recent transaction:
A manufacturing company had combined monthly payments of $28,000 per month and showed a modest $10,000 a year in profits. We were able to refinance all their loans and reduce their monthly payments to $16,000 per month. Their bottom line was increased by a whopping $144,000 per year!
Contact us today to see if we can do the same for your company.

B, C and D Credits
In these tough economic times many businesses have suffered financially. Additionally, the owners of these companies have seriously damaged their personal credit. We have developed a “second chance” program to help these companies. We can structure your financial needs to help you rebuild your company.

Why Lease?
Leasing is the right choice!Leasing is one of the fastest growing ways of acquiring equipment in business today. Recent surveys found that 80% of U.S. businesses, from Fortune 500 to the local family business, lease some portion of their equipment. A growing business often faces the dilemma of limited cash flow and the need to add equipment. Leasing can put the equipment to work for you with real cash flow advantages and without major capital investment. We can lease virtually any type of equipment, including software and installation.
Low monthly paymentsThe monthly lease payment will usually be lower than the payment required by other methods of financing.
No need to tie up capitalKeep your business’ cash for future needs, unexpected expenses or working capital when revenues are low.
You can always lease equipment – you can’t lease money!Most types of financing require down payments of up to 25%, whereas leasing covers 100% of the cost of the equipment. Most leases require only one or two payments in advance. Get immediate use of the equipment with minimal up-front cost.
Preserve existing lines of creditLeasing has no impact on your bank credit lines. Protect your borrowing power for other business needs or opportunities.
Eliminate obsolescenceTechnology is changing at a rapid fire pace. What meets your business’ needs today may be obsolete three years from now. Leasing allows you the flexibility to maintain a competitive edge by giving you today’s best technology then allowing you to upgrade when the equipment has outlived its advantage.
Fixed payments through the term of the leaseUnlike bank lines of credit that usually have variable rates, lease payments are fixed no matter what happens in the market. By choosing to lease you won’t be a victim of skyrocketing interest rates. Remember the 80’s when rates rose from 9% to over 20% in one year? That can’t happen with leasing.
Significant tax and accounting advantagesLeasing eliminates the need for complicated depreciation schedules since lease payments are generally line item expenses on your P&L statement. And since lease payments can usually be treated as a pre-tax business expense you may even reduce your taxes. Paying cash for equipment automatically adds 30-40% to the cost when you realize that cash = profits and taxes are paid on profits. Leasing is the right choice! It minimizes demands on cash flow, eliminates obsolescence, keeps your bank lines open, saves on taxes and shelters you from the market

Delinquencies on U.S. Home-Equity Loans Reach Record

July 7 (Bloomberg) -- Late payments on home-equity loans rose to a record in the first quarter as 18 straight months of job losses and a slumping economy left more borrowers unable to pay their debts, the American Bankers Association reported.
Delinquencies on home-equity loans climbed to 3.52 percent of all accounts from 3.03 percent in the fourth quarter, and late payments on home-equity lines of credit climbed to a record 1.89 percent, the group reported today. An index of eight types of loans rose for a fourth straight quarter, to 3.23 percent from 3.22 percent in October through December, the group said.
“The number one driver of delinquencies is job losses, which we’ve seen build and build,” James Chessen, the group’s chief economist, said in a telephone interview. “Delinquencies won’t come down without a dramatic improvement in the economy and businesses will have to start hiring again.”
The U.S. economy lost an average 691,000 jobs a month in the quarter, and more than 6.5 million positions have been shed since the recession began in December 2007. The economy this year will shrink the most since 1946, according to a Bloomberg survey of 61 economists last month. President Barack Obama predicted last month unemployment will reach 10 percent this year. The rate was at a 26-year high of 9.5 percent in June.
Delinquent bank-card accounts jumped to a record 6.60 percent of outstanding card debt in the first quarter from 5.52 percent in the previous period, a signal unemployed borrowers are relying on cards as falling prices erode the equity in their homes. More borrowers are using cards to meet daily expenses after losing their jobs, the ABA said.
Fewer New Cards
U.S. banks issued 9.8 million credit cards from January through April, a 38 percent decline from the year-earlier period, according to data compiled by Equifax Inc., a credit bureau, quoted today in USA Today. The average limit on a new card fell 3 percent to $4,594, Equifax reported.
“There is less equity to draw on and certainly financial institutions have been scaling back the available lines of credit,” Chessen said. Banks boosted reserves for losses on delinquent loans and have adopted more cautious underwriting policies, he said.
The ABA’s survey tracks data from 300 banks, monitoring late payments on eight types of closed-end loans that are used as a benchmark for typical consumer delinquencies. The composite index rose to the highest level since the group began collecting data in October 1974. Loans are considered delinquent when a late payment is 30 days or more overdue.
Of the closed-end accounts, delinquencies rose on five: home-equity loans, direct auto loans, recreational vehicle, mobile home and personal loans, the group said. Auto loans are 45 percent of all consumer closed-end loans, the ABA said.
Rates for indirect auto loans, made through third parties such as a dealer, fell to 3.42 percent from 3.53 percent in the fourth quarter. Property improvement and marine loan rates also declined.

State College Consolidation (The Co-Borrower)

When you are considering a state college consolidation loan you need to understand all aspects of the program. You can choose to take out a federal or private loan for consolidation, and each has its own benefits. When you have both private and federal student loans you will want to consolidate them separately because you can lose benefits from your federal loans when you combine them with your private loans in state college consolidation.
Federal Loan Consolidation Program
State college consolidation loans can be handled by the federal loan consolidation program. There are no fees for federal state college consolidation loans. There is also no credit check required which means no co-signer or co-borrower. You benefit from various repayment types as well as deferment and forbearance. The loans are backed by the government and you can rest assured they will be paid one way or another. Should you default; the government can easily garnish your wages or seize your income taxes for repayment.
Private State College Consolidation Loans
Private state college consolidation loans are highly competitive but still relatively easy to have approved. It is necessary to go through a credit check for this type of consolidation and, in some instances, have a cosigner or co-borrower to guarantee that your loan will be repaid. In many cases, the co-borrower is relieved from repayment after a period of consecutive, on time loan payments. The cosigner’s credit will have to be checked and approved before the loan is given. Having a cosigner gives you the benefit of being able to avail considerably lower interest rates due to their established, good credit rating.
The requirements for being a co-borrower include:
US citizenship with a valid Social Security Number and US mailing address
Permanent residency with USCIS documentation
Be of legal age (18-21 typically is the range)
Have a good credit history that includes some time period of borrowing and repaying
Have no bankruptcies in the past seven years
Have no student loan default in their history
Have no excessive delinquencies on loans, no liens, no charge-offs, no judgments
Be willing and able to sign the loan documentation (if they are unable or unwilling to do so you will need to star a new application with a new cosigner)

Funding College

When you have been accepted into a college or university it is a joyous time filled with hope and many questions. One of the biggest questions, once you have been accepted into a program, is how you will pay for the studies.
College tuition rates go higher each year and there is no end in sight to the levels it may go. There are several types of higher education funding available and it is necessary that students understand all aspects of the funding for their college education.
You Need Financial Aid
Financial aid handles the many expenses for higher education. These expenses include tuition, residence, books, food, transportation, and many unseen necessities. You need to get an idea of how much your college education will cost prior to beginning your financial aid calculations.
You need to consider how much your family will be able to contribute as well as the amount you will need in the form of loans after you have gotten any federal or scholarship aid. Even if you think you may not need the aid you should apply, there are many expenses for college and every little bit helps. Not all financial aid is need based, most of it is, so you should apply to see what you are eligible for even if your need is not great.
Financial Aid Types
There are three major types of financial aid available to all students:
Award Money – grants and scholarships offered by the government and private organizations are money that you do not have to repay and is basically given to you based upon your financial need or personal performance/achievement
Repayable Money – loans are available to students and their parents and must be repaid following the end of the education program. The interest rates are generally lower than most private loans, when you apply through the government, and they are considerably easier to have approved.
Earned Money – most colleges and universities have work-study programs available. The jobs offered are usually part time jobs on the campus, often having something to do with your major program. Part of the money goes to your education and part of it into your pocket for personal use. It is a great way to earn money, pay for college and gain experience that can give you aboost in the working world.

District College Consolidation (Democratic Consolidation)

Consolidation is not only a concern for the actual loan borrowers, it can be a tool used to gain attention and votes for political parties. The two major political parties often spar over education issues, student loan issues are no exception. District college consolidation loans as well as all other forms of student consolidation loans are of great importance to the Democratic party. There are many politicians who actively advocate for student district loan consolidation and laws that favor the borrowers rather than the lenders.
housands of Dollars going into District College Consolidation
Student loan consolidation can be a way to ease the debt burden from higher education. Students who are unable to repay their college loans can be approved easily for district college consolidation.
Democrats aim to make it easier to have loans approved and write law proposals to improve the contracts and rates on these loans. Lender advertisements state that you can save thousands of dollars by consolidating with one company or another. The Democrat party tries to see to it that you are actually able to repay you loans with district college consolidation and actually save money.
US Department of Education on District College Consolidation
The US Department of Education adjust interest rates yearly on July 1st, so you will find Democrats advertising their proposals for loan law amendments around this date. They often urge borrowers to consolidate their outstanding loans as a way to reduce their student loan debt. You should be aware that loan interest rates tend to rise each year, sometimes by a hundredth of a percentage point but usually a bit more. Democrats are quite right when they say you can save thousands; half of a percentage point difference on a consolidated loan can save you over $3,000.
Advice for Students opting for District College Consolidation
When you are looking at district college consolidation, you will want to have all your research done and questions answered before the beginning of June. It is important that you shop around for the best loan and take a look at the consolidation loan laws in your state as well as at the federal level. You can get much of the information online or with a couple phone calls.
The amount of loans that students need to take out increases with each year which means the laws written for loan completion are needed to benefit the borrowers. Whether you support the Democratic party or not, the laws that are written by Democrats favor the student and should be supported.

Private College Loan Consolidation (Consolidating your Private College Loans)

It does not seem to matter which type of college or university you have attended, nor does it matter just how much financial aid you were able to muster; it was necessary to take out private loans.
Now that you have finished your education you should be looking to the future but those private loans are holding you back. If you are looking for a way to get out from under your debt without filing for bankruptcy (and completely ruing your credit) you may want to consider consolidating your private college loans. Rather than fighting your way through education debts, you could be sailing smoothly to a debt free future.
Eligibility for Private College Loan Consolidation
Private college loan consolidation has few eligibility requirements and can be relatively easy to obtain. Some basic requirements include:
Having a certain amount (usually $5,000-7,500 minimum) of private student loans
The loans should be in repayment or in the grace period
The loans should not be in default but can be deferred or in forbearance
In most cases you need to be a US citizen or permanent resident. Some lenders offer consolidation to temporary residents but have a lower range for the outstanding loans and a higher interest rate for repayment.
Borrowing on Private College Loans
Depending on the lender and your credit history, you can borrow up to and sometimes over the total amount of your outstanding private college loans. Most lenders will cap their loans somewhere between $125,000 and 250,000 for undergraduate loans; for graduate, dental, medical or law school the maximum amount may be higher.
The interest rate for private college loan consolidation is typically fairly low and is also dependent on the amount of your loans and credit history. There are usually fees for origination, processing and sometimes completion.
The term for private college consolidation loans is anywhere from 5 to 30 years and varies according to your monthly installments and the total amount of the loan.
Deferment of College Loans
Should you choose to restart your education for a higher degree, you often have the option of deferring your principle payments for the loan. This means you will be required to pay the interest on your loans but not make payments toward the cost of the loan itself. You will need to prove to the lender that you are at studying at least half-time to have your loan deferred.
Some private loan consolidators will also offer forbearance in times of financial hardship. This is not a common aspect of private loans but can be a big help if it is written into the contract.

College Loan Consolidation

Plus Consolidation (All About PLUS Consolidation)
PLUS loans are taken out by parents of higher education students to supplement the financial aid package offered and cover all aspects of education. PLUS loans can be used for tuition, books, residence, meal plans, etc and are a great way to insure against unexpected education expenses.

PLUS loans can be repaid immediately upon disbursement and can be consolidated whenever you wish. There are aspects of federal PLUS loans that are similar to and different from the other types of federal loans.
Similarities
They are secured by the US government
The are available under the Direct Student loan program
They are available through private lenders
They can be consolidated through various federal consolidation loan programs
Differences
They are taken out by the parent, rather than the student
They have higher interest rates
They require a credit check for the parent
They offer a few repayment options
They are immediately due for repayment
PLUS Consolidation
PLUS loans can be consolidated immediately upon disbursement and benefit from a fixed rate loan structure. The rate increases slightly each year on July 1st, similar to the other federal loans. You can consolidate PLUS loans for both undergraduate and graduate studies, even though they were originally designed for parents of undergraduates. Changes to this style occurred July 1, 2006 and is referred to as the Grad PLUS program.
The PLUS consolidation programs, as federal programs, give you the added benefit of deferment and forbearance when you want to continue your education further or if you have periods of unemployment or other financial hardship.

Getting your College Consolidation Straight

Getting your College Consolidation Straight
When it is time for the consolidation of your college loans, you need to have all your facts straight. It is important that you have all the information that you need to choose the best consolidation college loan for your situation.

Many people jump into consolidation of college loans with both feet, often landing themselves in a pile of mess. You can do a bit of research and shop around before consolidating your college loans to get the best rate and save yourself thousands of dollars.
How it Works: College Consolidation Loan
Consolidation of college loans works by reducing the amount of your monthly installment while increasing the amount of time you have to pay. It also combines most, sometimes all, of your college loans into a single monthly payment. For the federal loan program you can typically combine all of your federal loans into a consolidation college loan along with some private loans.
The length of the consolidation college loan term depends on the amount due for all the loans consolidated. There is the standard 10 year term for $7,500 or less; 12 to 15 years for $10,000 to $20,000; 20 years for up to $40,000 and 30 years for above $60,000. The interest on the loan is also determined by the loan balance and term. Some higher value loans have lower interest rates because you wind up paying more interest overall on long term loans.
Alternatives to your Consolidation Loans
You can choose to consolidate your loans because it is simple and easy. You will definitely be paying a higher amount on the loans overall because of the interest rate and term of the loan. You do have the option of contacting your lenders to make payment arrangements for the loans individually.
There are some plans that are based on your income that can be adjusted to better meet your financial standing. You can also extend the term of your basic student loans without consolidating by contacting the lenders. You will pay more by extending the term but it will still be less than your overall output if you consolidate.

College Loan Consolidation

Changing Rules for College Loan Consolidation
College loans consolidation is by no means stagnant. The rules and understandings surrounding student loan consolidation are in flux and sometimes change yearly. It sometimes seems that the lenders are conducting an experiment to see what types of rules will be generally acceptable and which simply will not work.

Whether the loans are federal or private does not seem to matter, things change and lenders just have to get used to it. Some rules that the government and private agencies started out with seemed to be fine and working for years, but some accounting wiz will come up with a way to change the rules to benefit the lender. On some occasions the rule change benefits the borrower but these are few and far between.
Changes to College Loan LawsFederal loan changes make the news more often than private because they affect a greater number of borrowers overall. Private lenders can make and change their own rules anytime they like. Changes that have been made to college loans consolidation rules include:
In-school Status Consolidation – borrowers can only consolidate loans that are already in grace, repayment, forbearance, deferment, delinquent or default status. This means that any loans you currently have accumulating that are paying for your present education cannot be consolidated. Effective July 1, 2006
Reconsolidation – existing consolidation loans can be reconsolidated (into a Direct loan) if they include an FFEL or Direct loan or are an FFEL consolidation loan that is attempting to avert default. In plain English, if you have one of our loans we can help. Effective July 1, 2006
Joint Consolidation with Spouse – married couples cannot join their consolidation loans together as a single federal loan. Effective July 1, 2006
Freedom of Choice – the US Department of Education declared that up to 40% of students with federal loans will be unable to choose their college loans consolidation lender. This is dependent upon loan type and local consolidation options. Effective March 31, 2006
Options for College Loans You can choose to take up the government and various private lenders on their consolidation offers and risk getting caught in the tide of changes to the rules. You can also choose not to consolidate at all and repay your loans one by one. This will require your being in contact with the original lenders and hammering out agreements on loan repayment alternatives.
Many issues are negotiable depending on the lender and it only takes a moment to ask. Whichever road you take, make sure it is only after having researched all possibilities and answered all questions.

Choosing a College Loan Consolidation

Choosing a College Loan Consolidation
There are a few ways to handle college loan repayment, a primary one is through college loan consolidation. Once you have decided that the best way to handle your outstanding college loans is through consolidation, you have to figure out how to go about doing so.

Education can be expensive and most of the time grants and scholarships cannot cover the cost of tuition, books, residence and other expenses. Many students have to take out various loans to cover the total amount.
Only upon graduating does the full cost of that education become realized by the graduate. All of those loans become due at once and paying them off can seem pretty daunting.
Searching for the right college loanThe first part of consolidating your college loans deals with selecting the lender with whom you will file. It is easiest to check back with your school to determine what lenders work with the type of loans you have and through the institution.
Since lenders are competitive, you stand to save in the thousands with their low interest rates and borrower benefits packages. If you are still within the loan’s grace period you can get the best rates possible, but even if you are not you can still get a great deal. Federal loans sometimes have yearly deadlines for consolidation but private loan consolidation can be done any time.
Choose the lender that offers the best deal for your financial situation and be sure to read all fine print, you do not want to face extra charges that you signed up for without knowing.
Paperwork for the college loan consolidation application When you apply for college loan consolidation you will need to have all your paperwork handy. You will have to provide information on the loan types, balances and holders. Of course they will need information regarding the school and the time period in which you were in studies. The lender will also ask you about your current financial and employment situation. You will need to provide contact information for employers as well as some references (usually professional).

ACS Consolidation

When You Cannot Repay Many people need to take out federal and private loans to finance their education. One requirement of taking out a student loan is to repay the balance after you have left your program. For one reason or another, some students find themselves in a situation where they are unable to repay their loans.

It may be that they have too many small loans to pay at the same time. It could be that their monthly expenses exceed their ability to repay the loans. It could be that they are not gainfully employed and cannot afford the repayment installments. Whatever the reason these borrowers risk defaulting on their loans. One way to avoid defaulting on you loans is to take out a consolidation loan from a government or private institution. ACS is a company that offers consolidation loans for former students.
ACS consolidation is offered to students who are in good standing on their loans. You can be in the grace period or repayment period on the loan term to consolidate with ACS. In some cases you are able to avail ACS consolidation if you are enrolled in a program or even if you are delinquent on your loans. If you are at risk of defaulting on your loans you will have to check with ACS to see if your loans are eligible for consolidation.
Defaulting on the ACS LoanDefaulting on a loan means that you have gone past the stage of being delinquent (missing payments), to the point that the lender declares that you are unable to or are unwilling to repay the loan. If you have the option of deferring the loan or there is the possibility of forbearance, it is important that you take advantage of the option before you default on the loan. Many lenders are flexible with such issues and will work with you to ensure that the loan is repaid. ACS consolidation allows for deferment for financial hardship and unemployment as well as returning to education.
Even with consolidation loans you may find some time where you cannot repay the loans. The amount that you will have to pay will increase astronomically if you default and have to pay collection fees on top of the loan. The lenders will always find a way to get their money back. It may be by garnishing your wages or taking your tax return money. Additional problems of defaulting on an ACS consolidation or any other type of loan include:
Low credit rating
Ineligibility for federal aid
Lawsuits
Loss of deferment options
The inability to obtain some licenses
