speed
When speed and convenience matter, rates take second place. A recent wealthy client with multiple businesses and properties came to us for urgent funding.
He had intended for the sale of one of his commercial properties to fund the completion of a large luxury rural-residential dwelling, however, the sale had stretched to a long settlement. Funds were required immediately so that the builders would remain on site to finish the job.
scenario
Semper was able to close the loan in four days with no valuation, using private family office funds.
We knew the anticipated value of the commercial premises (as confirmed by the sales agent). We knew the total sum invested in the luxury rural residence. The property was held in a trust with a corporate trustee, so it was a clean lending structure. A simple loan application and a simple solution.
The decision to lend was made in ten minutes, having received the six key pieces of information:
- Loan sum
- Use of funds
- Details of security (description and value)
- The borrower’s ability to service
- Term required
- Proposed Exit
Legal documents went out the quickly, and the loan would have settled sooner, except for the fact that the client didn’t want to sign documents on Friday 13th!
take away
Speed is not not the only benefit offered by Semper:
- Where the borrower is unable to service interest for a period, we are able to capitalise the interest and fees into the loan sum.
- Where exit is via sale, Semper can consider higher LVR exposures pending sale where there is certainty of outcome.
- For small businesses seeking a capital stack on P&E or invoice discounting facilities, we can offer a PPSR Lite approach, with limited or subordinated commercial and/or personal guarantees.
Semper offer flexibility, speed and certainty. Contact us to find out how we can help.
