Our process
How we evaluate a loan.
We use this method to create speed and efficiency.
- 1
The people
Everything comes down to people. We look first to their expertise and record of success.
- 2
The credit
We look at what someone does when their luck is down, the tide is against them, or the economy is in decline.
- 3
The real estate
We stick to property types we understand and can value.
- 4
The business plan
We match the loan structure to the business plan, so the loan augments the plan.
- 5
Plan A and Plan B
We structure our loans to ensure multiple ways to be repaid.
