Introducing the “BREFI”, A New Loan Programme by GMG

Over the past 12 months, the most common funding problem is the lack of financing options at the early stages of a real estate project: land acquisition, initial development, real estate purchase before the renovation, equity cash out towards new development, etc.

GMG receives high-value financing requests in almost all major countries, and it’s been very clear that traditional banks are less willing to take on the risk of financing the early stages of a real estate development or project. There has never been a greater need for non-bank alternatives than now.

Many of our high-net-worth clients have relied on the ‘long relationship’ with their banks (Implicit Put option) to be their lender of last resort, and when they are not, there is a scramble for financing options in a short period of time, which we see now. A separate issue is that banks, in general, may require recapitalization from losses due to Covid-19 and are looking to preserve capital.

Bridge Lending (the B part of BREFI).

As many of you know, one of the advantages of bridge loans is that they allow the borrower to secure opportunities that you would otherwise miss. Another advantage is bridge loans allow for flexible payment terms depending on the loan agreements. You can choose to start paying off the loan before or after securing long-term financing.

Also, qualifying and getting approved for a bridge loan takes less time than a traditional loan, giving the borrower the convenience of quickly owning the asset and begin getting the project off the ground with the intention of replacing the bridge loan with a more permanent construction loan, as an example.

GMG BREFI (short for Bridge + Refi).

We created the BREFI to combine 2 types of mortgage origination effort into one single offering to help clients with their initial bridge and onto the next stage of funding, usually a construction or development loan.

For example, in some cases, the initial bridge loan is used to purchase the property or land and prepare it to be “Shovel-ready.” That is land or structure that has plans, zoning, and issued permits in place. Having these ready allows for construction to begin immediately after closing.

A major difference between these two is that new construction loans fund the construction of a new structure, whereas bridge loans allow investors to purchase land or property but typically do not fund any construction costs. A GMG BREFI combines them both into one service offering.

Investors who obtain a bridge loan will usually begin construction after they have refinanced out into their long-term loan.

Typical Bridge Loan

Used to purchase “shovel-ready” land or land with an existing structure for a quick flip

Used to pay off the existing loan by refinancing into another loan

Not normally used to fund construction

Typical Construction Loan

Used purchase “shovel-ready” land or land with an existing structure to tear down and rebuild

Used to pay off the loan upon selling the property

Always used to fund construction

Our team uses GMG BREFI by finding lenders that will take both portions of the funding stack, Bridge + Construction.

Some common uses of GMG BREFI

Purchasing a plot of land to build a new development

Investors looking to purchase a plot of “shovel-ready” land would normally use a construction loan which is not available in this market environment. A BREFI will allow you to acquire the desired land and finance the new development on the property.

Purchasing an existing property (IE en bloc in Singapore) to tear down and build a new one

For clients planning to tear down and rebuild a structure on a piece of land, a BREFI can be used as a financing option.

Financing required to purchase land and begin construction immediately

Property developers who have the required documentation to begin construction on a piece of land can use the BREFI, where typical construction loans are not available with traditional banks. The hardest part of any new construction is getting the needed permits; once this is done, our lenders can disperse the funds in “construction draws” to start building.

Please note that the civil fraud case is about him misrepresenting how wealthy he is, in order to get better rates on loans and insurance.

He is appealing, because of course he is, but he needs to put up the amount of the judgement in order to appeal; he would get it back if the appeal succeeded. The amount--it's called "disgorgement"--is based on what he is estimated to have fraudulently obtained.

In other words, the amount of money he got, by claiming to be wealthy, is an amount that he now can neither cough up, nor get anybody to lend to him. It's not just that he doesn't have the full $464 million in cash/liquid assets: he doesn't have enough to put up to get the loan*.

According to his own attorneys, he has approached 30 underwriters in an effort to secure a loan. None of them are interested in securing this loan with real estate or other non-liquid assets**.

So now he's asking the court to cut him a break, so that he can appeal the ruling. You know, the ruling saying that he lied about being rich, in order to fraudulently obtain loans. Because he doesn't have the money, and can't find anyone willing to believe him when he says he's good for it.

He's asking them to let him appeal without putting up the bond, so he can go back to court and prove that he really is rich and has no need to defraud anyone to get a loan.

(*No idea what they're asking in terms of collateral, but for reference, if you are a common criminal putting up a bond to get out of jail before trial, the bail bondsman usually asks 10% of the bond amount.)

(**Gee, I wonder why?)

Letitia James Turns the Screws on Trump

The inflated $464 million bond required to appeal effectively denies him due process.

By The Editorial Board

Wall Street Journal

March 18, 2024 

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s use of lawfare to take down Donald Trump is getting uglier by the day. She is now threatening to seize the former President’s assets after effectively denying him the ability to appeal the grossly inflated civil-fraud judgment against him.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers wrote Monday in a court filing that they’ve been unable to obtain a bond to guarantee last month’s $464 million judgment. Defendants are required to post bonds to appeal verdicts. Mr. Trump’s lawyers say securing the full bond would be “impossible” since most of his assets are illiquid.

One way to satisfy the bond would be to borrow against his real-estate holdings. But Mr. Trump’s lawyers say that only a handful of insurance companies have “both the financial capability and willingness to underwrite a bond of this magnitude,” and “the vast majority are unwilling to accept the risk associated with such a large bond.”

What’s more, his lawyers say that none of the insurers that Mr. Trump’s team approached “are willing to accept hard assets such as real estate as collateral for appeal bonds.” This isn’t surprising given the recent write-downs in commercial real estate and enormous uncertainty about their valuations, especially in places like New York. Insurers may also fear Ms. James’s legal retribution if they provide the bond to Mr. Trump.

Thus in order to appeal the judgment, Mr. Trump could have to unload property in a fire sale. If he were later to win on appeal, his lawyers rightly argue that he would have suffered an enormous, irreparable loss.

Ms. James no doubt knows she has Mr. Trump in a bind. She and courts have opposed his requests to reduce the bond even though a court-appointed independent monitor overseeing his businesses eliminates the risk he could dispose of or transfer his assets to make the judgment harder for the state to enforce.

As we wrote last month, the judgment is overkill. None of Mr. Trump’s business partners lost money lending to him or claimed to have been deceived by his erroneous financial statements. No witness during the trial said his alleged misrepresentations changed its loan terms or prices, and there was no evidence that he profited from his alleged deceptions.

Nonetheless, state trial judge Arthur Engoron ordered him to “disgorge” $355 million in “ill-gotten gains.” This sum was based on the interest-rate savings that a financial expert retained by Ms. James estimated Mr. Trump netted from his legerdemain. But this calculation seems dubious since banks said they didn’t alter their loan terms.

The judge also tacked on profits that Mr. Trump putatively made on properties for which he submitted false financial statements without demonstrating that the latter enable the former. He also added “pre-judgment interest” dating back to the day Ms. James launched her investigation in 2019. This makes Mr. Trump liable for alleged wrongdoings before he was even charged. All of this provides plausible grounds for appeal.

Whatever his transgressions, defendants are entitled to due process, which includes the right to appeal. Ms. James is trying to short-circuit the justice system to get Mr. Trump, as she promised she would during her 2018 campaign. Anyone who does business in New York ought to worry about how Ms. James could likewise twist the screws on them.

Fed bars former Santander Consumer executive over high-priced gifts

The Federal Reserve has banned a former Santander Consumer USA executive from the banking industry for improperly accepting high-priced gifts such as Super Bowl tickets and luxury hotel stays.

The former executive, Brent Huisman, “routinely solicited and accepted” gifts from auto auction companies that worked with Santander Consumer, the Fed said in an enforcement action made public Thursday. Huisman consented to the issuance of the order.

Huisman previously reached a settlement over the issue with Santander Consumer, which had sued him for accepting the gifts and for the misuse of confidential information. He had also agreed to pay $275,000 to Santander Consumer, the subprime U.S. auto lending affiliate of the Spanish banking giant Banco Santander.

Huisman accepted more than $1 million in gifts from auto auction companies, including Kentucky Derby tickets, first-class airfare and sponsorships for youth sports teams he coached, Dallas-based Santander Consumer said in its lawsuit.

Santander Consumer also alleged that Huisman and his wife used credit cards from an auction house that worked with Santander Consumer. The two used the cards to pay for sporting goods, airline tickets and a yacht rental in Cancun, the lawsuit said. The company said that it learned of the gifts after Huisman’s departure.

As the company’s senior director of asset remarketing, Huisman worked with auto auction companies to sell repossessed vehicles or cars that came off leasing arrangements.

He left Santander Consumer in June 2019, two months after asking staff to print confidential spreadsheets and presentations that contained company sales data and its fees with several vendors, the lawsuit said. He would later use those documents at an unnamed Santander Consumer competitor, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit said that Huisman��s conduct disrupted Santander Consumer’s business and harmed the company’s reputation and relationships with current and potential business partners.

Huisman’s lawyer did not respond to a request for comment. Santander Consumer declined to comment.

The Fed’s enforcement action prohibits Huisman from working for a bank without the central bank’s prior approval. Violations would open him up to further civil or criminal penalties.

Accounts Receivable Financing Company in California

State Financial: California's premier Accounts Receivable Financing Company, delivering top-tier solutions.

Check out the listing here: https://www.freelistingusa.com/listings/accounts-receivable-financing-company

[collapsedsquid]

Now First Republic is racing to reassure customers and clients that it can avoid the fate of Silicon Valley Bank, which collapsed last week after its depositors fled.

[...]

It’s a stunning turn of events for the lender, which built up a wealth-management franchise with some $271 billion in assets, putting it in rarefied air among American institutions. It’s the emphasis on that business that could make First Republic’s fate different from SVB and New York’s Signature Bank.

While it expanded rapidly into capital call lines of credit and lending to venture capitalists — services in which SVB specialized — its specialty serving the affluent is seen as making it more attractive to its larger rivals than its California counterpart.

“First Republic Bank grew up in wealth,” whereas “SVB started in portfolio companies,” said Joe Maxwell, managing partner at Fintop Capital, a fintech venture capital firm. Even though there’s a lot of overlap, where they started is still “part of their DNA,” he said.

[...]

Herbert founded First Republic in 1985, based on a hunch that jumbo home mortgages to wealthy, established Californians was too good a business to pass up. SVB’s model of providing banking to startups was conceived a few years prior — over a poker game. [...] Both originate single-family mortgages, but SVB had lent less than $9 billion. That’s a fraction of First Republic’s $99 billion balance, which made up 59% of their loan portfolio (it gave Mark Zuckerberg a 1.05% rate in 2012). It had another $22 billion in multifamily loans and $11 billion in other commercial real estate.

First Republic got rescued by some other banks while nobody would take SVB but the FDIC, part of that could be just the order in which they happened but I think Bloomberg is trying to throw some shade on this.

Gold as an Investment

Before jumping on the gold bandwagon, let us first put a damper on the enthusiasm around gold and examine some reasons why investing in gold poses some fundamental issues.

The main problem with gold is that, unlike other commodities such as oil or wheat, it does not get used up or consumed. Once gold is mined, it stays in the world. A barrel of oil, on the other hand, is turned into gas and other products that are expended in your car's gas tank or an airplane's jet engines. Grains are consumed in the food we and our animals eat. Gold, on the other hand, is turned into jewelry, used in art, stored in ingots locked away in vaults, and put to a variety of other uses. Regardless of gold's final destination, its chemical composition is such that the precious metal cannot be used up—it is permanent.

Because of this, the supply-demand argument that can be made for commodities such as oil and grains doesn't hold so well for gold. In other words, the supply will only go up over time, even if demand for the metal dries up.

History Overcomes the Supply Problem

Like no other commodity, gold has held the fascination of human societies since the beginning of recorded time. Empires and kingdoms were built and destroyed over gold and mercantilism. As societies developed, gold was universally accepted as a satisfactory form of payment. In short, history has given gold a power surpassing that of any other commodity on the planet, and that power has never really disappeared.

The U.S. monetary system was based on a gold standard until the 1970s.

1

Proponents of this standard argue that such a monetary system effectively controls the expansion of credit and enforces discipline on lending standards because the amount of credit created is linked to a physical supply of gold. It's hard to argue with that line of thinking after nearly three decades of a credit explosion in the U.S. led to the financial meltdown in the fall of 2008.

From a fundamental perspective, gold is generally viewed as a favorable hedge against inflation. Gold functions as a good store of value against a declining currency.

2

Investing in Gold

The easiest way to gain exposure to gold is through the stock market, via which you can invest in the shares of gold-mining companies. Investing in gold bullion won't offer the leverage you would get from investing in gold-mining stocks. As the price of gold goes up, miners' higher profit margins can boost earnings exponentially. Suppose a mining company has a profit margin of $200 when the price of gold is $1,000. If the price rises 10%, to $1,100 an ounce, the operating margin of the gold miner goes up to $300—a 50% increase.

Of course, there are other issues to consider with gold-mining stocks, namely political risk (because many operate in developing nations) and the difficulty of maintaining gold production levels.

The most common way to invest in physical gold is through an exchange-traded fund (ETF) like the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), which simply holds gold.

When investing in ETFs, pay attention to net asset value (NAV), as the purchase price can at times exceed NAV by a wide margin, especially when the markets are optimistic.

A list of gold-mining companies includes Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX.TO), Newmont Corp. (NEM), and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM), among others. Passive investors who want great exposure to the gold miners may consider the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX), which includes investments in all the major miners.

Alternative Investment Considerations

While gold is a good bet on inflation, it's certainly not the only one. Commodities in general benefit from inflation because they have pricing power. The key consideration when investing in commodity-based businesses is to go for low-cost producers. More conservative investors would also do well to consider inflation-protected securities like Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS. The one thing you don't want is to be sitting idle—in cash, thinking you're doing well—while inflation is eroding the value of your dollar.

Gold Price Performance

The price of gold depends on a complex array of factors. Because gold is priced in dollars, the value of the U.S. currency can have a significant impact on the performance of the precious metal. A strong dollar makes gold more expensive for buyers in other countries, potentially leading to lower gold prices. On the other hand, a weaker dollar makes gold more affordable for international purchasers and may bring increased prices. Since gold is seen as a hedge against inflation, the decline in value of fiat currencies and the market's expectations surrounding inflation can also affect gold prices.

3

These factors seem to be evident in the yellow metal's recent price history. Throughout most of 2022, despite soaring levels of inflation, gold prices actually dipped, likely driven lower by sustained strength in the dollar against other currencies. More recently, with inflation remaining stubbornly persistent despite the Federal Reserve's attempts to bring it under control, gold prices have recovered to more than $1,875 per ounce in January 2023, from around $1,656 per ounce in September 2022.

3

What's to Come

You can't ignore the effect of human psychology when it comes to investing in gold. The precious metal has always been a go-to investment during times of fear and uncertainty, which tend to go hand in hand with economic recessions and depressions.

In the articles that follow, we examine how and why gold gets its fundamental value, how it's used as a form of money, and which factors subsequently influence its price on the market—from miners to speculators to central banks. We will look at the fundamentals of trading gold and what types of securities or instruments are commonly used to gain exposure to gold investments. We'll look at using gold both as a long-term component of a diversified portfolio and as a short-term day trading asset. We'll look at the benefits of gold but also examine the risks and pitfalls and see if it lives up to the "gold standard."

What Makes Gold Valuable?

Aside from its literal shine and the symbolic relationship with wealth that has lasted throughout human civilization, gold plays an important role as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Unlike other commodities, gold does not get used up or consumed, imbuing the precious metal with a sense of everlasting value. Gold serves as a hedge against the declining value of currencies through inflation, which leads many investors to consider gold an alternative asset and a way of safeguarding their wealth.

What Is the Gold Standard?

Under the gold standard, the value of a currency is pegged to the value of gold. The Bretton Woods Agreement, which formed the framework for global currency markets starting at the end of World War II, established that the U.S. dollar was convertible to gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce, with other world currencies valued in relation to the dollar.

4

President Nixon ended the convertibility of the dollar to gold in 1971, signaling the end of the gold standard.

How Can I Invest in Gold?

There is a wide variety of options for investors who want exposure to gold. It's possible to invest directly in gold bullion, although the costs of storing and insuring physical gold can be significant. Investors also can turn to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that hold the precious metal or purchase shares of mining companies whose stock prices are correlated to gold's price performance.

The Bottom Line

Gold has held a special place in the human imagination since the beginning of recorded time. From an investment perspective, gold is attractive because of its potential to remain strong in difficult financial environments and to hedge against inflationary declines in the value of fiat currencies.

Although the U.S. dollar and other world currencies are no longer pegged to gold—as was the case when many countries operated under the gold standard—the precious metal continues to play an important role in the global economy.

What Are Legal Framework for Fintech in Vietnam

The 4.0 industrial revolution along with the explosion of the Internet has created the basis for the forward leap in all fields of life. The financial sector is not an exception and is directly affected by science and technology.  In addition to traditional finance, a new type of finance has been formed with superior characteristics which are appropriate for the current situation and actual needs, which is Fintech – Financial Technology. Despite the advantages of Fintech, the process of operating it faces certain difficulties including the legal challenges.

                               Fintech Lawyers in Vietnam

Fintech may utilize technologies being big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, biometrics and blockchain… There is no comprehensive legal framework for such at the present in Vietnam. Hence, regulations on science, technology, information technology and intellectual property can be applied depending on the nature of the matters including Law on Intellectual Property, Law on Information Technology, Law on High Technology, Law on Science and Technology, Law on Cyberinformation Security and Cybersecurity Law. These regulations partly facilitate the research, development and application of technological innovation together with ensuring the protection of databases and related intellectual property.

In particular, digital payment is a big part of Fintech. This sector is governed by Law on Credit Institutions, and regulations on non-cash payments, intermediary payment services. The Prime Minister also issued Decision 316 since March 9, 2021, allowing the use of mobile money to pay for goods and services of small value. This is the legal basis for the establishment of Fintech companies providing digital payment services and for the use of this method by customers. Fintech application also extend to Peer to Peer lending, asset management, and crypto currencies which are not yet clearly regulated in Vietnam.

Because of the importance of making legal regulations governing Fintech, Official Dispatch No. 2433/VPCP-KTTH dated August 31, 2021 of the Government Office directed: “The State Bank of Vietnam chairs and coordinates with relevant agencies to continue studying and concretizing regulations on the pilot mechanism of P2P lending in the process of developing and finalizing the draft Decree on a controlled trial mechanism. Control (Regulatory Sandbox) financial technology activities in the banking sector, report to competent authorities for consideration and decision in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents”. On September 6th, 2021, the Government issued Resolution No. 100/NQ-CP approving the proposal to formulate a Decree on a mechanism for controlled testing of Fintech activities in the field of the banking sector. In April 2022, after the research process, the State Bank of Vietnam published the Draft Decree on the controlled trial mechanism for Fintech activities in the banking sector. This draft is still at the stage of seeking public comment and has not been approved. The formation of the draft marks a new step in Vietnam’s legal framework for Fintech, laying a solid foundation for the later birth of the Decree.

In case the Draft is approved, the Government will officially issue the Decree on Controlled Trial Mechanism for Fintech in the banking sector. This Decree will serve as a basis for credit institutions and financial technology companies to test Fintech technology in their operations to a controlled extent. They can assess the effectiveness and possible risks when using Fintech solutions. Based on the results of the experiment, the legislature can identify issues that need to be corrected by legislation to promulgate legal documents regulating Fintech in the banking sector. If so, banking will be a pioneering field, leading to the formation of Fintech regulations in other fields.

In the face of the strong and rapid development of internet and its application, it is natural to have a separate legal framework for Fintech in Vietnam in the future. Fintech lawyers in Vietnam whom are interested in Fintech could also take part in the process of making the contribution through the comments on draft law drawing from the practical cases advising the clients. It is obvious that, some of the biggest companies in the word are in the technology industry. Among them, Fintech is the fastest growing start-up. The sooner legal framework on Fintech can be issued, the better for Vietnam to snap up opportunities to attract investment and catch up with the world.

Our Fintech, banking lawyers at ANT Lawyers - a Law firm in Vietnam will always follow up with development of legal framework in Fintech in Vietnam to provide update to clients.

Steps to Secure a Business Loan for Your Startup

Getting a business loan provides the capital required to grow, launch, and stabilise a startup company. As compared to established businesses getting a business loan for a startup can be challenging. Startup companies can improve their approval chances by selecting the right finances, familiarising themselves with their credit scores and identifying the most competitive lending options available. In this article, we will discuss steps to secure a business loan for your startup. 

Steps for Getting a Business Loan for a Startup

The following are the steps you need to take to secure a business loan for a startup. 

1. Assess Your Financial Requirements and Objectives

Determine how much capital you will need and how it will be used (for example, for equipment, inventory, or marketing). Create a profile of expected expenses and a timeline of when you will need funds. Reflect on your ability to repay based on projected revenue to ensure that you'll be responsibly servicing a loan.

2. Compare Different Types of Loans

Research term loans, SBA loans, micro-loans, home loan app, and lines of credit. Remember the interest rate, term repayments, what sort of collateral is required, and the amount you are allowed to borrow. 

3. Evaluate Your Credit Score and History

A higher credit score will improve your chances of approval and offer better interest rates. Check both personal and business credit scores as well. Lenders mainly use both types of credit scores for a startup company. Before beginning the application process, review your report for any discrepancies or issues and address them to ensure a smooth application.

4. Prepare a Comprehensive Business Plan

A good business plan should outline your business model, target market, revenue projections, and growth potential. You should include financial projections and break-even analysis so the lender can see how you plan to generate revenue and pay off the loan. Highlight competitive advantages, partnerships, or past successes that make your startup a low-risk investment.

5. Gather Financial Documents

Lenders will require documents like tax returns, bank statements, income statements, and balance sheets. For new businesses, be prepared to provide projections instead of historical financial data. Organise all necessary paperwork to streamline the application process and increase your credibility with lenders.

6. Identify Collateral or Guarantees

Many lenders require collateral, especially for larger loans, to secure the loan amount. Common forms of collateral include equipment, real estate, or inventory. If collateral is not feasible, some lenders may accept a personal guarantee, but be aware that this puts your assets at risk if the business fails to repay. 

An instant business loan can provide quick funding to help entrepreneurs cover urgent expenses and seize new growth opportunities.

Conclusion

Securing a business loan for your startup requires careful preparation, thorough research, and a clear understanding of your financing needs. Today, many startups turn to business loan app for streamlined access to funding, as these apps simplify the loan application process, allowing users to apply for and track loans conveniently from their smartphones. For instance, the Tata Capital Moneyfy App offers a user-friendly experience, providing various loan options with competitive rates, flexible repayment terms, and transparency throughout the process.
