Liquidity Issues? AM Bridge Loans to the Rescue!
The housing market has seen intense competition, massive price surges, and dwindling inventory since 2020 – But if you’re a real estate investor, all of that may be about to change, and for the better.
Mortgage rates are rising. In mid-June of 2022, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.81%. That may seem high; however, rates now are where they were right after the financial crisis of 2008, when many people were actively trying to obtain a mortgage.
Tumblr media
What makes this type of market great for real estate investors? These higher rates make it more difficult for would-be home buyers to afford new homes. It’s not that people are trying to buy extravagant houses, but that a modest home with an increase of $50 a month in mortgage payments could be the difference between buying or renting.
These higher costs are putting pressure on the housing market. It has already led to a decrease in mortgage applications to purchase and refinance for owner-occupied property, but an increase in investor mortgage applications getting in on high rental prices, demand, and lack of available rentals. What once was a seller’s market is shifting slightly, causing properties to stay on the market longer. For some, this has resulted in a liquidity issue for investors looking to sell their properties quickly to buy additional properties.
Luckily, there is a relatively simple and easy financing solution – bridge loans.
What is a Bridge Loan?
Investors use real estate bridge loans as a short-term financing tool to bridge gaps in financing. For example, an investor might take out a bridge loan against a property they are selling in order to purchase or act on another investment property immediately.
In this case, the homeowner may need the money before their property sells. They can now use an AM Bridge loan to extract equity today while waiting for the right price to sell.
Bridge loans can be secured quickly, often closing within a week to 10 days, and with little paperwork, because lenders are more interested in the collateral (i.e., a house) than a credit score or cash flow.
How to Use Bridge Loans to Free up Liquidity
Bridge loans allow investors to quickly free up liquidity using their real estate assets as collateral. This is a quick asset-backed mortgage where your financials or credit are not the primary underwriting criteria; the asset is. In order to better understand how this works, let’s take a look at two examples;
1. Waiting for a property to sell at the right price:
You’re selling a property but waiting for the right price. Another investment property becomes available that is too good to pass up, but you won’t have the available funds until after you sell the existing property. No problem. Extract the equity from the property you’re selling. Take advantage of the new investment. Wait for your property to sell and pay off the bridge. It’s that easy and quick!
2. Financial strain:
Often, unpredictable circumstances can impact our financial position. The equity in your property can be the perfect way to ride out the storm without worrying if you’ll qualify for a “conventional” mortgage loan. It is easy, quick, and straightforward to release up to 70% equity from your property based on the asset value alone. We can also structure these loans to where you do not have to make any monthly debt servicing for up to 12 months. This allows you to get the liquidity you need and then relax, reset and focus on your situation at hand.
When do Bridge Loans Benefit Investors?
As explained above, bridge loans are a great way to free up liquidity. A bridge loan may also be a good fit for you if you:
Need to free up liquidity in a fast-moving market
Can’t afford to take out a mortgage on a new property without selling your other property
Need to secure funds to acquire or renovate real estate quickly
Already purchased a property, but you can’t sell your current property quickly enough
Financial strain where conventional financing won’t work or is difficult to obtain
The housing market is evolving rapidly. Investors would be wise to understand their options so that they are able to adapt, take advantage of opportunities, and free up liquidity when they need it.
As a company, our only focus is providing U.S. market-rate mortgages for Foreign national and U.S. expat investors. Get in touch with us today to learn more about the structures and options of short term bridging finance solutions.

A Quick and Secure Way to Access Funding Guide by Mango Credit
Tumblr media
In the world of finance, obtaining a loan is a common practice for individuals and businesses alike. Traditional loans often involve a lengthy approval process, stringent criteria, and extensive documentation. However, there are alternative financing options available, and one such option gaining popularity is the caveat loan. Mango-Credit, a reputable financial institution, offers caveat loans, and this article aims to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding this unique financial product.
What are Caveat Loans?
A caveat loan, also known as an unregistered second mortgage or an equitable mortgage, is a secured loan that uses an existing property as collateral. Unlike traditional mortgages, caveat loans do not require registration on the title of the property. Instead, a caveat is lodged on the title, which acts as a legal notice of the lender's interest in the property.
Key Features of Mango-Credit's Caveat Loans
Speedy Approval Process:
Mango-Credit understands the importance of time when it comes to financial matters. The caveat loan application process is designed for quick approval, allowing borrowers to access funds promptly.
Flexible Repayment Terms:
Unlike traditional loans with fixed monthly payments, caveat loans offer flexibility in repayment. Mango-Credit works with borrowers to establish terms that align with their financial situation, ensuring a more manageable repayment process.
Asset-Based Collateral:
The primary collateral for a caveat loan is the borrower's real estate or property. Mango-Credit assesses the value of the asset to determine the loan amount, making it accessible for individuals who may not qualify for conventional loans.
Short-Term Solution:
Caveat loans are typically short-term, ranging from a few months to a couple of years. This makes them an ideal solution for those in need of quick capital for specific projects, investments, or to bridge a temporary financial gap.
Transparent Terms and Conditions:
Mango-Credit is committed to transparency. Borrowers are provided with clear terms and conditions, ensuring they fully understand the repayment structure, interest rates, and any associated fees.
Benefits of Choosing Mango-Credit's Caveat Loans
Accessibility:
Mango-Credit's caveat loans offer accessibility to individuals and businesses that may face challenges securing financing from traditional sources. The asset-based approach widens the pool of eligible borrowers.
Customized Solutions:
The flexibility in repayment terms allows Mango-Credit to tailor loan solutions to the unique needs of each borrower. This personalized approach enhances the borrower's ability to successfully meet financial obligations.
Quick Response to Financial Needs:
With an expedited approval process, Mango-Credit provides a swift response to urgent financial needs. This speed is crucial for individuals and businesses requiring immediate capital to seize opportunities or address pressing financial issues.
Conclusion
Caveat loans from Mango Credit provide a valuable alternative financing option for individuals and businesses seeking quick and secure access to funds. With their competitive rates, flexible terms, and streamlined application process, Mango Credit's caveat loans can help borrowers achieve their financial goals efficiently.

I love you, but I can't
1988, 1.8k words, hurt no comfort, break up, unhealthy relationship dynamics, unhappy ending
“I can have it painted. Remodel.” “But you won’t.” Sometimes it’s really fucking inconvenient how well Jonny knows him. How stubbornly he insists on demonstrating it. How Jonny always knows better. “Then what will you have me do? Live out of the team hotel?” Pat can feel his heart beating faster, his muscles tensing, everything in him shoring up for a fight, another blow of epic proportions. It’s one of Jonny’s worst qualities, how he can be this brick wall that Pat smashes himself against again and again, grinding himself into dust.
“Don’t buy it. You can’t live there,” Jonny says, because he’s a weirdo who doesn’t know how to start a phone conversation with ‘hello’.
Patrick rolls his eyes, glad that Jonny can’t see him, and closes out their now moot text thread to pull up the real estate listing again. “Why? What’s wrong with it?”
He swipes through the pictures, even though he’s seen them all before. It’s a nice apartment. Marble countertops, floor to ceiling windows, good neighborhood…
“It’s a shoebox,” Jonny complains, sounding offended on Patrick’s behalf. Which is oddly sweet, in a very roundabout Jonny way, but also entirely misguided.
“It’s a two bedroom. I’m not gonna need a home theater and basement gym and rooftop garden, and nobody’s asking me to shelter any rookies.” It’s just gonna be Patrick living there, how much space could he possibly need? “I’ll hardly be here, anyways.”
He doesn’t specify whether he means during the season or long-term. In too many ways still, he doesn’t want to be here. But he has to be, for now.
“Travel in the east is a lot shorter, you’ll be there more than you know.”
Looks like Jonny is still as loath to talk about the future as Pat is thinking about it. At least they still have something in common.
“I can’t afford a bigger place. Prices in New York are crazy, man.”
Jonny laughs. It’s not mean, per se, but something about it still stings. “Like fuck you can’t. I’ve seen your accounts.”
Pat doesn’t really want a bigger place. It’s not like Jonny will be there, taking up space with his clutter and his presence and his dreams of buying a dog. It’s just gonna be Pat rattling around in there, and he doesn’t want to get lost wandering aimlessly from empty room to empty room, thinking what could’ve been. He doesn’t know how to say any of that to Jonny, though, doesn’t want this to end in another fight.
“What about this one instead?” He sends Jonny another link.
It’s slightly bigger, and consequently a lot more expensive. Fucking New York, man. Pat’s not really relishing the idea of dropping so much money on a place he has no idea how long he’s even gonna be in. The team had offered to board him in a hotel for the remainder of the season, but that prospect is even more unappealing than buying something short term. ‘New York is a hot market, you can always flip it,’ Steve, his finance guy, had said, and Pat didn’t have any retort to that, so he’d started to make some calls.
“No,” Jonny says, quick enough that he can’t have done much more than pull up the site and glance at the listing.
Pat pinches the bridge of his nose. He only had a question about the energy rating and thermal insulation methods because he remembered vaguely reading something about long term health effects, but he really should’ve known better than to ask Jonny. It’s a hard habit to kill, still his first instinct whenever he turns around, to ensure Jonny’s on board with any major decision because for the longest time it used to be imperative he was. That’s what you do when you’re together. Jonny’s always been his go-to person.
And Pat misses that. More than the team, and the UC, and playing for a franchise he grew up in, that’s been so good to him, in a city that felt like home. He misses having Jonny there, a steady presence by his side, misses having someone to talk to, someone who’ll give Pat his honest opinion. Jonny used to be his sounding board and his reality check and his rock. But Pat’s in New York now, chasing a long buried dream, and Jonny is playing what’s gonna be his last games in Chicago, even if neither of them is willing to admit it yet.
Just another giant elephant in the room. There’s so many nowadays Pat feels like he’s barely got space left to breathe, skirting from one conversational land mine to another, always on tiptoes, braced for the next explosion. It’s why he went, and Jonny stayed.
“Too small?” He asks, and fails to keep the bitterness out of his voice.
Jonny scoffs, but doesn’t rise to the bait. “It’s ugly.”
It’s true, the walls are a putrid yellow color that made Pat flinch the first time he saw it, and the all black kitchen isn’t exactly his style.
“I can have it painted. Remodel.”
“But you won’t.”
Sometimes it’s really fucking inconvenient how well Jonny knows him. How stubbornly he insists on demonstrating it. How Jonny always knows better.
“Then what will you have me do? Live out of the team hotel?” Pat can feel his heart beating faster, his muscles tensing, everything in him shoring up for a fight, another blow of epic proportions.
It’s one of Jonny’s worst qualities, how he can be this brick wall that Pat smashes himself against again and again, grinding himself into dust. Jonny can be so goddamn absolute, hard and unforgiving, managing to make Pat feel dumb and small and stupid for trying. Pat bites his lip, using the pain as a focal point to push the tears threatening to spill over back down, tries to breathe even though his chest feels tight. He can’t even tell whether it’s frustration or hurt that’s making him feel this way, emotions he’s not willing to examine bubbling inside him, vulnerable and raw.
Maybe he’d know if he’d gone to therapy like Jonny wanted him to, but Pat didn’t particularly feel like letting a stranger tell him all the things he was doing wrong in their relationship. He got enough from Jonny on that.
Jonny’s breathing on the other end of the line, so Pat knows the call hasn’t disconnected. Jonny’s quiet, though, probably clenching his jaw and staring off into the distance, drawn inward and fucking impenetrable, alone with his thoughts, leaving Pat like a stranger standing outside, banging against the door begging to be let inside.
This is why they stopped working together, why Pat had to go away, break free.
A tiny part of Pat had hoped that with distance, not seeing each other every day fighting over unopened mail and dirty dishes and stinky socks on a wet bathroom floor, it would get better. That maybe having some time away from each other would allow them both to find their equilibrium again. Instead Pat’s never felt more off-kilter, trying to acclimate to a new team and new city, everything suddenly blue and loud and big, and even winning had felt strange somehow, like Pat didn’t really deserve it.
“What about this one,” Jonny says, because when shit gets tough he’s always liked to retreat to the task at hand, as if everything would somehow magically fix itself if Jonny could just ignore it long enough. Pat’s phone plings with another link. He swipes the notification away.
Nothing’s really changed. It’s been a couple weeks now, and Pat thought that maybe— but Jonny’s still barely talking to him, and when he does it’s about inane stuff, or this. No matter how hard Pat tries, somehow they always end up fighting. They used to be on the same side, but now there’s a rift between them, and Pat doesn’t know which one of them switched sides, or when, or how.
It would be easier if it were something tangible. If someone had cheated, or said something stupid, or whatever. Then they could’ve fought about it, and it would’ve been ugly and a shitshow, but they could’ve moved past it eventually. Or at least Pat would’ve known why they stopped working. Instead it’s been this, a slow death that Pat hadn’t recognized before he’d woken up one morning and suddenly found himself on the outside of Jonny’s fortifications, a wall impossible to scale.
He’s so fucking tired.
The link is an olive branch of sorts, a chance for them to keep talking.
But Pat’s been down this road too many times before.
Jonny’s gonna send him links of condos that Pat is gonna hate, if not for the condos themselves then for that fact that Jonny picked them, Pat resenting that he let Jonny have a say in this and yet unable to tell him to back off. So he’s gonna end up giving in to one of Jonny’s choices just to keep the peace, and resent Jonny even more for it, and himself for being a pushover, and Jonny will be annoyed that Pat’s crabby, and he won’t understand what the problem is when Pat tries to talk about it, because Pat agreed to the condo didn’t he, and if he doesn’t like the condo why did he buy it, when it isn’t even about the goddamn condo. It’s never been about the condo, or money, or their last summer vacation, or Pat spending Christmas with his family, or Jonny’s kooky nutritionist and faith crystal healer, or the right AC setting at night.
It’s always been about them. And Pat can’t do it anymore.
He tried, he tried so goddamn fucking hard. But nothing Pat tries ever makes a difference, nothing he does will ever be good enough, nothing he says manages to get through to Jonny anymore.
He’s been shut out, with no way in.
The rift between them is yawning, a gaping abyss, and Pat can feel it swallow him whole.
“Sorry, Jonny, I don’t think this—” Pat chokes halfway through the sentence, all the old hurt and anger flooding through him anew, an unhealed wound someone’s picked off the scab bleeding fresh and scarlet red. “I have to go.”
He hits disconnect, not giving Jonny a chance to reply.
A drop hits the black screen of his cell phone, and Pat pushes it away, buries his head in his arms folded on the table, and cries. Ugly, wracking sobs that shake his whole body, and once he’s let go is like an avalanche, the dam breaking, the flood sweeping every last, flimsy defense away, leaving Pat floating and unmoored.
It hurts worse than anything Pat’s ever felt before. His chest is the epicenter of it all, pain radiating outwards to his limbs, like someone drove an ice pick straight through his sternum. He tries to curl up, but it’s no use. The pain is inside him, there’s no refuge. It’s cold and cruel, a gaping hole where he used to be whole, like someone’s gone and ripped away a piece of Patrick.
Gone gone gone. Should’ve known better, should’ve tried harder. I hate you, I miss you, I need you. Fucking why, I’m so fucking tired, why did it have to end like this. I can’t I can’t I can’t, oh God.
Why do I fucking love you. Why does it have to hurt like this.
No matter how tight he screws his eyes shut, the truth is right there, staring him in the face, hammering behind his temples to the beat of the ice pick getting hammered into his chest, a steady drum ripping Pat apart.
Pat needs to get out. He needs to breathe. He can’t do this anymore.
Him and Jonny are over.

Downtown Gotham: Part One
Tumblr media
Elliot Center: Construction on the Elliot Center was officially completed in 1937. Gotham City was still recovering from the Great Depression back then, and the opening of a new media oriented business resulted in thousands of new jobs. As a media conglomerate, the Elliots have an almost infinite amount of information not only on Gotham City, but its citizens as well. This makes them potentially quite dangerous. With the rapid rise of new technologies and digital footprint tracking, I've had to keep a careful eye on the information they gather so that our identities are not compromised. Thankfully, a discreet visit to their servers is usually all that's necessary to adjust any potentially dangerous information they may acquire.
Tumblr media
First Church of Gotham City: In 1612, not long after the first Dutch settlers arrived in Gotham City, a church was built on one of Gotham's main islands. It was the first permanent Christian establishment of the new colony. The First Church of Gotham had to be almost completely rebuilt after a harsh storm toppled most of the structure more than a century ago, giving it its current architectural look. Its towers offer a good view of the New Trigate Bridge and the shores of the Financial District. It was named a historical landmark in 1962 after the Elliots showed interest in buying and demolishing the church to expand the Gotham Gazette's office space. This is also where I met Azrael for the first time. He had been sent by his order to keep an eye on Gotham City. He left after a while, though I suspect his order is far from finished with this city. If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll be forced to confront Jean-Paul sooner or later.
Tumblr media
Gotham City Ferry Company: The Gotham City Ferry Company has existed in one form or another since the early 1800s. Bartholomew Wycliffe first established it as a private company to run ferries to the smaller towns across the harbor. It was converted as a public utility in the early 1900s as the popularity of cars grew. The workers went on strike a few years ago after a series of incidents brought to light how corrupt management cut corners on safety, leading to substandard equipment and situations that endangered their employees. The union attempted to negotiate the purchase of new boats, as most of the ones in use at the Ferry were proven to be deathtraps, but the Transportation Commissioner refused anything but short-term fixes due to budgetary constraints. A sizeable donation from the Wayne Foundation helped in the acquisition of second hand yet safe barges. Now the ferry can make almost twice as many journeys in a week, while maintaining proper safety standards.
Tumblr media
Gotham Gazette: The Gotham Gazette was created by Edward Elliot almost two centuries ago to bring worldwide news to the citizens of Gotham City. In 1894, the Gazette's offices and presses were moved into a mid-rise office building before it was renovated into a new tower in 1935. Ever since I came back to Gotham City after completing my training, stories about me have appeared on the front page of the Gazette almost weekly. Alfred does his best to turn down any interview requests, but sometimes they are inevitable, especially when they come from Vicki Vale. She doesn't give up easily. But the Gazette is also an important tool in keeping my secret identity hidden. Having articles written about Bruce Wayne's drunken adventures helps keep any suspicion away.
Tumblr media
Gotham City General Hospital: Gotham City General was first opened in the 1870s under the name St. Luke's Hospital. It was later expanded and then sold to the Gotham General Hospital Foundation. In the 1970s, my parents led several fundraising efforts to further develop and upgrade the hospital. When I returned to Gotham City, I decided to continue their efforts and financed the construction of a new modern pavilion, which has been named the Wayne Family Memorial Wing. After Leslie Thompkins retired, there was a brief moment when we needed a new doctor on hand in case of a medical emergency. One of my contacts pointed me in the direction of a nurse who works in the Trauma Unit. I only needed his help a handful of times, but he was reliable.

I'm settling into the new job and I love it but I got an email asking me to interview with the public library on Friday and this is my own personal hell
I'm going to take the interview but if I get a job offer I don't know which job I'd pick, both are great
Current job is a fantastic fit for me but there's no guarantee I get my contract extended after it ends in April (but I'd love it if it did 😭)
Public library job has a slightly higher hourly rate but less hours (28h/week vs 37.5h/week, it comes out to about 1k less a month and a full work day of free time more each week than the current job) with roughly the same commute (20mins more a day for public library, wouldn't mind sitting on the bus longer BC I'd be on my feet more all day) BUT it is a permanent position from the start not a short term contract with the possibility of a future permanent position
Law library vs public library would have different tasks and work environments, I've done roughly the same amount of time in both and love both
This feels like a really stupid problem to have but I don't want to burn bridges in either direction
I've always wanted to work at the public library, but if the law library gave me a permanent position I could see myself happily working there for at least 5 years and getting my finances and living situation in order and putting off the decision of if I want to shift to public libraries until I have a stronger resume and references (or maybe I decide I like this library enough to give up on the public library dream)
I wish this was happening later into my current contract so I had a better idea of my chances of getting a permanent position

Who are Today’s Migrants?
     People migrate to different locations for many different reasons. Sometimes it is expected of them; at times people choose to migrate for things such as finances, career opportunities, or to seek refuge. Every immigrant has a unique experience on their journey. I had the privilege to interview someone from Bogota, Colombia. They migrated to the United States in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
     Immigrants often have forces that cause them to migrate; these are referred to as pulls. The person I interviewed was pulled to the United States for two different reasons. One of the reasons was to earn their degree and in turn have solid career opportunities. The second reason the person I interviewed was pulled to the United States was to pursue a collegiate athletic career. They have been a dedicated bowler for ten years, so they wanted to contact college coaches in the United States to get into a good college bowling program. Overall, the opportunity to prosper as an athlete and a business person pulled them to the United States. 
     Sometimes people who migrate have factors that push them away from their home country. The person I interviewed had things that pushed them away from Colombia. The lack of easily accessible educational and athletic resources pushed them away from Colombia.  They explained that in Colombia there were not as many resources to learn about leadership. It was also explained that organizations in schools are harder to be a part of due to exclusivity and lack of advertisement for them. In Colombia they explained that college bowling is not offered, so in order to be part of athletic organizations people have to go through bigger organizations and the government. They explained that these obstacles stunted their growth as a student and an athlete. Ultimately, the lack of easily available educational and athletic resources pushed them away from Colombia. 
     When the person I interviewed was in the process of migrating they encountered different barriers. Barriers are obstacles that make migration difficult. The COVID-19 pandemic made appointments to obtain things they needed hard to secure. Also, paperwork for housing in the university they were coming to was heavily delayed in getting processed in time. Another point they made was that certain programs in the United States were more difficult to get into when they were still a non resident; being a non resident would cause disqualification from certain resources. An unfortunate barrier that was encountered as well involved this person’s race. They felt that because of their accent and ethnicity they were not treated fairly or taken as seriously sometimes. They even said people assumed she was here to aid with the sales of illegal drugs! To summarize, the person I interviewed encountered different barriers when migrating. 
     Bridges were also experienced by the person I interviewed when they migrated. Bridges are things that enable a person to migrate. My interview subject has family who live in the United States; they helped them get settled and prepare for life here. By the time they arrived they were set for the most part in terms of what they needed to live. It was also helpful for them to have their whole college bowling team to help them acclimate and get resources. They emphasized how grateful they are for the people who helped her move and settle in. In short, bridges were also experienced by the person I interviewed when they migrated. 
     The person I interviewed was surprised by different things in the United States. One thing was how difficult the culture shock was for them. They claim that in comparison to Colombians, Americans are much more selfish. They said people in Colombia are more inclined to lend a helping hand, greet people warmly, or do important favors for strangers. As a result, they said they made the character adjustment to be less affectionate and outward automatically. A positive surprise was the amount of opportunity. They knew they wanted to come to the United States for opportunity but the amount of resources they obtained was still a shock. To sum up, the person I interviewed encountered some surprises in the United States. 
     Everyone has their own idea about “the American dream.” The person I interviewed said their American dream of coming to pursue and excel in their passions is coming to life. They have more opportunity than they ever could have imagined. They said they are extremely glad they chose to migrate to the United States. Every immigrant has their own unique experience with their migration. It was very interesting to hear about what influenced someone’s migration, their obstacles, and how they feel overall in another country away from their country of origin.

Last year, climate action was all about declaring dates for achieving net-zero carbon emissions. At the 2021 UN’s climate change conference in Glasgow, COP26, India pledged that it would reach net-zero by 2070, a date just 10 years behind China, despite its per capita emissions being some 30 years behind China’s and only half the present world average. COP27 is just days away, but this year many countries are distracted with energy security issues, instead of upping their game for more aggressive emissions cuts.
This COP, we must shift the conversation from futuristic net-zero ambitions toward practical and equitable emissions trajectories. The rich and overall high emitters have to reduce emissions aggressively, while the low-emissions poor must lower their growth rate of emissions on a credible path toward zero.
Development from a very low base inevitably means the poor must increase their emissions in the short term. The good news is this should still fit within global emissions targets if high emitters reduce emissions quickly up front. Unfortunately, the push toward zero has been interpreted as a prohibition on public support for new unabated fossil fuel energy. This is both unfair and unviable.
Developing nations need energy, which may require a little fossil fuel
Developing countries are being asked to “leapfrog” to renewable energy (RE). However, if we don’t allow any new fossil fuel investments, then RE is difficult to scale because it’s intermittent. How do you meet the evening peak electricity demand with solar power? Batteries are still very expensive. Today’s optimal electricity grid design may maximize RE by relying on minimal fossil fuels for occasional peak needs. Batteries should soon be able to meet much or even most of the peaks cost-effectively, but if one designs for zero fossil fuel, then it’s very expensive.
The good news is that simply having some fossil fuel capacity doesn’t mean it will get used much – the marginal cost of RE (and a battery) is virtually zero, once built. As my research group modeled for India in detail, an optimal design focuses on high RE first, without worrying about storage just yet. The cost savings from not over-ambitiously getting down to zero carbon can be spent on accelerating up-front decarbonization, which lowers cumulative emissions.
For the poorest of the poor, the real need is electricity access, regardless of fuel. Sub-Saharan Africa is where most people lacking modern energy services live. Giving 250 million homes electricity connectivity, with 35 kWh/month usage (enough for a TV, refrigerator, and fan), even entirely from coal, would only be 0.25% of global emissions. And most new builds don’t rely on coal – solar is already far cheaper, at least for the daytime.
A push towards RE-only has created pressure to not finance natural gas in poorer countries, despite them being told for decades that natural gas was a bridge fuel to a cleaner future, and one that would avoid the use of coal. This pressure hurts not just energy security but also food security. Recently, there was global pushback against a natural gas fertilizer plant planned in Bangladesh that would be three times more efficient than older designs. This isn’t climate justice.
Developing regions want to minimize their use of fossil fuels, such as India’s ambition to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil electricity capacity by 2030. This would quadruple India’s current RE capacity (excluding hydropower), and more than double its current total installed capacity. But rising RE doesn’t mean switching off coal prematurely before viable alternatives emerge, more so because India’s cumulative emissions from all sources would still be modest. In reality, India’s 2019 per capita coal consumption was only half the world average when we adjust India’s tons consumed. This is because of its lower energy content per ton, which means lower emissions.  In contrast, India used only about 22% of the world average of oil and gas per capita.
Globally, total oil and gas emissions were 25% more than from coal, even after factoring in coal-based emissions from cement. Thus, it is inconsistent to focus disproportionally on lower coal use instead of lower total emissions. It is also inconsistent to focus on emissions created by new builds in developing regions, instead of emissions from already built infrastructure that is overwhelmingly in high-emissions regions.
The poor need more energy, and much of it will be clean energy which is already viable. It’s the last fraction of energy that is hard to keep fossil-free. It can be done – at a cost. That cost should disproportionally be borne by the rich, first as they go full zero and pay the early adopter premium, and second, through financial support for developing nations. The premium is important, not just to cover the cost of developing batteries, but also for green hydrogen to avoid industrial emissions.
Such support should be part of promised aid or concessional finance and certainly not more traditional debt. At COP15 in 2009, there was a pledge to provide $100 billion of annual climate support for the poor by 2020, but the form such support would take was never specified. Sadly, the pledged funds haven’t yet fully materialized, and the date has since been pushed back to 2023.
Many developing countries are asking for funds due to climate-related “loss and damage.” How much materializes remains to be seen. Regardless of what form it takes, all climate finance support should be flexible, allowing recipients to not just mitigate their emissions, but also pay towards adaptation and resilience.
Present net-zero plans are not just unfair – they are insufficient
The focus on “net-zero” also brings with it many other problems, including of accounting and fairness. Today’s offsets are often accounting tricks, whereby an entity helps avoid emissions elsewhere, often in a developing country, and claims that as negative for them. Financiers discussing offsets have repeatedly told me “All carbon is equal.”  John Kerry recently told African leaders “Mother nature does not care where those emissions come from”.
These physical realities miss several issues. First, if all carbon is equal, then we cannot ignore historically accumulated carbon. Second, when considering offsets, paying to avoid future emissions elsewhere doesn’t negate emissions – it simply avoids growth. Not to mention a lot of “carbon finance” is just a label. It’s often not additional money and, even worse, is routinely debt funding for things like solar projects which would find funding anyways. Third, avoiding all carbon isn’t equal. Cheaper low-hanging fruit like offsets in poorer countries must not absolve the rich from aggressively ending their emissions from hard-to-abate sectors like home heating, industry, and transportation. The recent U.S. Inflation Reduction Act was a step in this direction by focusing on increasing the supply and use of clean energy.
Keeping the world within 1.5°C maximum average temperature rise needs aggressive steps and while most countries are doing more than in the past, their targets don’t add up to staying within 1.5°C. Even worse, their policies and actions don’t match the targets. Countries like the UK and the United States tout lowered emissions, but that’s from a very high base, and they also benefited from a one-time shift from coal to cheap gas, which isn’t available to many poorer countries. Another issue is many developed nations import a large fraction of their emissions as embedded carbon, which doesn’t show up in national emissions accounting. The UK imported 41% of domestic emissions as embedded carbon in 2019, growing from 11% in 1990.
The rich already have saturated development: the cars, refrigerators, roads, and homes they need to build are mostly replacement stock, although they will also need infrastructure to support the clean energy transition. However, poorer countries’ growth needs are far more than just replacement of fossil fuels with zero-carbon infrastructure. Given such high growth can’t be met easily by zero-carbon solutions, their emissions will need to rise in the short run. But the poor’s rise in emissions will be less than the likely failure in reduction by high emitters in the coming decade.
Rich countries must reduce their emissions faster
Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 requires a 3.3% reduction each year from 2020, assuming a constant annual decline. However, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s special report on staying within 1.5°C maximum average temperature rise stated we need a faster reduction up front: a 45% decline by 2030 from 2010 levels. Unfortunately, global fossil CO2 emissions grew by 10% from 2010 to 2019. Thus, in this decade, we need to accelerate the decline and also get to zero sooner to make up for the extra emissions in the previous decade. This means that to achieve the 1.5°C goal, the annual decline must be more than twice as fast as the IPCC report suggests. And the decline must be even greater from richer high-emitting countries.
Unfortunately, high emitters have collectively never reduced their emissions over a decadal timespan. The UK, the top performer out of the G7 countries, reduced its domestic CO2 emissions by 35% from 1990 to 2019. But this is only an 1.2% annual reduction, falling short by more than 2% annually compared to the 3.3% target. And this is ignoring imports of embedded carbon.
Not only do we need high emitters to aggressively reduce emissions, but buried in the details of the IPCC report and far less publicized is IPCC’s finding that virtually all pathways within a 1.5°C temperature rise or with limited overshoot also require significant Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). While planting trees is one technique, it doesn’t scale well, more so for developing regions where land pressures are higher. Plus, we have the risk of trees and their stored carbon going up in smoke with forest fires.
Many CDR plans involve literally sucking carbon dioxide out of the air for long-term storage, an expensive prospect through direct air capture. The volumes that must be removed are enormous. Taking a mid-range IPCC estimate, 500 Gt of CO2 removal means 10 Gt/year for the second half the century, or about a quarter of present annual emissions every year. This burden must also not fall on the low emitters of today, the poor, even if they represent a high­­­­­ share of global emissions post-2050. This is because the need for CDR is overwhelmingly due to over-emissions by today’s high emitters. Also, expectations of future CDR should not become a rationalization for not mitigating today.
What do developing regions need?
RE is already viable at large scale, but its deployment in many developing regions lags its potential. This is where developed countries can help through improved finance (especially cheaper capital). While many cross-border projects carry risks, some of the risks could either be shared by developed countries or mitigated by multilateral agencies who can provide counter-guarantees or other risk-reduction mechanisms.
At COP26, a coalition of financiers announced $130 trillion was available for the transition, but this money is the gross total funding pool, and not necessarily incremental money available to pay a premium for becoming carbon-free. The good news is that financial help as climate support is only required for the incremental cost of going green, akin to viability gap funding, and not all the costs.
In addition to finance, access to state-of-the-art technology is also important. While much of this may be owned by the private sector, government nudges and incentives can help.  As well as technology, countries need secure supply chains. Given many of the global minerals for clean energy are concentrated or controlled by a handful of countries, developing countries need help to ensure they aren’t last in line or forced to pay a premium. COVID-19 and Russia’s war in Ukraine showed how the poor became the last to get access to vaccines or global supply chains.
Growing RE is one part of the solution. But given existing fossil fuel plants in developing regions (especially new ones) aren’t going away any time soon, we need to make them cleaner, more efficient, and flexible. Unfortunately, a global finance model of “don’t touch any fossil fuel project” means a missed opportunity to reduce local air pollution and make the transition less expensive.
COP27 is an opportunity for countries to not just ratchet up their ambitions, but also give credence to their ambitions. We need aggressive targets for all countries – but the targets won’t be the same everywhere. Poorer countries already face the brunt of climate change, but they want to do their fair share of mitigation. They may even do some amount of unfair share. But this cannot mean climate absolutism.

Introduction:
Business growth is often the ultimate goal for any entrepreneur. However, expanding a business requires more than just a solid strategy—it also requires sufficient capital. For many businesses, especially small to medium enterprises (SMEs), the lack of funds can hinder their ability to grow. This is where business working capital loans come in. These loans are specifically designed to provide the short-term financing necessary to keep operations running smoothly while also supporting business expansion initiatives. In this article, we’ll explore the role that working capital loans play in business growth.
Supporting Day-to-Day Operations
The primary role of business working capital loans is to support the daily operational needs of a business. Cash flow shortages can occur for various reasons, including seasonal fluctuations, delayed payments from clients, or unexpected expenses. Working capital loans help ensure that businesses have enough liquidity to cover operational expenses such as payroll, rent, and utilities, allowing the business to continue functioning without interruption.
Funding Expansion Initiatives
While working capital loans are typically used for day-to-day operations, they can also be leveraged for business expansion. Whether you’re looking to launch a new product, open a new location, or invest in new technology, working capital loans can provide the necessary funds to support these initiatives.
For example, if your business is experiencing a sudden increase in demand but lacks the funds to purchase additional inventory, a working capital loan can help bridge the gap, allowing you to take advantage of growth opportunities.
Improving Cash Flow Management
Effective cash flow management is essential for business growth. Without proper cash flow, even profitable businesses can face difficulties in paying bills, suppliers, or employees. By providing a cushion for cash flow shortages, business working capital loans can help businesses maintain healthy cash flow levels, ensuring they have the financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities.
Enabling Strategic Investments
Strategic investments, such as marketing campaigns, new equipment, or hiring additional staff, are often necessary for business growth. However, these investments typically require significant upfront capital. Business capital loans can provide the funds needed to make these investments, enabling your business to grow faster and more efficiently.
Conclusion:
Business working capital loans play a vital role in supporting both the day-to-day operations and long-term growth of a business. By providing the necessary funds to manage cash flow, support expansion initiatives, and make strategic investments, these loans can help businesses seize growth opportunities and achieve their full potential. For any business looking to grow, a working capital loan can be the key to unlocking new possibilities

These loans are attractive due to their lower interest rates compared to other types of credit and the ability to tailor the loan term to match the lifecycle of the business investment. This strategic alignment between financing and business planning can provide businesses with the stability needed to focus on their core operations and growth initiatives.
Alternative Financing: Short-Term Solutions and Flexibility
While term loans provide a structured funding route, many SMEs also turn to more flexible financing options to meet other operational demands. These might include lines of credit, invoice financing, or short-term loans that cater to immediate or unpredictable financial needs, such as covering operational costs or capitalizing on unforeseen business opportunities.
Leveraging SME Business Loans in Singapore
For SMEs, particularly those looking to scale operations or boost working capital, SME Business Loans in Singapore offers a tailored solution. These loans are specifically designed to meet the needs of smaller enterprises, which might not have the extensive assets or long credit history typically required for larger commercial loans. SME business loans often come with more flexible criteria and can include options like revolving credit facilities or trade financing, which are essential for maintaining liquidity and ensuring continuous operation.
Accessing SME Business Loans: A Path to Growth
Securing an SME Business Loan in Singapore involves understanding the various products available and choosing one that fits the company's needs and repayment capability.

Understanding The Costs And Fees Associated With Singapore Bridging Loans
When considering a Singapore Bridging Loan, it's crucial to understand the associated costs and fees. Bridging finance can be a valuable tool for managing short-term financial needs, particularly in property transactions. However, the costs involved can vary widely depending on several factors.
Interest Rates
One of the primary costs associated with a Singapore Bridging Loan is the interest rate. Bridging loans typically come with higher interest rates compared to standard loans because they are designed to cover short-term financial gaps. Interest rates can vary based on the lender, the loan amount, and the borrower’s creditworthiness. On average, bridging finance in Singapore might carry an interest rate of 1% to 2% per month, but rates can fluctuate. It's essential to compare rates from different lenders to secure the most favorable terms.
Processing Fees
Lenders often charge processing fees for handling the Singapore Bridging Loan application. These fees cover administrative costs and are typically a one-time charge. Processing fees can range from 1% to 2% of the loan amount, depending on the lender and the complexity of the loan. It's important to factor these fees into your overall cost assessment.
Valuation Fees
Before approving a bridging loan, lenders generally require a property valuation to assess the collateral's worth. This valuation ensures that the property’s value justifies the loan amount. Valuation fees can vary based on the property type and location but usually range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Make sure to include these fees in your budget when considering a bridging loan.
Legal Fees
Legal fees are another potential cost when securing a Singapore Bridging Loan. These fees cover the costs of drafting and reviewing loan agreements and other legal documentation. Legal fees can vary significantly based on the complexity of the loan and the lawyer's rates, typically ranging from a few hundred to several thousand dollars.
Prepayment Penalties
Some lenders may impose prepayment penalties if you decide to repay the loan early. These penalties compensate the lender for the interest they would have earned had the loan been kept for the full term. It's crucial to understand the terms regarding prepayment penalties before finalizing your loan agreement.
Additional Costs
Depending on the lender and loan terms, other costs might include insurance premiums and administrative charges. It's vital to review the loan agreement thoroughly and ask your lender about any additional costs that may arise.
In summary, understanding the costs and fees associated with a Singapore Bridging Loan is essential for effective financial planning. By considering interest rates, processing fees, valuation costs, legal fees, and potential prepayment penalties, you can make a more informed decision about whether bridging finance is the right solution for your needs. For detailed information on costs and how to apply, visit resources like Bridging Loans Singapore, which offer valuable insights and guidance.
