Development loans fund a step you can describe: a second shift, a unit build-out, a book of stock for a contract you have already won.
We read the plan, but we lend against the evidence — the order, the lease, the last two years. Interest-only for a short build period is sometimes available before amortization starts.
Suited to
- Contract wins
- Premises and build-out
- Hiring ahead of revenue
Outside the line
- Speculative start-ups with no trade
- Share buybacks
Questions we are asked
Can the loan be partly interest-only?
Up to six months on larger tickets, where the revenue that repays it is dated.
