How and Why we Find Lending Partners

What we do here at GRP Capital is find appropriate lending partners for our clients. But what does that mean? Why does it matter? And why would lending partners even want to work with us?

We’re glad you asked. Here’s what you need to know!

What our Lending Partners Want

  • First, lenders want to make loans in the right “buckets”. Sometimes these are for certain industries, sometimes they are in a certain geographic area. And sometimes, the desirable loans are for a certain size or a specific structure.
  • Lenders prefer to receive documents that meet their standards, are correct and demonstrate the true nature of the borrowers.
  • Lenders want to find qualified borrowers, who can pay back their loans through managing and owning profitable business ventures.

How GRP Capital and Lenders Work Together

  • Probably most importantly, our lenders know that GRP Capital analyzes all of our potential clients before we begin to search for matching lenders. This analysis saves time for our lenders as they trust our ability to determine the strengths and issues that all of our potential loans have.
  • Lenders do not have time to waste. They know that GRP Capital will not bring them loans that are not in their wheelhouse.
  • Finally, lenders are desirous of a smooth path through underwriting and closing. This is where we really do some of our finest work.

How our clients benefit:

  • Because we start off looking for appropriate lenders, we can save our clients time and money as well as finding the loan that is structured for their needs. Each loan is unique. We do not have a cookie cutter approach.
  • Our clients may take on occasional loans. But our highly experienced loan processing team has seen it all. We know exactly the expected quality and content of all of the documents that our lending partners request.
  • Our loan processing team works directly with the bank, the title company, the attorneys, the insurance agents, the accountants. We work hard so our clients can run their businesses. Our clients prefer this setup, and our clients’ comfort is preeminent.

What lenders say about us:

“I wish all our clients were GRP Capital clients.”

“You guys rock!”

“They are great to work with and very responsive.”

Combining Hurricane Repair and Renovation

Hurricane Ian was a big storm, causing major damage. Consequently, many business owners are working on their hurricane repair plans.

Sometimes storms come with a silver lining. This could be one of those times.

If you have a property that is in need of hurricane repairs, consider upgrading your property at the same time. You can undertake more extensive renovations, even deferred maintenance.

Actually, doing additional renovations during repairs can be very cost-effective. Your demolition costs may be lower. Your timeframe may be ideal, too. Essentially, you are combining your insurance compensation with other financing. GRP Capital can help secure financing through a new loan or a refinanced or restructured existing loan.

Preparing for Your Hurricane Repair and Renovations

  • First, determine what needs to be repaired. It’s critical to obtain multiple quotations.
  • Find out the procedures for paying for repairs. Some insurance companies have preferred providers. They may have their own forms and secure links for invoices.
  • If your repairs are extensive, you may want to hire an attorney who specializes in real estate, insurance and contracts. Critically, this attorney will work directly with the insurance adjuster.
  • Now make a list of what items you would renovate if money were no object. Choose from projects that would enhance your property or increase its value. Consider franchise renovation packages if applicable.
  • Then rank your list of projects.
  • Next, talk with trusted construction and renovation professionals. Certainly, discuss both the critical hurricane repairs and your wishlist.
  • Finally, determine how much you would save by combining projects.

Contact GRP Capital while you are gathering your data. Be sure to let us know about your repairs and your wishlist. Truthfully not all lenders show interest in every kind of loan. Fortunately, we know which lenders in our lender network are financing these combination project loans. This knowledge can save you time and money.
