Case Study #2
CHALLENGE:
Following a highly contested divorce with substantial legal fees, an ultra-high-net-worth client wanted to refinance both a primary residence and a second home. The serial entreprenuer and real estate investment professional had significant holding and requested $6 million of credit whose tax record did not yet fully illustrate these assets.
Despite a net worth of $40 million, the client’s assets were complicated and not easily interpreted in a traditional lending environment. For example, at a time when the client paid one-time legal expenses for a divorce settlement – regardless of litigation falling in the client’s favor – other complexities included:
- The client’s personal tax returns failed to reflect enough taxable income needed to service the debt;
- As CEO of start-up, the client couldn’t establish income beyond one year; and
- The borrower’s assets included the acquisition of two commercial portfolios within the last 18 months.
SOLUTION:
Due to our special and long-term relationship with a private bank, the One Million Dollar Plus advisory team was able to assemble a confidential, detailed summary that included proforma forecasts of the client’s startup venture.
This effort provided the detailed financial data needed to predict future cash flow and valuations.
The result: the lender’s risk concerns were assuaged. In its analysis, the bank determined that the client’s current personal cash flow would be acceptable in to service the debt.
We're happy to help ...
