New construction loans are currently available for franchisor and/or municipality. These loans are generally short term (3-5 years) with the first two years interest only. After the term expires, owners typically refinance and obtain traditional financing at a lower rate and 25 year amortization.
Capex Financing
Edward Voccola & Co. LLC is able to thoroughly structure a capex loan to meet the franchise’s specific needs and the requirements of their senior mortgage through several loan and lease options.
Capex financing can provide up to 20% of the total project costs for a new construction project. This allows the developer to more easily secure construction financing as this lowers the overall risk to a potential construction lender.
We provide Capex/FF&E financing for:
- Hotel Renovations
- Property Improvement Plans (‘PIPs’)
- Brand Conversions
- Furniture, Fixture, and Equipment (FF&E) carve out for new construction
These loans typically range from $200,000 to $10 million and are amortized over the useful life of the improvements (usually 3-10 years). We can close a loan in two days.
