Rainmaker
Marketing Corporation's
business
plan consultants are  specialists who focus on preparing capital
funding plan proposals and the supporting due
diligence documents. This sets our firm apart from other
business plan consultants who hope that you will buy a template plan
that is a "jack-of-all-trades" approach to a specific
project. These types of business plans rarely serve their intended
purpose.
The capital funding cycle for development-stage
companies and/or commercial real estate development projects (pre-construction
phase project financing and construction
phase project financing for mixed-use,
senior housing, multifamily,
etc.) require a specific plan that addresses all
of the specific funding cycle issues and is supported by the due
diligence reports the sponsor (or developer, as the case may be) has
created to support the business funding case. In the process of
creating these proposals, Rainmaker Marketing Corporation focuses on the
following issues:
 |
The purposes of the proposal. If the
proposal is to be used for obtaining capital funding, then a
structured finance review of all local/state/federal investment
incentive entitlements should be done before the funding proposal's
structure is decided upon by the developer (or sponsor, as the case
may be). Rainmaker Marketing Corporation routinely conducts
entitlement reviews for these incentives and you definitely want to
acquire every entitlement the business or project is entitled to
receive because, in many cases, the resulting entitlements can be
used as equity replacement financing, thus they have the potential
to dramatically increase the sponsor's (or developer's) financial
investment leverage.
|
|
If the purpose of the proposal is to create an
operations program, then focus must be achieved down to the employee
class level as far as tasking and reporting is concerned. This
requires a plan that has a high degree of detail. For
commercial real estate development projects, the operating program
document can easily exceed 150 pages in many cases. Rainmaker
is capable of generating the level of detail you are looking for in
your operating plan.

What
Goes Into An Underwriting?
The Rainmaker approach is truly
a comprehensive assessment with 66 exhibits collected on every project
that cover every aspect of the development, construction, operations and
regulatory matters. Collateral, credit and capacity underwriting reviews
are conducted using CREFC underwriting standards in addition to a
complete default risk analysis on term, maturity and technical default
risk profiles. Our typical underwriting report on a new
construction project will easily exceed 500 pages and catalogue all
transaction documents, plans and specifications. |
