Structured Finance Consulting Services - Equity & Debt Security Offerings

Most structured finance consultants focus on Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) offerings because of the insane amounts of capital being thrown at CDOs in the recent past (prior to the sub-prime loan debacle) by hedge funds and other large institutional investors. Rainmaker's structured finance consultants are focused on the needs of the developer and/or owner/operator of commercial real estate development projects because this area of endeavor, while not being considered a particularly stellar performer in terms of fees (when compared to CDOs) is a growing practice area for Rainmaker because of the explosive growth of entitlement investment incentives being created at the local, state and federal levels.  Rainmaker's structured finance consultants do not limit the capital funding proposal to just an equity contributions line item and construction loan line item unless the client directs us to do so.  The structured finance approach frequently results in multiple layers of financing being applied to the proposed project's capital finance structure; these layers can include (in at least some cases) pre-construction phase financing for your project.  Heretofore, developers have routinely assumed that the capital financing for the pre-construction phase would be the developer's sole responsibility.

That has clearly changed.  The emerging structured finance approach seeks to securitize and transform the investment incentive entitlements into annuity contracts.  The more certain the annuity is of paying off, the more likely it will be that a given entitlement incentive can be adopted to the pre-construction phase capital funding structure, reducing (or replacing) the contributions required of the developer at that stage, thus dramatically increasing the potential financial investment leverage the transaction can realistically sustain.  Rainmaker is there to help you understand each component and the alternatives each component may in fact create as a result of institutional capital market preferences.  You can do this and you can't afford not to have Rainmaker help you create your own vision.
