Financing for retail gas stations across the country

[Jeffrey Jones]

Are there any lenders that will fund a gas station in any of the fifty states without an SBA guaranty? The problem with the SBA guaranty is that it takes a long time, is expensive with the fee, and is limited by the cap of $5 million. Thus many deals that are good solid cash flowing deals at reasonable LTV's cannot get financing. I have deals and nowhere to place them. Can anyone suggest a lender?

I know that many lenders took a beating on these as the appraisals got way out of whack with reality and some states had too many stations so the all competed against themselves and everybody lost. There has been a large reduction in the number of stations especially in certain states. So it appears to me that this is an underserved market at this time. Anyone that can fund these deals can make a very good return as there is little competition.

 We offer a quick, transparent and professional experience along with the most efficient service to fund your project.  We provide 100% of borrower’s capital request in the form of debt, equity or a combination and allow all documented expense paid by the borrower to be stacked on top of the funds requested.  We can offer a moratorium on payments until the project is stabilized and cash flowing if the timeline to stabilization is reasonable.  (Determined on a case-by-case basis)

 To start we need a mutual NDA completed, executed and returned by all parties to the project.  Additionally, once we know the sector of the funding request i.e. Energy, Technology, Mining, Real Estate or Business - (lines of credit, working capital, contract financing, purchase order financing, factoring, etc.) sectors.  We will provide a questionnaire that must be answered in detail and returned to access risk factors and determine our interest.   We are fully transparent and provide all the information for you to make an intelligent decision on doing business with us.  If the project has merit with strong principal, a very good plan, capital to support the project until funding we can get you through our in-house underwriting to funding.  We offer bank rate or better pricing not hard money.  Our rates are  based on the following indexes: Libor, Bond rate, 10-year Treasury or Prime depending on the project with terms of 3, 5, 7, 10 , 15 or 20 years.  Minimum loan amount is $1M US with no maximums on asset based lending. 

 Required Documentation: (for submission)

The following documents will be necessary to successfully underwrite and fund your project:

 (The following remark is not intended to offend but stated because of so many request from those who believe that all cost can be paid from closing proceeds):

 “If there are no funds available to cover project cost and principals expects the lender to pay the necessary cost to determine if the project is lendable, close and fund the project and get their expenses from the loan proceeds then no one I know of can help you.”   I have 28 years experience in this industry and have never seen that happen with lenders in the US, Western Europe or anywhere else.

Jeffry, 

I sent you an email couple of days ago regarding your financing of gas stations.. Not sure if you received it or you already have your financing done.. would you let me know.. My firm lends on gas stations especially if the real estate is included in the sale..

Email me at: [e-mail]

[Jeffrey Jones]

Hi Roger:

I apologize for not getting back with you earlier. Its the time of year and I have ten deals that I am working on to close either this month or next month. I have responded to some of the people but some are what I am seeking and some are not. Everyone has their own parameters and some fit for some of my deals and some don't. So I would be very interested in speaking with you about your programs. I always have the real estate as frankly the major value part of the deal. Most of my deals are refi's to pay off jobbers or to acquire notes from lenders etc. I may have a few purchases but that is not the majority of the business. I have very strong jobbers that I do business with and we need more lenders we can count on. Please let me know and email me at [e-mail]. Thanks. All the best.   Jeff

[Jeffrey Jones]

Hi Roger:

I've replied to your emails three times and they seem to be bouncing back to me. Or at least, I have had no response from you. Please email me your phone number as I have several deals for you. Thank you.
