Before committing capital, a lender needs a credible answer to one question:
How will they get their money back?
In Episode 2 of Capital Routes: The Jersey Series, Brave Corp CEO, Caleb Parker, sits down with with Neil Spacie, Managing Director of Hawk, in Jersey to explore the questions he would ask before backing an operational real estate project.
Drawing on his lending experience and Hawk’s family office connections, Neil discusses the credibility of the team, the strength of the equity partners and the resilience of the businesses generating income within a building.
Topics Discussed
How lenders assess experienced teams behind new businesses with limited corporate track records.
What happens when several income streams within a mixed-use asset fall at the same time.
Whether equity partners can support a project if performance falls short.
Why a short-term lender needs to understand who could provide the next stage of funding.
Whether an asset retains its value when the original management team steps away.
They also explore Neil’s view that uncertainty can create an opening for specialist capital, and what would need to be demonstrated before mainstream lenders become comfortable with the model.
