Equity Financing

RKM Capital has a comprehensive database of mezzanine programs and equity capital providers nationwide. Our database organizes available capital by providers’ preferred property type, geography, leverage level, term, security requirements and other differentiating factors.

Our wide ranging knowledge of each provider’s program enables RKM Capital to negotiate the best economic terms available for the most success of the project. Equity can be structured in a variety of formats. Normally a preferred return of varying rates is applied based on the risk level of the transaction. After capital is returned, profit splits are based on different payback scenarios.
Most typical is a waterfall scenario where the investor gets back a higher percentage of profits until a desired internal rate of return is achieved, then the ratios flip-flop in favor of the developer.

Most investors have flexibility in structuring transactions and equate an overall IRR with the risk level of the transaction. Overall leverage can be as high as 100% of total financing. Clients frequently need a joint venture equity partner in order to meet their required capital needs.

Also integral to the structured finance approach is, that we use our extensive database to assist our clients to meet their financing goals. Our clients realize the significant added value when our firm advises on all components of a project’s capital structure.
