A Convincing Business Plan • Significant opportunities in Russia • American financial community ready to listen • Persuade institutions that your project will generate profits at acceptable risk • Back up your claims with meticulous financial documentation
Catch the banker’s Attention—Secure a personal introduction, if needed • Open the banker’s door—Arouse the banker’s Interest • Get to the negotiating table—Cultivate the banker’s desire to fund you • Access the vault—Negotiate successfully so that the banker takes Action on your request
Call upon your personal and business relationships with bankers • Enlist a qualified intermediary to vouch for you and your project
Present your Executive Summary • Money invested to date • Amount of money sought • Expected duration of the investment • Return on investment • Basic development facts • Facts to support your belief that your development will succeed
GET TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE: CULTIVATE THE BANKER’S DESIRE TO FUND YOU
Present your Business Plan • Executive summary • Nature of project—location, construction type (hotel, apartment, home, etc., ownership type or mixed use), • Nearby attractions, preferably year-round • Ownership or control of land
Present your Business Plan Continued… • Permit status • Amenities to be developed • Scope of project--number and type of units, size of units • Findings of feasibility study • Financial information
Present your Business Plan Continued… • Project cost • Estimated sellout time • Estimated revenue and timing • Projections and projected profit • Best-, base- and worst-case scenarios • Assumptions on which projections are made
Present your Business Plan Continued… • Members of development team—position, background and track record • Marketing and sales plan and monitoring procedures • Illustrative material—maps, site plan, drawings, renderings, elevations, floor plans, feasibility studies, etc.
Some Important Items to Know Before Starting Negotiations • Size of financial proposal institutional sources are willing to consider • Minimum: US$25 million • Projected return on development equity desired • Minimum: 25% • Profit splits and “waterfall” of distributions—Sequencing of distributions to the capital source and to the developer
Two ways to structure waterfall of distributions : • 100% to financing institution until capital is repaid • Ratio of the institution’s investment to developer’s investment • Timing expectations: • Return of capital: 2-3 years from funding date • Return on capital: 3-5 years thereafter
Additional Considerations for Russian Projects • Russian market niche • Degree of state/local governmental support • Market opportunities afforded by 2014 Winter Olympics
Case Studies • Big Fundraising • Boutique Fundraising • Challenging Fundraising • Foreign Fundraising
The Bottom Line Successful financing requires: • Understanding how the individual banker will view your project • Gaining the banker’s personal confidence • Experience with the financial community • Meticulous documentation of the essential information relating to your project
