FINANCING ADVANTAGES…

UNDERSTANDING WHAT TO EXPECT

At Providence Financial, we provide both financial consulting and brokering services.

What is the difference between financial consulting and brokering?


Brokering: A broker searches for and identifies lenders that will likely be a good fit for a given project and presents to them the necessary information on the prospective borrowing entity, the collateral, etc. A broker should at least know the general types of lenders that would have an interest in a project and, in many cases, will know of specific institutions most likely to finance the project. The broker should know how to present the information on the prospective borrower in a manner that will provide the best opportunity to get a favorable result. A good broker will do all he/she can to meet the needs of the borrower while protecting the interests of the lender. The broker assists in the documentation and closing of the deal as needed. Once the loan is closed, the broker is paid either by the lender or the borrower and his job is completed.

Financial Consulting: A consultant takes the above process a few steps further, depending on the needs of the client. The consultant is an advisor, a strategist, and an advocate for the client. He/she will help the client decide what type of funding or combination of funding vehicles will be most advantageous for the client. A consultant will assist in preparing a financial package and getting it ready for a prospective lender to review. The consultant remains available to advise the client throughout the process of


securing accounting/audit services, appraisals, architects, engineers, or any other professionals who are needed to complete a project because they may affect the funding parameters.

People use financial brokers and/or consultants for two main reasons. First, those who lack the financial expertise to accomplish their funding objectives use a broker/consultant to assist them. Second, many people who possess the expertise to do it themselves, use financial brokers and/or consultants because they are so immersed in other pressing concerns that they need temporary help on specific projects. Further, a consultant has dealt with so many different financial institutions by using his experience, a client may save far more money in rates, terms and fees on a project than it costs in broker/consulting fees.

At Providence Financial, our fees are based on our assessment of the complexity of the task and how much time we think it will take to accomplish a positive result. Generally, our fees may be included in the loan amount and are paid at closing. Expenses and certain other costs may be charged separately.
