  3. Financing Basics for Economic Development Session Overview: • What is your ED Financing Environment? • Screen the Deal and Analyze the Deal • Financing Resources and Programs • Issues to Consider • Where to Get More Information • Handouts/Appendix A B C

  4. Understanding Your ED Environment • Need to understand all aspects of the project in order to tailor the proposed assistance • Each project will have its individual and unique needs. • Need a full toolbox, not just financing tools or incentives, to meet the needs of all projects.

  5. Understanding Your ED Environment • Most projects do not need financial assistance, but can use other assistance • Financing is only part of the equation • There is a tendency to throw money at projects without really understanding the project and its true needs.

  6. Business Financial Analysis I. The Process II. Terms and Concepts III. Tips for Doing the Deal

  7. The Process • The analysis depends on the need • Look at the business and the project • Examine the past, present and future financial information • The information tells a story about the business’ financial picture, operating cycle, trends, and ability to handle downturns • Reformat financial information • Determine key ratios, compare with industry averages and past performance • Analyze projections for reasonableness • Match funding to the “gap” • Cost of capital • Availability of capital

  8. Types of Business Loans • Short-term loans – working capital, inventory, accounts receivable. • Medium-term loans – equipment, machinery, leasehold improvements. • Long-term loans – building, acquisition, renovation, construction, land acquisition.

  9. Screen the Deal • Have the owner tell you their “story” • What is the business trying to finance? • Who does the business bank with? • Has the business applied for a loan with its bank? • If declined, why? • Is the business profitable? • Does the business owner have cash to put into the deal? • Do they have collateral to secure the loan? • Is there a business plan and financial information?

  10. SOURCES AND USES FORM Snapshot of the Proposed Project

  11. Analyze the Deal • “Spread” the Financial Statements: Horizontal and vertical analysis • Ratio Analysis - Key ratios • Current: current assets/current liabilities • Quick: cash + cash equivalents + accounts receivable/current liabilities • Debt-to-worth: total liabilities/net worth • Review projections and assumptions to business plan, historical data and industry data (make sure jobs are there) • Projections should be done with and without public assistance • Compare to industry averages (Robert Morris Associates - RMA) • Analyze business operating cycle • Cash – Inventory – Sales – Accounts Receivable – Cash --Automobiles – long cycle --Food Service – short cycle • Use tax returns to verify information

  12. Analyze the Deal The C’s of Credit When the analysis is done, you should be able to summarize the proposal: Character business history, credit reports, personal interviews Credit credit history, business history Capacity analysis of financial statements, equity, secondary sources of repayment Capital equity, working capital) - Remember “Cash is King” Collateral appraisal, net worth Cash Flow balance sheet, projected income statement, personal financial statements Conditions market study, business plan, economic conditions Commitment business plan, equity committed

  13. II Terms and Concepts What Are Financial Statements? • Income Statement • Balance Sheet • Statement of Cash Flows

  14. The Income Statement: How Did We Do? (AKA…..Profit and Loss Statement; P& L) Sales -Cost of Goods Sold (raw materials, labor, manufacturing) Gross Profit -Other Expenses -SG&A (rent, advertising, admin. overhead, officer salaries Net Income from Operations +Other Income -Income Tax Net Income

  15. The Income Statement: How Did We Do? Sample Income Statement Revenue: Sales $18,000 Investment Income 2,000 Total Revenue $20,000 Expenses: Wages, Sal/Benefits $3,000 Merch & Supplies 12,000 Depreciation 400 Property 300 Income Tax 1,000 Interest Expense 300 Total Expenses <$17,000> Net Income $3,000

  16. Balance Sheet: Snapshot in TimeAssets = Liabilities + Equity Sample Balance Sheet AssetsLiabilities Current AssetsCurrent Liabilities Cash 400 Accts Payable $300 Accts Rec. 200 Total Current Assets $600 Long Term Liabilities Loan Payable 200 Total Liabilities $500 Fixed AssetsOwners Equity $1,500 Land $1,000 Bldg. 500 Equip. 900 $2,400 Total Assets $3,000Total Liab. & Equity. $3,000

  17. Key Ratios to Remember Current Ratio • Current Ratio:CA: Current Assets • CL: Current Liabilities • Measures liquidity • Should be greater than 1:1, preferably 1:5 or 2:1 depending on industry • Quick Ratio:Cash + Accounts Receivable • Current Liabilities • Measures relationship of short term debt to very liquid (cash) assets

  18. Key Ratios to Remember Working Capital Current AssetsCA Current Liab. - CL Working Capital WC

  19. Key Ratios to Remember Debt:Equity • Total Liabilities • Equity • Relationship of investment of owners to investment of lenders • 2:1 • High: little investment by owners • Low: May not be a good use of debt • Strike a balance

  20. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FINANCING RESOURCES

  21. When you have nothing but an idea and ambition: • Limited funding options • Personal Savings: crack open the piggy bank, max out credit cards, get a second mortgage on the house • Beg & Borrow: call rich friends/relatives;offer a stake in return for an investment;be clear about risks • Loans: tough sell; personal assets as collateral; have to make payments NOW • Angel Investors: $ and expertise; where do you find them?? • SBA: guidance, not loans

  22. Once you have a product, you have more options: • Traditional Lenders and Programs

  32. Industrial Development Bonds • Tax-exempt financing (up to $10 million) for manufacturing. • Uses include acquisition of land, building, and new equipment. • Tax-exempt bond results in borrowing costs 20-30% below comparable bank rates. • Obligation to repay is solely that of the borrower - not the Issuer or the jurisdiction
