Capital Loan Program
Purpose:
The Capital Loan Program provides loans at a below market rate for qualified not-for-profit healthcare and education institutions for the purchase of capital equipment or for refinancing of existing debt.
The Authority has developed a simple application process and standardized documents which limits expenses and the time needed to complete a financing.
The Authority will co-lend a part of the loan at a 30% level, subject to the board's discretion.
Loan Term:
The term of a loan will be five years with a longer amortization schedule if needed.
Loan Amount (for the Authority's portion):
$50,000 minimum and $450,000 maximum.
Who Can Borrow?:
Any institution that is qualified to borrow from the Authority under RSA 195-D or 195-E is eligible to be a borrower under this Program.
Rate:
The Authority’s rate will be one-half of the bank rate or a minimum of 2.25%..
Security:
Typically, the Authority will have a parity position in the same security as the lender with no additional security or covenants required.
Fees/Expenses:
There may be out-of-pocket expenses such as surveys, appraisals, filing fees, etc. charged to the institution. Legal fees (other than any institution’s counsel fees) will generally not exceed $3,000.
There are no fees charged by the Authority.
