In today’s commercial financing atmosphere, more and more funding sources are requiring that any project that they finance be Green or Humanitarian in nature. It doesn’t matter if the project is located in the United States or in another country, it must meet one of these two guidelines and in some cases both. 

We are asked quite often, “What do we need to do to make our project qualify”? 

To answer this question are a few ideas which we have seen previous projects utilize in order to be considered a “Green” project. 

  • Using an open-plan office space that is extensively illuminated using sunlight. This is done by having the electric lighting automatically dimmed or shut off when daylight is sufficient.
  • Using appliances or equipment which is “Energy Star” rated.
  • Allow the office windows to be opened to allow for natural ventilation and have live plants through the office space.
  • During construction only allow the builders to use adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, carpeting and furniture that have low chemical emissions.
  • Utilize older “used” furniture to furnish the office. You may even have some of these items refurbished.
  • Build the office with movable interior walls to accommodate the future needs of expanding work areas. This will prevent the need to teardown and rebuild new walls.
  • In the restrooms use water free urinals, low-flow faucets or micro-hydro-powered electric-eye faucets. Use blow dryers instead of paper towels to dry hands.
  • Where Natural Light is not possible, use low-voltage lighting
  • Build the parking area underground below the offices to cut back on the “urban areas heat-island effect”.
  • The exclusive use of “green” cleaning products.
  • Plant shad producing trees in close proximity to the building to create shade.
  • Have the planting around the building be local foliage which is conducive t the local environment and does not require excess watering.
  • Use building materials and office furniture & supplies that are readily available in the geographical area, within 500 miles.
  • Install Solar heated Water Heaters
  • Recycle the water for irrigation purposes
  • Use building materials which qualify as “Green”. One example would be the products produced by “Composite Building Structures, Ltd.”. These can be found at http://www.cbs-homes.com/
  • Use recycled building materials for the new structure.
  • For Hotels … They have a system which utilized the “room card” for each room. When a customer checks in they are issued their “key”, the room card. When they enter their room they take the card out of the door and insert it into a devise on the wall (much like they did in the door). As long as they are in the hotel room and the card is in the devise then all the electrical outlets and lights work. Once they leave their room, they remove the card and everything turns off except for one outlet. This one “live” outlet is used to recharge their cell phone or power their computer. The hotels which have utilized this system are seeing a 26% decrease in electrical usage for the whole complex. 

These are just a few items which individually may not make a lot of a difference but when used in combination can save a lot of electricity and qualify a building as being “green”. Plus you are helping nature and preserving yours and other people’s health.

Eco Friendly Development Financing ~ 100% LTC

Eco friendly financing is become more popular as funding sources start to take an environment stance to their project financing programs. Some Global funding sources are now ONLY entertaining projects which are environmentally friendly. 

Some ideas of these types of projects are Wind Farms, Hydro Electric Power, Tidal Power, Solar Power and other creative forms for generating a reusable energy source. In the past few months we have seen a drastic increase in funding request for such projects. The two most popular requests have been for financing Wind Farms and Solar Energy. Both of these provide an endless source of energy and they do not put off any harmful chemicals as a by product. 

The wind farms are very popular for the central area of the United States from Texas up to the Canadian border. It is also becoming very popular in Central America and the Caribbean. Wind farms typically take a very large tract of land to set up the turbines, but the benefits are huge. 

Also popular is Solar Energy. These are being requested for all over the earth, especially in areas that experience long concentrations of sunlight. These too also require a large track of land for supporting all the solar panels. 

International Financing Solutions has an excellent funding source for financing these projects. We can finance these at 100% LTC which includes the land acquisition, purchase of the materials and construction of the final products. The interest rates are extremely low because it is a "Green" project and the rest of the terms make the financing program phenomenal. 

Do you have a development project in the works that would fit this program or be considered a "Green" project? If so, please contact us to review your file. The initial documents which we need are: 

  • A Detailed Business Plan
  • A Detailed 10 Year Pro-Forma 

Once we have the above documents, we can review your file and if it qualifies, we will submit to the funding source for their review. Although this article emphasizes various energy generating projects, this funding source will entertain ANY project that is "Green" in nature or "Humanitarian". 

We can be contacted via e-mail at sallen11867@aol.com or via phone at 239-898-9281 to answer any questions or concerns. In addition to this funding source we also have other sources for financing just about any type of Development Project in the United States or anywhere else in the World.

Humanitarian Development Financing

Humanitarian and Green concerns are becoming more and more of an issue when it comes to financing large commercial developments. We are seeing more funding sources requiring that the projects which they finance MUST have a substantial amount of "Green" component to it or that it be "Humanitarian" in nature. 

A prime example of this is a preferred funding source of ours will ONLY entertain projects that meet these guidelines. This is even happening when it comes to financing large Residential Development Projects. 

Developers who are looking to build hundreds or thousands of homes MUST build these homes out of material which qualifies as an environmentally favorable building material. 

A prime example of such a material is being developed by Composite Building Structures Ltd. (CBS). (To learn more about this company visit their website: http://www.cbs-homes.com/ ). The building material used by CBS can withstand winds up to 350 mph, it impervious to mold , will not rot, is not effected by termites, has an extremely high insulation rating, is water proof, and is a less expensive building material than what is currently used to build homes. The CBS constructed home can also be built in a couple days as compared to a few weeks for wood framing or concrete block. 

When combining the building material supplied by CBS in conjunction with our Humanitarian Funding Source, a developer has an increased chance of seeing his loan making it to a funding than if they shopped it anywhere else. Along huge benefit is that this Lender and CBS can be utilized for projects anywhere in the World. 

Is your organization looking to develop a large residential project? Is this project in the United States or located abroad? It doesn't matter; we can finance it in any country on the Globe (except for Iran, Cuba, & North Korea). 

Our Funding source will finance 100% of the project from land acquisition to vertical development and they base the qualification for the loan on the strength of the project and the development team. 

If you would like for us to review your project for financing, please send along the following: 

  • A detailed Business Plan
  • A detailed 10 year Pro-forma 

If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to sallen11867@aol.com or give us a call at 239-898-9281. We are always available to take your call.
