Overview

SLP Capital is raising $150 million ($45 million equity;$105 million debt) to provide high-yield short-term CRE-backed loans to small and mid-sized borrowers.

Private lending demand is growing as bank lending standards tighten, creating a significant market opportunity

SLP Capital leverages a vertically integrated model, reducing costs and improving borrower outcomes

Key Differentiator – Management has over 75,000 closed escrows and 30+ years of experience in loan origination

Opportunity

  • Traditional lenders have become more restrictive, leaving developers unable to secure financing for time-sensitive projects

 

  • Bank regulations make it difficult for small commercial developers to obtain short-term capital

 

  • Growing demand for asset-based loans in the commercial real estate market

Solution & Strategy

Competitive Loan Offerings/Speed

Risk will be managed through diversification, low LTVs, due diligence, and ongoing monitoring

Strategic Industry Partnerships

Partners are industry leaders in lending compliance, financial audits, fund management, loan servicing, and legal matters

Vertical Integration/Cost Efficiency

SLP Capital is vertically integrated with all ancillary licensed services in-house, providing maximum control and lower costs

Specific Risks

  • Market risk may impact loan performance and collateral values, managed through conservative LTV ratios and diversification

 

  • Collateral value may fluctuate due to economic conditions or factors beyond management’s control

 

  • Credit risk from borrower defaults could lead to losses

 

  • Interest rate risk – fluctuations may impact lending profitability; rising rates may reduce the value of fixed-rate loans

 

  • Credit risk from borrower defaults is managed through thorough underwriting and proactive loan monitoring

 

  • Liquidity risk is managed by maintaining a buffer and using short loan durations to handle repayment delays

 

  • Regulatory risk is managed by staying informed and compliant with all relevant laws

 

  • Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and carry a high degree of risk – including the loss of the entire investment
