15. The Equities First Holdings process is incredibly transparent and straightforward. We have a streamlined due diligence process that enables us to appropriately evaluate a client’s collateral
and efficiently deliver funding. Unlike other financing vehicles, there is no unnecessary red tape to cut through or arbitrary processing to endure. Our clients enjoy the confidence of a
partner with more than a decade of alternative lending experience, and from first contact to final funding – the entire process can be completed in as few as 7 business
days.
1 CONTACT US The first step in the EFH transaction process is to contact us with details regarding your proposed collateral and the amount of funding you require.
2 VALUATION PROCESS Once it is determined an EFH solution is right for you, we will determine the loan terms and calculate a loan-to-value ratio and a fixed interest rate.
3 AGREEMENT & TRANSFER If all terms are agreeable, sign the EFH agreement and transfer the agreed upon collateral to an EFH custodian account.
4
FUNDING EFH funds transactions using a delivery-versus-payment method, which means collateral and loan proceeds are transferred into holding accounts
simultaneously. EFH funds all transactions via our own capital – we never sell a clients collateral to fund the transaction.
5 COLLATERAL RETURN Throughout the lifecycle of the financing term, interest-only payments are made. At the conclusion of the financing period, the respective
collateral is returned in full, upon repayment of the principal funding.
