Crestmark Capital is an accounts receivable financing company with its operations headquartered in Louisiana. It specializes in working with bankers to assist them with lines of credit for their commercial borrowers, when the bank cannot extend, renew or increase a line of credit for a new applicant or for an existing borrower. (Oftentimes, the bank benefits by removing a classified loan from its portfolio.) Through an extensive process of evaluating and enhancing invoice documentation and establishing credit limits for a client’s customers, Crestmark Capital is able to approve an asset-based of credit, when the borrower’s financials do not justify a bank line of credit. Until such time as the borrower’s financials improve, the bank has maintained the deposit and other relationships. Crestmark Capital also provides overlines; whereby, the bank keeps its existing line of credit and Crestmark Capital takes the overage. Or, if the bank wishes, Crestmark Capital can take the whole line and offer a participation back to the bank.

In the current economic environment, financial institutions are carefully analyzing the current and future total cost of ownership of their technology assets, and evaluating the outsourcing alternative. With a widespread lack of capital for costly upfront investments, renting ATM hardware and associated services becomes an attractive, and in some cases the only feasible, option to struggling banks. Payment Alliance International, the nation's largest ATM network, has stepped up to meet that need. With over 43,000 ATMs nationwide placed in high profile, high traffic areas, PAI can provide financial institutions with a cost effective method of expanding their brand and ATM network and generating positive customer relations for just dollars per day. Financial Institutions can place their brand on one or more of PAI's ATMs for just dollars per day. To their customers, the ATMs will look and operate like the bank owned ATMs. The only difference is there will be no major outlay of capital by the FI.

Cost Segregation Services, Inc., is the premier company providing engineering-based cost segregation studies for banks and commercial property owners n the U.S. Cost segregation is an IRS-approved tax application by which banks and commercial businesses can accelerate the depreciation deductions on their facilities and reduce the amount of taxes owed. The engineering-based study performed by CSSI reclassifies building/renovation components into faster depreciation categories such as 5-, 7- and 15-year rather than the conventional 27.5 and 39-year schedules. A bank or commercial property owner can achieve additional cash flow from tax savings of 7%-10% of building cost within the first five years of ownership. That's $70K-$100K for each $1 million in building costs! CSSI has successfully completed over 5,000 studies on a wide range of property types (fee simple and leaseholds) valued from $200,000 to $450 million in all 50 states. Cost segregation is applicable not only when you build or acquire a new facility but also when you previously have acquired or improved a structure and have the proper engineering report to justify cost segregation. Contact us to find out how your institution and its commercial customers put buildings and renovations to work to achieve increased cash flow, ROA, loan quality and deposits.

The Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation (SHCPF) is a national non-profit organization that serves as a risk-free, profitable conduit for banks to use to fulfill their federally mandated Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requirements. The Foundation’s mission is to provide safe and secure living environments for our nation’s senior housing residents through the operation of the nationally-acclaimed Senior Crimestoppers program in each participating bank’s CRA assessment area. Participating banks enjoy positive public relations exposure in their communities, gain access to a proven profitable business development opportunity, and earn CRA credit - all without taking risk or adding an administrative burden. Crime against the elderly in our society is a longstanding, constant battle that can be reduced and prevented through the operation of the Senior Crimestoppers program in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Senior Crimestoppers is a coordinated set of components that work together to create a zero tolerance-to-crime platform in senior housing facilities. Components include personal lockboxes for the residents, cash rewards up to $1,000 paid anonymously for information about wrongdoing of any kind, and effective, on-going education and training for staff members and residents. Senior Crimestoppers is in operation in more than 4,000 nursing home facilities in 45 states, and has reduced all aspects of crime in participating facilities by a certified 92.76% through December 31, 2009. For more information, contact Peter Gwaltney at (877) 232-0859, or email him at Peter.Gwaltney@SHCPFoundation.org.

Crestmark Capital is an accounts receivable financing company with its operations headquartered in Louisiana. It specializes in working with bankers to assist them with lines of credit for their commercial borrowers, when the bank cannot extend, renew or increase a line of credit for a new applicant or for an existing borrower. (Oftentimes, the bank benefits by removing a classified loan from its portfolio.) Through an extensive process of evaluating and enhancing invoice documentation and establishing credit limits for a client’s customers, Crestmark Capital is able to approve an asset-based of credit, when the borrower’s financials do not justify a bank line of credit. Until such time as the borrower’s financials improve, the bank has maintained the deposit and other relationships. Crestmark Capital also provides overlines; whereby, the bank keeps its existing line of credit and Crestmark Capital takes the overage. Or, if the bank wishes, Crestmark Capital can take the whole line and offer a participation back to the bank.

Cost Segregation Services, Inc., is the premier company providing engineering-based cost segregation studies for banks and commercial property owners n the U.S. Cost segregation is an IRS-approved tax application by which banks and commercial businesses can accelerate the depreciation deductions on their facilities and reduce the amount of taxes owed. The engineering-based study performed by CSSI reclassifies building/renovation components into faster depreciation categories such as 5-, 7- and 15-year rather than the conventional 27.5 and 39-year schedules. A bank or commercial property owner can achieve additional cash flow from tax savings of 7%-10% of building cost within the first five years of ownership. That's $70K-$100K for each $1 million in building costs! CSSI has successfully completed over 5,000 studies on a wide range of property types (fee simple and leaseholds) valued from $200,000 to $450 million in all 50 states. Cost segregation is applicable not only when you build or acquire a new facility but also when you previously have acquired or improved a structure and have the proper engineering report to justify cost segregation. Contact us to find out how your institution and its commercial customers put buildings and renovations to work to achieve increased cash flow, ROA, loan quality and deposits.

Louisiana Capital Certified Development is a private/non-profit corporation which markets and facilitates the SBA 504 loan program. We are most commonly referred to as a “CDC”. There are approximately 275 CDCs located in various parts of the country. We are the most active SBA 504 lender in Louisiana given that over the last 10 years we have facilitated slightly over 50% of all the 504 loan production within the state. SBA 504 is a program that enhances economic development through fixed asset financing, whereby long term (20 year fixed rates) financing is available for owner occupied real-estate and/or some of the fixed (non-moveable) equipment needs (10 years fixed rates) of all Louisiana small businesses. The 504 structure is unique in that the SBA actually participates in the funding, taking a second mortgage or security interest for up to 40% of the project cost and the participating bank will fund 50% of the long term financing secured by a first mortgage. Many banks have recognized the 504 program as a value added product given the benefits of risk mitigation and alternate financing options.
