Cash-Out Refi for Business Growth: PA Borrower Accesses Equity
Asset-Based Lending: How I Helped a PA Business Owner Tap Into Equity for Growth
Need cash for your business but banks are slamming the door? Many business owners struggle to access capital, especially when relying on traditional lenders. One borrower in Pennsylvania faced exactly that hurdle when seeking funds to fuel company expansion. Banks saw an “unknown PA” situation and hesitated. I saw an opportunity.
The Challenge: Limited Liquidity and Traditional Bank Roadblocks
Troy, a successful business owner with a thriving construction/plumbing/HVAC company generating $9.2 million in annual revenue, found himself needing additional capital to seize new growth opportunities. He owned an investment property in Hanover, PA, valued at roughly $250,000, free and clear. His plan was simple: leverage the property to secure a loan. But banks, facing internal policy constraints, dragged their feet. This is where I stepped in. My client needed liquidity without the red tape.
The Solution: Figure HELOC to the Rescue
I used the “Deal Architecture Method”: Problem (accessing cash), Mechanism (Figure HELOC), Result (funds for growth). The solution? A cash-out refinance through Figure, a lender I access through my wholesale channels. I structured a 30-year fixed-rate loan, allowing the borrower to pull out $186,000 of equity. Figure offers a streamlined process, cutting through the bureaucracy of traditional banks. This particular program worked where others failed because it focuses on asset-based lending, prioritizing the value of the property over rigid income verification. I was able to quickly secure financing, something the borrower couldn't achieve through conventional means. The 30-Lender Advantage comes into play here: I don't offer one loan product; I offer the best of thirty, simultaneously.

The Result: $186,000 in Funding for Business Expansion
The client received $186,000 in funding, enabling him to inject vital capital into his business operations. This allowed him to pursue new projects, hire additional staff, and ultimately accelerate his company's growth trajectory. While the specific interest rate is confidential, the speed and accessibility of the Figure loan outweighed marginal rate differences found at big retail banks. He married the house, and is dating the rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a HELOC?
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a type of loan that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. Unlike a traditional mortgage, a HELOC is a revolving line of credit, similar to a credit card, where you can draw funds as needed up to a certain limit. These are often used for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other major expenses.
How is a HELOC different from a cash-out refinance?
A HELOC is a second mortgage, meaning it's a separate loan from your existing mortgage. A cash-out refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new, larger loan, and you receive the difference in cash. HELOCs often have variable interest rates, while cash-out refinances typically have fixed rates. If you believe rates will decline, a HELOC gives you more flexibility.
What credit score is needed for a HELOC?
Most lenders require a minimum credit score of 680 or higher to qualify for a HELOC. However, some lenders may have stricter requirements, especially for larger loan amounts or higher loan-to-value ratios. Having a strong credit history increases your chances of approval and helps you secure a lower interest rate.
What are the benefits of asset-based lending?
Asset-based lending focuses primarily on the value of the asset being financed, rather than solely relying on the borrower's income or credit history. This can be beneficial for self-employed individuals or business owners who may have complex income situations or limited credit history. By leveraging the value of the asset, borrowers can access capital that might otherwise be unavailable through traditional lending channels.
