We are seeing concernn across the country. People are holding their breath and waiting to see wherde theshoe drops.” The good news: Businessesx that don’t qualify for conventional bank financing are continuing to benefif from the SBA’s 7(a) Loan Guaranty Program. Just look at the For the fiscal yearendedx Sept.
30, the federa l agency approved 78,000 loans and a tota of $18 billion in federapl guaranteesthrough 7(a) – the primary loan program as well as its 504 loans. “Thw SBA is here. We are open for business,” says Eric associate administrator at the Office of Capitalo Accessin Washington, D.C. “We are here to support America’s smal l businesses in their different needs and to help make sure they have accessto capital. The team here at SBA is committesd tothat mission.” The federal agency doesn’ t actually make the loan. Rather, companies approach lenders and work directluywith them.
If the bank deems a businesws loantoo risky, it may suggest that the applicant considet applying under the Loan Guaranty The SBA will back up to 85 percentt of loans up to “The fundamental of it is if (lenders) can do the loan conventionallyg – if it meets their conventional standardxs – they don’t need an SBA guarantee,” Zarniko said. “But if the business, for whatever requires things that are outsider of their normal credit then that’s where the SBA comes in. It might be a longer repayment period; it might be that they don’t have as much it might be a different interest rate or a differenf structure ofthe loan.
” He said there’s a long list of lenderxs nationwide that actively participate in SBA The loans they make are used for everything from equipment purchase and working capital to expansioh of existing facilities. “It’s not the decisionm of the small-business owner,” Ettenso noted. “It’s really the decision of the bankers whether they want to enteer into that relationship with SBA and get that loan The Association of Small Business DevelopmenyCenters (asbdc-us.org) represents a network of nearly 1,00p centers nationwide that offer free consultingg and low-cost training.
The according to the Web site, is helpingv entrepreneurs realize their dream of business ownership and boosting the competitiveness ofexistingg companies. The association, fundef in part through a partnershilp withthe SBA, offersd a direct link to the federapl agency and other resources on its Web “It’s a huge infrastructure,” said Ettenson, who in the past has worke one-on-one with entrepreneurs in several states. “About 60 percent of our clientsd are people who are already in business and 40 percentt are in thestartup mode.” For new and existinfg companies looking to participate in the 7(a) program, a good businesd plan is a must.
Take the time to effectivelty craft the plan before you approach a lender aboutf financingyour dream, business advisers say. All capita sources will want to see your plan for the startup and growtuh ofyour business. “We actually don’t do direct Zarnikow said. “We provide a partial government guarantew of a loan that is made by a credit union, small-business lending corporation or certified development company.
“So basically the lenders need to represenyt to us that they would not have made the loan of the same terms without the partial government It means that the borrower is basically gettin g a loan thatthey wouldn’ otherwise qualify for in the conventionaol market,” he said. That’s good news for the small-business “Small businesses are mainstream America,” Ettenson said. “Wd are 98 percent of the employers in this If you look at large they areshedding jobs. This economy will only grow througnh the growth ofsmall business.” Her advice?
Don’ t get discouraged and give up on that loan you want and “What’s interesting is I think a lot of smalo businesses come to (the SBDCs) thinking: ‘Here is my business Here are my financials. Here’s my cash flow. If I go to Bank X and they turnme I’m done.’ The answer is that’s not because everybody’s lending portfolio is different. You have to shop that businesssplan around,” Ettenson said.

Anothere requires electric utilities to bemore green. There’sz even a bill allowing all homeowners to hang something previously prohibited by somecommunity Rep.
Hermina Morita, chairwoman of the Housd committee on energy and environmental said the various measures build on the Hawaiiu CleanEnergy Initiative, which aims to cut the state’s dependencwe on oil for making electrical power over the next 20 “We know we have to be realisticv and pragmatic in crafting laws that will framwe our clean energy opportunities long into the future,” said D-Kapaa-Hanalei. “Right now, the emphasis of Hawaii’s cleahn energy future needs to be on maximizinhgenergy efficiency, to put off the decision and need to build new fossik fuel power plants, [and] the integration of a renewable-energy system into a modernized smart grid.

"The contractors starter before the building designzwere done." That certainly explains how the buildingv was built so quickly.
But it doesn't tell the whole In the early '90s, PacifiCorp, whicyh owned some 70 blocks in theLloyd District, decideds it wanted its cash in powed plants rather than real estate. So PacifiCorp slowlgy sold off most of its holdingd throughPacific Development. Waiting for the righft buyer, PacifiCorp held on to a 20-bloc chunk in the heart of the districft that was zonedfor high-rise office. Meanwhile, The Ashfortnh Co., headquarters in Connecticut and rootzs in Seattle dating backto 1953, was busy identifyingy other geographic locations in whicuh it wanted to spend its time and The company hired two brokerws from the Norman Co., now with to find the right investment.
"Thi deal popped up in Portland and it met our investmenf screen almost toa tee," said Hank president of Ashforth Pacific, the Ashfort subsidiary set up to manags the portfolio after the purchase. "It had a university, an international airport, good quality of life and white colladjob growth." And at 20 blocks--including Lloyd Centeer Tower, the neighboring Port of Portland superbloc and the Oregon Square buildings--irt was a big enough portfolio that the company coulxd set up a management team and sink its teethu into the actual operating of the But when the first conversation took place in Januaryg 1993, PacifiCorp was negotiating with the Dursty family out of New For a variety of reasons, includin g price, the Durst negotiations collapsed in Marcg of that year.
"When that deal fell we got the opportunitg to do things directly out of this said Klein, referring to Pacific Development. After severak conversations with Ashforth's brokers, Klein went back to Ashforth'ss then-headquarters in Stamford to talk face-to-face with Ashforth'ss investment committee, in the fall of 1994. At the time, however, the deal did not included LloydCenter Tower, the high-rise officwe building directly across from the Lloyrd Center now owned jointly by Ashfortn Pacific and PacifiCorp. Instead, the deal includex a soon-to-be vacant building known as the 500 Building and an adjacenfparking garage.
But that deal was thrownm for a loop when Kaiser Permanenter came in and was willing to pay top dolla forthe property. "We would have been selling it empty tothe , whicbh obviously meant they would get material discountg to value," Klein said. "So we sold the buildinh (and a neighboring block used for parking) to Then they told the Ashforths, who respondesd by saying the deal was no longeebig enough. "It was real indigestiohn for us," said Klein, who at the time was workingf forPacific Development.
"We had the Ashforths here who we who were good people and fit all of our investment but were no longer happyt withthe deal, and the Durst deal had fallenb through. "So we took a deep breath and a couple weekxs offto regroup." That was all it took. In ordef to save the deal, PacifiCorp offererd Ashforth shared ownership of LloydCenter Tower, of which Liberty Northwest, a subsidiarhy of Liberty Mutual, was an anchoe tenant. "We sprung it on (the Ashforth investmenyt committee), and they said yeah, you've got a deal," Kleih recalled.
Meanwhile, PacifiCorp, whic h had previously been lookiny at building anew 20-story headquarterw building on some of its property, decided insteas to move into Lloyd Centerr Tower. That meant Liberty Northwest, with 110,000 square feet in the buildingv and an expiring would need a new Knowing this, Pacific Development had been workinh with Liberty on all sorts of low-risde design schemes before the sale to the Ashforthss even took place. But nothing piqued their interest. "So reallyu almost in a default mode, we decide to take a shot at a high Klein said.
"We quickly had GBD Architectds create a graphic that gave them a visuap representation of what the building would look like and the viewds theycould get. Theird eyebrows went up and westartefd talking." That meant the high rise would have to be on properth now being sold to the Ashforths. it meant the building would have to be up and readt for occupancy byApril 1996, when Liberty's leaser at Lloyd Center Tower ran out. So delighted to already have a major office project forits soon-to-bed property, started working very closely with the Pacifixc Development team.
