Regardless of the type of financing you desire you can be assured that Drake Bank will give you more personal and prompt attention than is available from most large banks. Our bankers have the experience and the “can-do” attitude that makes things happen!
Construction Financing
Drake Bank can help from the ground up, from land acquisition, through construction, to permanent financing. Having one experienced credit source for every phase of your project will save you time and money!
We are pros in construction-to-permanent financing, an approach that funds construction, then rolls the outstanding balance into a standard mortgage. There is only one closing. During construction, you pay only interest on the outstanding loan balance. You lock a maximum mortgage rate at the beginning when construction begins.
Of course, we also offer stand-alone construction loans. This type of loan doesn’t allow you to lock a maximum mortgage rate in advance, so you risk a rise in interest rates. Also, you pay for 2 closings.
We will help you decide which approach is best for you.
Working Capital Credit Lines
When the time comes that short-term funding is needed to increase inventory, to cope with seasonal cash flow issues, or to capture unexpected opportunities, we want to be the bank you call.
As you probably know, working capital is the amount of a company’s current assets minus the amount of its current liabilities. The adequacy of your working capital will depend on the industry in which you compete, your relationship with customers and suppliers, and more.
We understand the need for having adequate working capital and how, at times, additional cash can help you capture opportunities or deal with seasonal fluctuations in sales. Our bankers can arrange credit lines that will keep your company operating smoothly!
