Cumberland Empowerment Zone Vineland Urban Enterprise Loan Program

Cumberland Empowerment Zone Vineland Urban Enterprise Loan Program The federal Empowerment Zone initiative is the most significant investment in urban and rural community revitalization in a generation. The program allocates up to $230 million in tax incentives and flexible funds over a 10- year period, providing targeted neighborhoods and businesses with the flexibility to design and implement comprehensive neighborhood and economic development initiatives. Cumberland County was one of only 15 communities nation-wide to be designated as a Round II Empowerment Zone. The Federal Empowerment Zone program sunsetted in 2010. However, due to careful planning and management of funds, the Cumberland Empowerment Zone Corporation is able to use second generation funding to support several loan programs. In addition to its own funding programs, the Cumberland Empowerment Zone Corporation has developed a partnership with the Vineland Urban Enterprise Zone ( UEZ ) to administer a small business loan program. The Vineland UEZ was created to assist in the revitalization of the City of Vineland through business retention and expansion programs. The UEZ Loan Program concentrates on creating real estate tax ratables for the tax rolls of the City of Vineland, creating and retaining jobs for its citizens, and generating sales tax revenue. Businesses in the UEZ benefit from reduced sales tax collected and paid to the State of New Jersey for sales within the UEZ. The objective of the Vineland UEZ Loan Program administered by the Cumberland Empowerment Zone Corporation is to provide favorable financial incentives which, when coupled with private financing, will stimulate business expansion in the UEZ. The Loan Program is available to businesses that currently exist and new businesses which are moving into the designated UEZ areas of the City. Decisions on applications for a loan are based on the criteria outlined in the CEZ Loan Policies and Procedures. To qualify for a Vineland UEZ Loan, an applicant must be certified as a UEZ business. This qualification must be issued by the State of New Jersey and is process through the office of the Enterprise Zone

Development Corporation Vineland and Millville. To be certified, a project under consideration must be located within the geographic limits of the City section of the UEZ zone. The approval and disbursement of Urban Enterprise Zone (UEZ) funds is contingent upon the Company/Borrower remaining a UEZ certified business while meeting and maintaining all outstanding tax obligations to the State of New Jersey. Furthermore, existing recipients/borrowers must remain a UEZ certified business while meeting and maintaining all tax obligations to the State of New Jersey to continue their UEZ loans. Failure to comply with this mandate may result in default and repayment of their outstanding loan balance(s). To verify your current certificate status or to certify your business under the UEZ program, please contact Nilsa Rosario at (856) 563-0440. UEZ Real Estate

GUIDELINES FOR REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAMS In order to achieve the objectives of the Empowerment Zone (EZ), the following loan programs have been established: The Business Loan Program, The Micro Loan Program, The Vineland UEZ Loan Program and The Bridge Loan Program. The primary beneficiaries for use of these funds are private for-profit and nonprofit entities located within Cumberland Empowerment Zone (CEZC) municipalities or Vineland Urban Enterprise Zone, who will implement projects that stimulate economic development through job creation and retention, establishment of new small businesses and expansion of existing small businesses, and the development and redevelopment of commercial and industrial buildings. The programs are designed to be an inducement of private sector investment and not to supplant bank financing. The following procedural outline has been developed to insure fair and equitable management regarding disbursement of funds for loan activities. All final terms and conditions of each loan are subject to approval by the CEZC Board of Directors. The Business Loan Program CEZC has implemented a revolving loan program that provides subordinate financing to a bank primary lender to encourage private sector investment and also provide an inducement for the business to hire EZ residents. In situations where bank financing cannot be obtained, CEZC may act as a primary lender provided that the applicant meets the underwriting criteria of the CEZC and the benefits to the EZ municipality warrant the investment. Loan Guidelines Use of Funds Funds may be used for the acquisition of land and buildings, new construction and site improvements, renovations, acquisition of machinery and equipment, and working capital. Working capital may be used for inventory financing, receivable financing, training and marketing financing. Loan Amounts Loan amounts may be up to 40% of the total project costs within target areas with a maximum loan amount of $250,000. The percent of CEZC funding is determined by the ability to utilize other public/private funding sources and the project s gap in financing. In addition to project costs and funding sources, loan amounts are also based on the number of jobs created and the impact the project has on the EZ. The federal guideline of $35,000 per job created will be utilized as a basis for this evaluation. Borrower s Equity Loan applicants are required to provide at least a 10% equity contribution to the project. UEZ Real Estate 1

Interest Rate Interest rates are based on the structure of the financing and the EZ resident benefit. Interest rates are fixed for a term of five years and will typically not be below 5%. Term The terms is a five-year balloon with amortizations up to 25 years subject to the useful life of the asset or fully amortized loans up to a maximum of 15 years. Fees There is a $150 application fee and a 1% servicing fee paid at closing. The borrower is also responsible for paying fees for preparation and recording of loan documents. The application fee may be waived if the loan is a partnership with another public entity that requires an additional application fee. Loan Evaluation A determination is made as to the merits of the request, the likelihood of repayment and the adequacy of collateral available to secure the financing. Loans are approved based on the reasonableness of the request and the likelihood of repayment by profit generation. No loan is made where the only likely source of repayment is collateral liquidation. Collateral liquidation is a lastresort method of repayment. No one of these factors used in credit evaluation is the sole determining factor in approving or denying a request for financial assistance. All of the analytical tools are used in making the determination. The terms of the loan are structured so as to provide a balance between the needs of the applicant and CEZC. The Micro Loan Program CEZC has implemented a revolving loan program that targets small business startups and expansions in EZ municipalities and downtown census tracts. Loan Guidelines Use of Funds Funds may be used for inventory, supplies, furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, minor renovations and working capital. The funds cannot be used to refinance existing debt. Loan Amounts Under the micro loan program, small businesses can borrow up to $35,000. Borrower s Equity A minimum of 10% is required; however, use of funds determines the amount required. Interest Rate The interest rate is fixed and is set by the CEZC Board of Directors and will typically not be less than 5%. UEZ Real Estate 2

Term Dependant upon the strength of the application and accompanying collateral. Generally, term is a maximum of seven - ten years. Fees There is a $100 non-refundable application fee and a 1% servicing fee paid at closing. The borrower is also responsible for paying fees for preparation and recording of loan documents. Loan Evaluation Micro loans are structured at a fixed percentage rate for five ten years. The CEZC Board of Directors determines the fixed rate annually. Successful applicants will demonstrate the ability to repay the loan, have a good credit history (having no or some negative credit will not necessarily disqualify an applicant), ability to create jobs, occupy existing underutilized real estate and most importantly a realistic business startup or expansion plan. The Vineland UEZ Loan Program CEZC has created a partnership with the City of Vineland and currently implements a revolving loan program that targets small business startups and expansions in the Vineland Urban Enterprise Zone. Loan Guidelines Use of Funds Funds may be used for inventory, supplies, furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment, the acquisition of land and buildings, new construction and site improvements, renovations and working capital. The funds cannot be used to refinance existing debt. Loan Amounts Under the Vineland UEZ loan program, businesses can borrow up to $ 125,000, depending upon the project and business. New or start-up businesses may borrow up to $35,000.00. For loans above $35,000.00, the percent of CEZC funding is determined by the ability to utilize other public/private funding sources and the project s gap in financing. Borrower s Equity A minimum of 10% is required; however, use of funds determines the amount required. Interest Rate The interest rate is fixed and is set by the CEZC Board of Directors and will generally not be below 5%. Term Between 7 years and 25 years subject to the useful life of the asset. Fees There is a non-refundable $ 100 application fee and a 1% servicing fee paid at closing. The borrower is also responsible for paying fees for preparation and recording of loan documents.

No one of these factors used in credit evaluation is the sole determining factor in approving or denying a request for financial assistance. All of the analytical tools are used in making the determination. The terms of the loan are structured so as to provide a balance between the needs of the applicant and CEZC. The Bridge Loan Program CEZC has implemented a short-term revolving loan program that provides interim financing, bridging the gap between pre-development costs, construction financing and permanent financing. This loan is usually used in conjunction with EZ tax-exempt bond financing. Applicant must have a commitment for permanent financing in order to receive funding. Use of Funds Funds may be used for real estate acquisition, predevelopment expenses, new construction, renovations and machinery. Loan Amounts Loan amounts may be up to a maximum of $500,000. Borrower s Equity Loan applicants must contribute the lesser of the total equity that is required for permanent financing or the amount equal to the bridge loan. Interest Rate Interest rates are based on the structure of the financing and the EZ resident benefit. Interest rates are fixed for the term of the loan, not to exceed two years, and will have a floor of 5%. Term There is a maximum term of two years. Repayment is usually monthly interest-only payments with a balloon payment due at closing of permanent financing. Fees There is a $150 application fee and a 1% servicing fee paid at closing. The borrower is also responsible for paying fees for preparation and recording of loan documents. UEZ Real Estate 4

Loan Evaluation A determination is made as to the merits of the request, the likelihood of repayment, commitment for permanent financing, and collateral available. This money is usually the first money in the project so heavy emphasis is placed on the owner s commitment by way of equity contribution and the benefit to the EZ. The applicant must provide a personal guarantee. The terms of the loan are structured so as to provide a balance between the needs of the applicant and the CEZC.
