Loan Request: $340K plus additional $100-200KThese clients are in their 2nd full year of business in their new company (although they have been running their parent's business for the past 9+ years).Bill Smith & Jane Doe are 30 year veteran plumbers. They currently operate their business out of the building they own (at 12345 Main St) which is worth approximately $450,000. Bill & Jane worked for the family's plumbing business ABC Enterprises which was started by their parents which has been replaced by XYZ Group (2013). ABC Enterprises has now closed their business in 2014 and referred all their clients to Paul & Peter's new company, XYZ Group Ltd.

Purpose of loan:Part 1 - Payout RBC mortgage $200K + 100K HELOC. Also consolidate business credit card debts of approx $40K.Part 2 - Request of additional $100-200K funds for mezzanine and business expansion. Funds would be used to build/expand office in their building. The additional fundswill also allow them to bid on more projects as well as hiring more trade personnel. This will increase their capacity to successfully bid on more projects.

Clients: Bill Smith beacon: 686 / Jane Doe beacon: 721Both applicants have good credit history. The few late payments are due to the trade that they're in, using up their credit cards and paying them off but forget to do it now and then. Although, they have never made any missed payments on their mortgages.Bill Smith has $55K+ liquid investments. Jane Doe has over $115K in liquid investments.

Financials: XYZ Group's first year 2013 had $132K in revenue in the 4 short months (from Sept - Dec 31, 2013). XYZ Group has over $680K in current projects and over $1.8M in the pipeline.

Current projects:- Warehouse in langley, $130,000 / Duplex in North Vancouver, $30,000 / Lane house in North Vancouver, $12,000 / 38 units in East Vancouver, $511,000Projects in pipeline:- 5 more lane homes Surrey/Langley, $1.8M development projects currently under negotiations with project managers. (see attachment)

Challenge:XYZ Group Ltd was incorporated in August 2013. They have actively done business in the past 16 months under this company. 2014 financials are not completed yet. Interim financials have been requested. We can discuss further base on those financials. Clients have told me that their 2015 projections are very positive.

I believe the part 1 of the financing should be inline with your lending guidelines, part 2 should be possible if you normalized the 2014 financials and the strength of the business moving forward. The interim financials plus new projects being added would support at least $100K+
