The Bridge to Bond: How to Finance Pre-Bond Facility Expenses
Charter School Capital is constantly innovating solutions to support charters at all stages of growth. As such, we have created a bridge to bond solution to cover up to 100% of pre-bond financing costs, without requiring schools to tap into cash reserves.
In addition to pre-bond financing, our bridge financing solution can be used for debt consolidation, land acquisition, tenant improvements, or mortgage down payments. We offer competitive rates and customized and flexible financing terms to get you the financing you need at a cost you can afford.
WHAT IS BRIDGE TO BOND FINANCING?
This type of bridge financing is designed to help schools with short to mid-term pre-development and development investments needed in advance of long term / permanent facilities financing.
WHAT IS BRIDGE FINANCING USED FOR?
Schools can use funds for a variety of purposes:
- Land acquisition
- Permitting / Entitlements
- Design fees
- Third-party reports
- Pre-construction
- Pre-open marketing expenses
- Zoning
- Survey work
- Working capital
BRIDGE TO BOND BENEFITS: FACILITIES BUDGET VS. SCHOOL REVENUES
Bridge financing allows you to control your development/ construction timeline in order to avoid costly delays:
- Inconsistent construction timelines
- Paying additional and unnecessary rent on two locations (old site and new site)
- Attrition of students and staff due to mistrust, damage to school’s reputation, or lack of (or uncertainty around) facility access
