Financing Basics for Economic Development
Session Overview:• What is your ED Financing Environment?• Screen the Deal and Analyze the Deal• Financing Resources and Programs• Issues to Consider• Where to Get More Information• Handouts/Appendix
4
Understanding Your ED Environment
• Need to understand all aspects of the project in order to tailor the proposed assistance
• Each project will have its individual and unique needs.
• Need a full toolbox, not just financing tools or incentives, to meet the needs of all projects.
5
Understanding Your ED Environment
• Most projects do not need financial assistance, but can use other assistance
• Financing is only part of the equation
• There is a tendency to throw money at projects without really understanding the project and its true needs.

Business Financial Analysis
I. The Process
II. Terms and Concepts
III. Tips for Doing the Deal
7
– The analysis depends on the need– Look at the business and the project– Examine the past, present and future financial
information– The information tells a story about the business’
financial picture, operating cycle, trends, and ability to handle downturns
– Reformat financial information– Determine key ratios, compare with industry
averages and past performance– Analyze projections for reasonableness– Match funding to the “gap”
Cost of capitalAvailability of capital
The Process
8
Types of Business Loans
• Short-term loans – working capital, inventory, accounts receivable.
• Medium-term loans – equipment, machinery, leasehold improvements.
• Long-term loans – building, acquisition, renovation, construction, land acquisition.
9
Have the owner tell you their “story” What is the business trying to finance? Who does the business bank with?
Has the business applied for a loan with its bank?
If declined, why? Is the business profitable? Does the business owner have cash to
put into the deal? Do they have collateral to secure the
loan? Is there a business plan and financial
information?

Analyze the Deal• “Spread” the Financial Statements: Horizontal and vertical analysis
• Ratio Analysis - Key ratios•Current: current assets/current liabilities
–Quick: cash + cash equivalents + accounts receivable/current liabilities
–Debt-to-worth: total liabilities/net worth
• Review projections and assumptions to business plan, historical data and industry data (make sure jobs are there)
• Projections should be done with and without public assistance • Compare to industry averages (Robert Morris Associates - RMA) • Analyze business operating cycle
•Cash – Inventory – Sales – Accounts Receivable – Cash--Automobiles – long cycle
--Food Service – short cycle• Use tax returns to verify information

• Limited funding options• Personal Savings: crack open the piggy bank, max out
credit cards, get a second mortgage on the house• Beg & Borrow: call rich friends/relatives;offer a stake
in return for an investment;be clear about risks• Loans: tough sell; personal assets as collateral; have

Incentives
• Incentives can vary depending on need of project. Incentives can include:
• Financing• Land or Land Write-downs• Tax Rebates/Tax Credit• Paying/Waiving of Fees• Training/Retraining Funds• Streamlined/Expedited Permit Process• Infrastructure• Master environmental/planning documents
47
Checklist for Evaluating Incentives
Quantify the benefits of the project (jobs, quality of jobs, taxes, etc.)
Determine the pay back periodAssess opportunity costs to the community
(alternative use and benefits of the funds)Match the level of incentive to the component of
private investmentRequire an increase in project benefit in
exchange for an increase in community investment
Evaluate after the fact to see if projected benefits were received
