Service Areas
Financial Modeling and Long Range Financial Planning
CFC offers a comprehensive financial modeling tool and long range financial planning process that enables an organization to fully understand its current financial position and to accurately map its way to a more secure financial future. With the current reality of the world and the Church being one of progressively scarcer resources, financial modeling and planning enables an organization to prudently shape the future.
Financing and Refinancing
Working as part of your finance team, and with specialized knowledge of traditional and non-traditional loan sources, CFC will guide the identification and proper solicitation of lender candidates, assist with the design, dissemination and review of the Request for Proposal (RFP), and negotiate loan terms and conditions. While respectful of existing banking relationships, a conventional or tax-exempt financing package can be secured that will perfectly fit the organizations long range plan and its capacity to repay the loan.
Tax Exempt Financing
When planning a construction project or re-financing an existing facility for which a specific area can be dedicated to qualified use, the issuance of tax-exempt debt as part of the total financing package can result in substantial savings for the borrower compared to strictly conventional financing. CFC professionals, highly experienced in this specialized field, can assist in the early project planning to determine how the benefits of tax exempt financing can best be captured, can guide the institution through the governmental process, can facilitate the selection of bankers and subsequent negotiations, and can shepherd the financing to a successful closing.
Deposit and Loan Fund Management
CFC brings depositors and borrowers together, affording each party security, favorable rates, proper documentation and professional management. Borrowers are subject to a rigorous underwriting process and guided through to execution of a complete document set. Depositors are secure in the knowledge that their money is invested in sound projects that promote the growth of the Church.
Other Services
Various elements of our service offerings are regularly combined to focus on specific organizational needs, such as: financial and operational counseling, construction fund management, merger and/or closure assistance, and informational/training seminars.
