USA  and International Commercial Project Financing

Commercial Funding International, LLC ("CFI") arranges commercial loans and project financing from $1MM to $5 Billion+ for businesses and projects in the USA and in USA-friendly countries. Founded in Portland, Oregon, in 2000, we are in our 26th year.

We are a boutique commercial mortgage brokerage and consulting firm. We work through a network of banks, private credit lenders, funds, and institutional investors. Our focus is $10MM and larger. For projects outside the USA, the minimum request is $10MM.

If you are serious about securing funding, email us a 1 to 5 page Executive Overview, or call us at (503) 245-2789. We do not charge an upfront retainer to review a project. Broker inquiries are welcome.

Our CFI Contact sources look for businesses and projects that possess:

  • A strong management team
  • A viable business plan
  • Good growth potential
  • At least 10% of the Client's own equity in the project
  • The ability to create value
  • The ability to generate cash, with acceptable projected net income
  • Proven technology, if it is an alternative energy project
  • A clearly defined exit strategy, unless it is a build, hold, and operate

The network we have developed over the last 26 years is comprised of many Funders. They focus on asset-based projects and on projects that forecast strong cash flow from future operations. They can lend on the financials of an established business, and they can also factor in the NOI forecast of a pre-revenue business or project.

The Client needs to provide the required documentation in a timely manner so the Funder can validate and underwrite the file. Whether a request is early-stage or advanced, the project needs to make sense. Our goal is to structure a deal that makes sense for everyone.

What We Arrange

 

How to Get Started

The first step is a 1 to 5 page Executive Overview. We review it at no upfront cost to decide whether the project is a fit. We turn down initial requests often. If we move forward, we will tell you exactly what a complete package requires. The full sequence is on The CFI Process page. Professionals who refer work to us can also read about our Referral Program.
