Credit cover pull-out threatens businesses

November 24, 2008

Anthony Brown, managing director for the international region at asset-based lender First Capital, agrees, adding that credit insurers have undercut lending rates offered by banks. This has meant those banks have had no option but to lend against bills due to be paid, and then insure the risk of them not being paid with the credit insurers themselves.

If the credit insurer then pulls out of the market, banks find themselves with unsecured risk - the last thing they can afford in this climate. Unsurprisingly, small businesses then find their loans being called in.

Capital Sources; Dispelling the myths about factoring as financing

October 15, 2008

Mark Sunshine, president of First Capital in West Palm Beach, said that while there may be anecdotal evidence to support an increase in factoring, “It’s kind of like the Lake Okeechobee drought: whether the lake is at 14 feet or 16 feet, it’s pretty deep. So we’re at 16 feet now. There’s the conventional wisdom, which is, I’m supposed to say, ‘yes, there is more demand because there’s a credit crisis.’ But the practical answer is demand is really about the same. We live in an economy that’s dominated by small- and medium-sized businesses, and accounts receivable finance has been a big part of how small- and medium-sized businesses have financed themselves for decades.”

Piper Jaffray Leads Banks Down; Ambac Takes Dive

October 9, 2008

"The Fed hasn't started buying commercial paper in any real amount and, though the [Treasury Secretary Henry] Paulson plan was passed, nothing has happened there yet. Everyone is still hyperventilating," said Mark Sunshine, president of Boca Raton, Florida, commercial lender First Capital.

Mr. Sunshine said those expecting instant gratification from the moves are mistaken, because the deleveraging has the same effect as a shrinking money supply, even though the Fed is trying to increase supply. For both investors and executives of banks, the biggest concern is a lack of confidence and trust.

Mark Hogard, CFO of First Capital, a factoring company, told CFO.com last month that he expects the firm to be hit by the rise in the cost of capital raised through commercial paper. Although it isn't a direct issuer of commercial paper, the company's lenders pass along the cost of commercial paper they issue to back loans to First Capital. "So when commercial paper [borrowing rates rise], that increases the cost of borrowing for us," he says.

"But, when assets aren't traded and are illiquid and opaque, like private bonds or loans, market prices are a worthless measure of value because there is no market to establish value. Not all assets that have no trading market are bad assets."
