Colebrook Financial Company Webinar Shares Criteria Used to Evaluate Hypothecation Loan Requests

Colebrook Financial Company, a leading lender to the timeshare and vacation club industries, announces the availability of a new, online webinar offering insights into the criteria Colebrook uses to evaluate hypothecation loan requests.

Colebrook partners Bill Ryczek and Mark Raunikar talk about concepts that will help developers applying for timeshare or vacation club funding understand what goes into the decision process and how their process might differ from that of large financial institutions.

“We’ve been lending to resort developers for a long time,” says Ryczek. “I can pretty much tell within a few minutes of conversation whether we have a deal or not. Our experience helps us understand what it takes to make a successful project.”

The webinar lays out what developers need to know when approaching a lender. Specifically, it explains the way Colebrook approaches a loan request and how they work closely with small and large developers with varying needs. Mark pointed out that it’s far more important to emphasize the mitigation of risk rather than the potential for large profits.

Colebrook is a pioneer in many forms of financing and is always one of the first to comprehend the latest iteration of the timeshare industry, adapting much more quickly than larger organizations. Colebrook Principal Bill Ryczek started in 1979, Mark Raunikar in 1988, and Tom Petrisko (who was on special assignment and does not appear in the webinar) in 1998.
