Metro Funding Closes a $1,300,000 Loan

PARAMUS, N.J., July 16, 2009 -- Metro Funding Corp. (MFC), a private asset-based lender, headquartered in Paramus, N.J., announces the funding of a $1,300,000 loan for the refinance of two restaurants in Larchmont, New York and a Strip Mall Center in Jupiter, FL.

The borrower approached MFC with the need to pay off delinquent property taxes on a Strip Mall Center he recently inherited. These delinquent taxes needed to be paid off quickly before the property would be put up for auction. In effort to save this property, MFC tried to be as creative as possible and requested additional collateral. The borrower was able to provide two operating restaurants in Larchmont, NY. "Although many businesses are staying afloat in today’s difficult economy, conventional banks are unable to provide funding in the time needed to satisfy borrowers. MFC remains stable, though, and is able to fund quickly, giving borrowers the opportunity to continue running their businesses smoothly,” says Senior Underwriter, Jason Lasser. By providing the additional two restaurants, MFC was able to aid in paying off the delinquent taxes in time to save the property. The borrower continues to be a proud owner of the Strip Mall Center and is running both restaurants in Larchmont successfully.

Metro Funding Closes a $2,300,000 Loan

PARAMUS, N.J., July 16, 2009 -- Metro Funding Corp. (MFC) recently closed a $2,300,000 loan for the refinance of two operating Car Wash Facilities in Lewisville and Prosper, TX.

The borrower approached MFC in order to refinance its current debt and provide working capital for a planned marketing effort. The borrower’s original bank filed for bankruptcy and was taken over by the FDIC, leading to a forced maturity of the note. Due to the short period of time allowed by the FDIC to refinance the properties, the borrower needed a quick source of capital in order to avoid foreclosure and loss of his business. When asked about the reason for funding this deal, Senior Underwriter, Joe Adler, mentioned, "Metro Funding is pleased to fund deals that keep businesses afloat in order to strengthen our current economy.” Both car washes are currently running successfully.
