Preferred Equity Finance Solutions in Australia
Preferred equity finance can help you spread capital across multiple projects, start earlier on a project and/or potentially increase your return on cost.
Preferred equity is a form of financing that effectively takes a direct stake in a project and is paid back before common equity but behind any debt positions. Typically, a preferred equity facility will come with a coupon rate of annual return rather than a profit share arrangement.
How does preferred equity finance work?
Like mezzanine funding, taking a preferred equity facility may enable a developer to spread capital across projects, start earlier on a project and potentially increase their return on cost. This financing can be used for funding every stage of the project; including research, feasibility, pre-construction, construction, marketing costs and property sales.
Preferred equity differs from mezzanine finance, however, as rather than take a second mortgage position on the property with a defined interest rate, a provider will take an equity stake in the development entity (usually with a fixed coupon rate). While the end result is very similar, this structuring can be more suitable than mezzanine finance in certain situations – for instance, where the senior debt provider does not allow a mezzanine finance facility to go in behind them.
