Selling Your Naming Rights Can Provide You with Millions of Dollars for Initial Architectural Construction and/or Continuing Architectural Construction Expansion!

Naming Rights Transactions/Deals are becoming increasingly more popular and profitable for many corporations. Many For-Profit and Non-profit businesses and organizations and municipalities are finding that Naming Rights are an excellent debt-free, risk-free way to obtain millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions and sometimes billions of dollars for initial architectural construction and architectural construction expansion, which also includes overall improvement to sustain, expand, and renovate your establishment or municipality entity.

Naming Rights Deals are good for both the Naming Rights Sellers and Naming Rights Buyers and sometimes it is an extremely wise and profitable move for some For-Profit and Non-profit businesses and organizations to become both a Naming Rights Seller and a Naming Rights Buyer.

     Naming Rights Deals can greatly vary in length and in their amounts. Their length can vary from just a few short years to the entire life of the building (or other kind of entity). Most are 10 years or more. But the time-range length is very negotiable. The highest paid Naming Rights Deal ever negotiated and implemented in the U. S. was for Citi Field and the Barclays Center; both in New York City. Each of those two Naming Rights Deals garnered $400 million, which was paid out at a rate of $20 million over a 20 year period. The new home of the New York Jets, which is presently being constructed will surpass both of those deals and will annually garner approximately $25 to $30 million.

     Corporate and organizational entities are becoming more and more interested in finding ways to overcome the setbacks and profit limitations and decreases brought on by the negativities we are experiencing globally in the economy. Many of them are becoming Naming Rights Buyers because they know that utilizing the methodology of Naming Rights will give them a strong and unique competitive edge. They know that the marketing and branding aspects involved in having their corporate name or the name of their organization on a venue that is very much seen by consumers is a way for them to greatly increase public recognition, which will convert into increased sales and profits.

    A strong trend that is here to stay is also developing in terms of a dramatic increase in the numbers of Naming Rights Sellers (and Naming Rights Buyers) globally. Naming Rights Sellers are finding that they can obtain huge sums of money just by merely selling Naming Rights to their establishment. They are also finding they can simultaneously obtain additional advertising strength for free simply by the symbiotic effect of having their name linked with the Naming Rights Buyer as a result of the Naming Rights Deal.

     Profit Increase Funding, Inc. is the only company in the world that, in addition to first facilitating and transacting your Naming Rights deals can also secondarily Factor them or only Factor them if they already exist (for the Seller of the Naming Rights) and therefore combine ALL of the future annual incremented payments of the Naming Right into just ONE lump sum of CASH for the Seller of the Naming Rights up to 95 percent of the total cash value of the Naming Rights. This allows the Seller of the Naming Rights to not have to wait for the Naming Rights payments to be paid to them over a period of sometimes 5, 10, 15, or even 20 or 30 years; but instead be able to cash-in-NOW on those payments. This also allows the Seller of the Naming Rights to not have to negatively contend with the detrimental effect of the depreciating value of the dollar. This is our exclusive concept that was conceived of and is now being pioneered and implemented by Brian Strugs, the President/CEO of Profit Increase Funding, Inc.

       There are many challenges and much confusion about understanding how the process of obtaining and securing a Naming Rights Deal works and where to turn to for help with the process. This includes the need of Naming Rights Sellers who want to know where to go and who to turn to so they can obtain some of the billions of untapped Naming Rights dollars out there. Naming Rights Buyers equally have a hard time understanding the process and finding solid companies to spend their advertising, marketing and branding dollars on that will give them the highest and best use of and return on their naming rights investment. The answer for both of them is to study this website extensively, including this News Segment by reading some of the articles below about Naming Rights written by Brian Strugs, the President/CEO of Profit Increase Funding, Inc.!

    Asset Based Loans: Asset Based Lending is any kind of loan that is secured by an asset. These kinds of loans are normally secured by such things as real estate, equipment, machinery, accounts receivables, and inventory. But occasionally, they can also be secured by such things as intellectual property, patents, trademarks, pharmacy script files and other things of an unorthodox manner. If the recipient of the Asset Based Loan does not pay back the loan, the assets put up for security of the loan are then taken from the recipient of the Asset Based Loan. That means that then the Funding Source Company that supplied the loan owns the assets.

     In some ways, the Asset Based Line of Credit is very similar to a traditional Business Line of Credit. The way it is set up enables a business to financially bridge itself in a financially self-sustaining capacity while it waits to receive payments via its accounts receivables. The process may involve establishing a revolving line of credit that is regulated and adapts to the balances of the accounts receivables of the business that obtained the Asset Based Loan. This also places the recipient business in the advantage of being able to obtain larger lines of credit based on the increasing dollar amounts of their accounts receivables. Profit Increase Funding via the financial tool of an Asset Based Loan enables businesses of all sizes (from small to Fortune 500 Companies) to tap into their own assets to sustain and/or expand themselves through cyclical or seasonal periods or turnaround scenarios.

Conventional financing institutions, strategies and methodologies as well as govenmental assistance programs are drying up and turning a deaf ear to the needs of companies and municipalities. Plus, the increasing negativities of the economy, with no end in sight, are setting many businesses and municipalities up for inevitable down-sizing and/or failure. But we at Profit Increase Funding, Inc. are dedicated to providing you with unequaled creative financial solutions that can assist your business or municipality to overcome temporary financial defeat or suppression. You will find that Profit Increase Funding is proactive not reactive and that we structure our Asset Based Loans with the highest optimal intent that will address your specific needs.

Sometimes a revolving loan can be established that allows the borrower to have a pool of collateral that supplies the borrower with working capital. The borrower can then use that cash to do various things for their business that otherwise they would not have been able to do such as: research and development, productivity improvement, market and territorial expansion, purchasing more materials, or architectural construction expansion, (also see our Naming Rights services regarding DEBT-FREE initial architectural construction and/or architectural construction expansion and renovations. The accounts receivables that are eventually paid to the borrower are pledged to the Asset Based Lender (the Funding Source Company) and the payments obtained by the borrower from their accounts receivables gradually pay down the loan. The loan balance is cyclical and therefore the loan is a revolving loan.

     Also see the more elaborated article below on Asset Based Lending entitled: “The Advantages of Asset Based Lending”. Bridge Loans: In business, it is a fact that no matter how well a business is doing financially and no matter how much they try to anticipate and prepare for the future, there is always the possibility that something unforeseen and unsuspected may happen that causes your business to suffer an unexpected negative turn. When those kinds of things happen it is best to have means of consistently solid and preferably increasing and diversified sales, cash reserves, lines of credit and a means of alternative financing in place that can ensure that you will be able to survive and ride out the financial storm. But unfortunately, even for multi-million and multi-billion dollar Fortune 500 Companies, that often is not the case. Plus, when combined with the impact and volatility of the global economy, often companies (and also non-profit companies and municipalities) find themselves in financial predicaments that they have no way out of or are extremely difficult and/or are highly unlikely for them to get out of and avoid bankruptcy and eventual failure. This is especially if they do not have long-term financing, alternative or numerous streams of income, or a pending influx of accounts receivables.

      A Bridge Loan (also known as a “Swing Loan”, “Caveat Loan”, “Gap Financing” or “Interim Financing”) is used to provide interim (temporary) financing for businesses (and sometimes individuals) to chronologically bridge them over until they can obtain their next phase of financing or permanent financing. Then the money obtained from the next phase of financing or permanent financing (obtained independently from and AFTER the Bridge Loan) is typically used to pay back their Bridge Loan and also used to fund their remaining capitalization requirements. Bridge Loans are an expeditious and easy way to obtain cash (often tens of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars) and are often used by businesses to financially sustain themselves so as to not run out of operating capital in-between consecutive financings from primary equities and/or before their initial public offerings. These kinds of loans are contingently based upon the pending influx of capital and are predominately secured by various kinds of collateral such as inventory, real estate, accounts receivables and other tangible and intangible assets.

     Monetize Your In-Ground Assets: All around the world, companies of all kinds are searching for: (1) new, highly effective and efficient ways of increasing their income streams, (2) the ablilty to discover and implement new lucrative ways to monetize their assets, especially those assets that they previously thought they could not monetize and (3) ways to build their profits to sustain and/or expand their establishment. Without those three things, many companies are finding that combined with the strain of the global economy they are either at a financial-profit standstill or significant decrease or in a financial-profit nose-dive to an inevitable bankrupt crash-landing.

     Many of the companies that are in trouble or headed toward it whether they know it or not are companies that own In-Ground Assets. In-Ground-Assets are assets that a company owns that are in the ground such as: oil and gas, coal, gold, silver, silica, kaolin, diamonds, copper, aluminum, nickel, liquid traded metals, and other minerals. Many companies, even some enormously large multi-million and multi-billion dollar companies do not know there are ways to monetize their In-Ground-Assets even before they sell them through conventional methodologies.  But Profit Increase Funding has ways available through our over 150 Funding Source Companies with Billions of dollars to invest that can provide your company with the ability to tap into cash based upon and derived from your own In-Ground-Assets before you sell them in a traditional manner. All it takes is for you to provide us with an Assay of your In-Ground-Assets (and some other minor documentation), which we will submit to one of our 150 Funding Source Companies. Then we will determine how much cash we can forward to your company by means of you putting up your In-Ground-Assets as collateral for the loan. The process is very simple and many times there are "No Upfront Fees".

     This applies to all kinds of minerals including oil or gas. We are a leader in the world in the acquisition of oil and gas royalties and many other kinds of minerals and overriding royalties. We will provide you with personalized focused attention to your specific needs and desires and do so with the highest quality and the utmost expedient efficiency. We will provide and prepare all of the necessary documentation and transfer deeds for you and then provide you with a non-binding offer that can lead to you obtaining a large lump sum of cash in exchange for the sale of your mineral rights. The mineral rights can be located anywhere in the world and we will purchase mineral interests that are producing or non-producing. Contact us NOW for a FREE EVALUATION AND QUOTE!

     We Purchase Mineral Rights: Profit Increase Funding purchases the share or percentage of earnings paid to a company (or someone) who has an ownership interest in Mineral Rights and we can and will purchase those Mineral Rights from you at a slightly discounted price and minus our small fee.

     This applies to all kinds of minerals including oil or gas. In fact, from time to time oil and gas companies may decide to sell their mineral rights because:

(1) oil production becomes too problematic
(2) an encroachment of salt water seeps into the wellbore-therefore cutting off the flow of oil or gas
(3) oil prices decrease to the point of being unprofitable
(4) leaks and mechanical failures cause unforseen problems
(5) because oil and gas production is a very volatile and unpredictable endeavor
(6) sometimes the production of oil or gas does not last as long as anticipated

If any of the preceding or other scenarios apply to your situation you can: (a) sell all of your mineral rights, (b) sell 3/4ths of your mineral rights, (c) sell 1/2 or less of your minerals rights or (d) sell 1/4th or less of your minerals rights.

Therefore, if you only want to sell a portion of your mineral rights and hold onto the rest of them while they begin or continue to produce the profits you expect, then you may do so. We are a leader in the world in the acquisition of oil and gas and gold royalties and many other kinds of minerals and overriding royalties. We will provide you with personalized focused attention to your specific needs and desires and do so with the highest quality and the utmost efficiency. We will provide and prepare all of the necessary documentation and transfer deeds for you and then provide you with a non-binding offer that can lead to you obtaining a large lump sum of cash in exchange for the sale of your mineral rights. The mineral rights can be located anywhere in the world and we will purchase mineral interests that are producing or non-producing. Contact us NOW for a Free Evaluation and Quote!

Alternative means of obtaining working capital.......

"Factoring"

Published 8/6/2004

“Factoring is an exciting financial procedure that promises to be one of the best short term solutions to any problems your business may have with capital. An honest and business-worthy venture, this procedure works best for companies that have clear profits on the horizon and need temporary funding to see the completion of contracted projects. Flexibility and effectiveness are the hallmarks of factoring and the reliability of this procedure in solving capital shortfalls has been proven to be impressive.

When to Use Factoring and Why: Say you've just scored a colossal deal with a new client. All that's required now is for you to provide the products or services up front, but your company is not geared to handle an order of this scale. There simply isn't enough capital. Time is an issue. Your client is waiting, and regular banks cannot process new loans or financing in time to meet deadlines. It's at this point where most factoring firms step in with an offer.

The main selling point factoring firms offer in order to entice business is speed and flexibility. Moving money through such a firm is much faster and more convenient than the typical loan or refinancing application process at the banks. It basically gives you the time you need to better fulfill clients’ needs and expectations, with much less hassle.”

"Taking The Fear Out of Factoring"

With more and more reputable companies entering the factoring business, services have greatly improved. But factors' bottom line use remains the same: providing ready funds for companies in cash-flow-challenged industries.

By: Martin Mayer

“Factoring now accounts for more than $1 trillion a year in credit; triple what it was in the early 1990s. When the economy slowed down these past two years, so did factoring (after all, with fewer invoices to buy, less money could be advanced by factors). But insiders report that as of last summer, there has been the beginning of a turnaround. Factors are not only putting out more money but are willing to take greater risks than a year ago.

What's more, in what looks to be the wave of the future, tech-savvy factors have created online lending services that allow a steady flow of small invoices (sometimes just a few dollars each) to be paid to a business owner almost immediately. The factor takes care of all the paperwork, while the company follows the progress via the Web. Everything is covered, from generating the invoice (in what can look to the customer very much like a credit card transaction) to cashing the check, to depositing the funds into the bank account of the company.

Wal-Mart, the world's biggest retailer, has created a new class of companies that need factoring because it also stretches out its payments. The vendors can't complain because Wal-Mart is such a huge source of business. From the factor's point of view, this is an ideal situation, because there is almost no risk of Wal-Mart never paying up. Yet banks usually won't extend a loan to small companies in this situation because they typically expect a whole lot more collateral to back up a loan than just a contract with Wal-Mart.

Today, factoring has become significant in the financing of many other businesses that depend on fast billing turnaround, such as hardware stores, pharmacies, florists, wine and liquor distributors, parking garages (for commercial accounts), garden supply shops, pest controllers, and temp agencies.”
