Rainstar Project Capital Overview

Rainstar Capital Group is a leading national debt advisory firm that since 2014 has provided over $1 Billion in financing to clients. The firm provides advisory debt capital through its multiple lending platforms with over 250 registered lenders for clients with commercial real estate, corporate finance, small business and equipment financing needs. Product lines include: Unsecured Lines of Credit, Revenue Based Lines of Credit, Revenue Based Advance, Merchant Cash Advance, Business Lines of Credit, Inventory Financing, Purchase Order Financing, Equipment Leasing, Accounts Receivables Factoring, CMBS loans, Agency loans, Bridge Financing, Hard Money and Commercial Contractor Credit Lines.

In January of 2022 Rainstar’s leadership team launched two new sister companies- Rainstar Development Capital and Rainstar Project Capital to compliment its existing debt advisory platform. Both firms have a significant amount of capital to deploy into good partnerships.

Rainstar Development Capital is a Direct Lender for the new construction housing sector. The firm is financing deals from $1M to $80M that are mixed-use, multifamily, subdivisions, and any sort of housing property type. RDC is backed by a $3B institution and they have mandated RDC to deploy $1B of capital into these deals. The product can go up to 90% Loan to Cost of the project which is a game-changer as most banks will only go up to 75% maybe 80% Loan to Cost.

Rainstar Project Capital is backed by a $250B private capital trust. RPC can finance any industry/project type worldwide for deals that are $25M to $10B+. The financing program is a line of credit product with rates in the 5%-7% range and 5-7 year terms. The firm is looking for large projects across media, alternative energy, commercial real estate, and technology where the borrowers have a track record, are of high character, and have a pipeline of strong deals.

Rainstar Project Capital Leadership

Understanding the Project Finance Space

For Developers, Companies and Project Sponsors the process of accessing large capital facilities to fund projects can seem daunting. Dealing with Family Offices, Banks, Venture Capital, Private Equity and Hedge Funds and their myriad of different products can at times be confusing. Along with that there are brokers, lenders and unfortunately scam lenders out there that charge up front fees and then never deliver credit facilities to the client wasting precious time and stealing hard earned dollars. Rainstar Project Capital’s leadership team is pleased to share with you that for Rainstar’s project financing solution:

1. Rainstar Capital Group/Rainstar Project Capital never charges up front fees and only is compensated upon the successful funding of our client’s transaction

2. The Private Capital Trust that provides the project financing never charges up front fees and is only compensated via the points it makes at closing and the interest on the line of credit.

3. The Private Capital Trust never charges the client any upfront costs for due diligence or third party fees. In fact the Private Capital Trust pays out of their pocket all third party costs for appraisals, due diligence, financial modeling, environmental reports, their legal costs, etc.

Thus, the only risk a client ever has is time invested in seeing if their project will qualify for the line of credit product. Rainstar Project Capital’s team will do its best to quickly say no if the transaction if not a fit in our underwrite and we will quickly say no if the Private Capital Trust’s investment committee comes back with a denial. Our goal is to never waste a client’s time as we understand that the client still needs a solution even if the deal is not a fit for our program.
