Swift Capital Launches New Website with Merchant Cash Advance Rates

March 19th, 2012

WILMINGTON, Del., Mar 09, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
Merchant Cash Advances have been gaining in popularity as banks continue
to remain cautious on lending
to small businesses, as recently reported in the Wall Street
Journal. However, a common complaint about many merchant cash advance
providers is not only the high rates they charge, but the complete lack
of transparency in pricing and terms. Typically, small business owners
are required to send in completed applications, credit card and business
checking account statements before any terms are conveyed to the
applicant. This is by design, as it offers funding providers an
opportunity to size the business up and determine how price sensitive
they are before selling the business owner on the value of the money,
while trying to downplay the high cost of capital.

Swift Capital, one of the leading providers of working capital to small
businesses has now changed the game. In response to increased requests
from small business owners, Swift Capital announced today that effective
immediately they have made their rates available on the home page of
their website. “Not only are our rates
half that of other merchant cash advance providers, but we are the first
to place them front and center on our website,” said Ed Harycki, founder
and CEO of Swift Capital. “In the same way that you can shop for
mortgage or credit card rates, Swift Capital has now published its
market leading cash advance rates so that businesses can shop for the
best price for funding,” continued Harycki. Swift Capital has also
included an instant prequalification tab on its website, so business
owners can quickly determine whether they qualify, prior to requiring
any documentation. Swift Capital has now set the bar for other business
funding providers so that small businesses know exactly where they stand
when seeking access to capital. Harycki also noted that, “small
businesses need to evaluate merchant cash advance providers carefully,
as many charge a variety of fees and require personal guarantees, while
charging significantly more for capital.” Swift Capital views this
transparency as an important step forward for the merchant cash advance
industry, as it is approaching $1 billion in annual funding, which
should entice many more businesses to explore the benefits of this type
of business funding.

Swift Capital provides working capital through its merchant cash advance
products at significantly lower pricing than established providers. Merchant
cash advances are designed for the unique needs of small businesses
that accept credit cards, and are typically used by restaurants, retail
stores, hotels and other service providers. A merchant cash advance is
an exchange of upfront cash provided to a business in return for the
right to receive an agreed upon percentage of future credit and debit
card sales. Advances range from $5,000 to $200,000, and can generally be
used for any business purpose. “This type of funding product provides a
lot of flexibility to small businesses, as repayment is aligned with the
day-to-day business revenue, and does not burden the small business
owner like traditional loans with fixed monthly payments,” continued Mr.
Harycki. Swift also provides a business cash advance product for small
businesses that don’t accept credit cards.

About Swift Capital

Swift
Capital is one of the nation’s leading providers of working capital
solutions to small businesses. Since 2007, Swift Capital has provided
over $250 million in working capital through lines of credit and
merchant cash advances to over 10,000 businesses in all 50 states. Swift
Capital promotes fair and transparent pricing, fast decisions and
funding, and there are no collateral or personal guarantee requirements.

access to business funding. To learn more about Swift Capital’s business

Custodian says Pa. capital will skip debt payments

March 15th, 2012

HARRISBURG, Pa. — With money for its payroll growing short, the state-appointed financial custodian of the troubled Pennsylvania capital said Friday that Harrisburg will not make looming installment payments of nearly $5.3 million on two series of general obligation bonds, which would be the citys first default on its debt.

The custodian, David Unkovic, said in a statement that the city is skipping the payments to ensure there will be enough money to maintain essential services, such as police and fire, in the Susquehanna River city of 50,000.

The problems the city faces did not develop overnight and I am working hard to address these problems while maintaining the core functions of Harrisburgs city government, Unkovic said. This action will enable the city to continue operating and providing services while taking important steps to recover fiscal stability.

The payments are due Thursday. The bonds are covered by insurer Ambac Assurance Corp, and a missed payment could mean steep interest costs. Ambac spokesman Michael Fitzgerald said that the New York-based company will pay valid claims on general account policies, which includes Harrisburg.

City officials have warned twice in the last two years about missing such bond payments, only to make 11th-hour arrangements to pay. But this is the first time under state control that Harrisburg is issuing such a warning.

Its a much more deliberate default, said Matt Fabian, managing director of the Concord, Mass.-based municipal bond research firm Municipal Market Advisors.

A decision to skip the bond payment typically draws close scrutiny from the nations municipal bond investors and money managers, since municipalities have historically taken great pains to make timely payments on bonds for civic projects such as roads.

However, Fabian said Harrisburgs default shouldnt have a big impact on investors, in light of Harrisburgs series of defaults on debts tied to a massive municipal trash incinerator. But the warning comes at a time when two California cities, Stockton and Mammoth Lake, are having financial difficulties and it could raise the concerns of institutional investors, Fabian said.

The amplification of this problem from an incinerator problem to a government operating problem could accelerate that (concern) and make people generally jumpier about credit, Fabian said.

Harrisburgs approximately $300 million incinerator debt prompted an unsuccessful attempt by city officials to seek federal bankruptcy protection and spurred the states unprecedented takeover late last year.

Wand Capital Corporation Completes Capital Pool Company Initial Public Offering

March 14th, 2012

TORONTO, March 9, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ –
Wand Capital Corporation (the
“Corporation”), a capital pool company, is pleased to announce that it
has completed its initial public offering by issuing 4,000,000 common
shares at a price of $0.10 per common share, for gross proceeds to the
Corporation of $400,000 (the “Offering”).

The common shares of the Corporation are expected to commence trading on
the TSX Venture Exchange shortly under the trading symbol of “WNC”,
subject to final listing approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Corporation to
identify and evaluate assets or businesses for acquisition with a view
to completing a “Qualifying Transaction” under the capital pool company
program of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Corporation currently intends
to pursue a Qualifying Transaction through the acquisition of real
property and the reorganization into a real estate investment trust by
way of a plan of arrangement.

Dundee Securities Ltd. (the “Agent”) acted as agent for the Offering.
In connection with the Offering, the Agent received an aggregate
commission equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the sale of
the common shares.
