Access to debt capital is TUHF’s single largest constraint to growth
By a long margin
Importance of scale Low volume, high value, low margin
High levels of security
Able to manage liquidity and cash flow – term of lending shortening
Direct access to the capital markets
Perceptions of lenders Inner cities and low income housing
Independent NBFI in mortgage (commercial property finance)?
Distinction between micro finance, home loans and mortgage
Will rating be a more clinical assessment?
Borrowed covenants Particularly a problem when dealing with foreign DFI’s
One size fits all – the five definitions of a business day syndrome
