ColdDrinksC-storeAccording to the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), the number of convenience stores has grown from 71,400 stores in 1982 to 148,136 at the end of 2011. There is a convenience store for every 2,100 Americans. Over 62% of those stores are operated by a single-owner and more growth is projected in the years ahead.

As we exit the recession, learn why small business lenders who master this niche find it profitable, and scalable throughout their organization.

We will discuss how valuations are impacting loan demand as baby boomers are looking to sell and enjoy the fruits of their labors. We will examine supply and demand issues.

Join Coleman webinar instructor Charles Green for a presentation of up-to-the minute information you need to know about originating and underwriting loans to convenience stores, particularly those guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Specific attention will be paid to loan structure, equity requirements, collateral requirements, pricing and competitive concerns.

And what about those underground gasoline tanks? What should your strategy be in these instances?

You will learn:

  • How to evaluate convenience store ownership and traps to avoid for ineligible deals;
  • The differences between a ‘franchise’ and a ‘jobber’ store;
  • How to assess C-store value and whether the price is right;
  • Policy issues that will affect the future risk and rewards of these loans;
  • Environmental issues – learn how to not get ‘tanked’ on a deal;
  • C-store appraisals – learn where to look for value;
  • Best practices for underwriting c-store loans;
  • Ideas on developing guidance on c-stores in your credit policy;
  • Key steps to analyze the real operating cash flow;
  • What you must do for franchise c-store loans;
  • What you must do for SBA on c-store loans;
