SPECIAL SITUATIONS · Capital guide

Refinance and Recapitalization

A refinance replaces debt; a recapitalization may also return capital, fund completion, resolve maturity, or introduce new senior or subordinate sources.

The short answer

Lenders distinguish a constructive reset from a request that simply moves an unresolved problem forward.

A cash-out request without a clear post-closing business plan can weaken an otherwise viable refinance.

What to have ready

  • Current loan statement

  • Operating or completion plan
  • New exit timeline
CTK-08 / Practical questions

Questions borrowers ask

Does this guarantee financing?

No. Financing remains subject to lender underwriting, borrower qualifications, sponsor experience, project feasibility, location, budget, permits, collateral, loan purpose, and applicable requirements.

Is this for owner-occupied projects?

No. Capital to Keys is designed for business-purpose, investment construction and development financing—not consumer-purpose residential mortgages.

What should I do next?

If the project is real and the core facts are available, complete the existing Capital to Keys questionnaire for an initial alignment review.
