MARKEMAKING ACOMEBACKA NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT TOM SALOMONE
Irsquom honored to continue what my predecessors startedin writing this column I look forward to sharing my
thoughts on our association the industry we supportand the members who collectively make NAR such astrong organization
Te theme of my presidency is ldquohellipAnd Ten Somerdquo o me it means going that extra milehellipfor our familiesour communities our associations our industry and theclients and customers we serve I am a big advocate forgetting involved at the local state and national levelsParticipation by commercial real estate professionalslike yourself helps shape development in your market
and in1047298uence NARrsquos position in the industry I alsoencourage you to stay vigilant and aware of real estateissues NARrsquos advocacy is focused on as we move into2016 particularly Like Kind 1031 Exchanges theMarketplace Fairness Act and Waters of the US
All members commercial and residential alike bringtremendous value to NAR Your work leads to new job creation and businesses that build communitiesfurthering the economic health of this great nation
NAR aims to help you in all your ventures and wants toserve as a partner in your success I believe we have someof the best resources available to us as NAR membersndashincluding technology data and research Wersquoll betterserve our clients by using these tools and informationto guide decision making
As we all know the commercial and residential reaestate markets are intrinsically tied together New
construction occurring often means new businessopenings and new jobs strengthening the overalllocal economy and community It seems the marketis improving across the country although there arestill pockets struggling In the state of Florida whereI practice we are still encountering short sales andforeclosures but overall I see the market improvingslowly o me the most positive sign in the marketright now is the ramp up of new home starts and newconstruction
Recent NAR survey data shows lenders are returningto the commercial market ransactions are up due toan improving employment picture and an easing ofcredit requirements Forty-two percent of commercialpractitioner respondents in our most recent surveysay theyrsquore seeing credit easing while only 20 percentsaid theyrsquore seeing stricter conditions Tese responsesdiffer greatly from the past few years when virtually allrespondents reported greater diffi culties in obtainingcredit Tatrsquos an encouraging sign
We are one in our association and your involvementis crucial for our continued success and the continuedsuccess of the entire real estate industry Tank you forbeing a member of NAR Tank you for doing all thatrsquosexpected of youhellip And Te Some

Advocacy where you can access a brief of all NARcommercial issues as well as in-depth summariesNow letrsquos take a look at whatrsquos been happening withSBA lending and Reg A+
Small Business LendingSmall businesses and REALORSreg go hand-in-hand According to NARrsquos 2015 Commercial Lendingrends report the typical size of a commercial dealfor NAR members is $16 million indicating thatthey frequently work with clients who need small-
to mid-size spaces REALORSreg are experts in theircommunities able to pair their clients with the typeof spacendash whether industrial offi ce or retail ndash that fitstheir needs
Financing in the commercial real estate market isimproving but remains tight small businesses oftenfind getting financing more diffi cult than larger
ones due to intensive underwriting processes thatmay rely on personal credit scores as an indicator ocreditworthiness Tatrsquos where the Small Business
Administration comes in with loan programs to meeta variety of needs Te SBA does not provide the fundsbut instead guarantees a portion of the lenderrsquos loan with a total lending volume in 2015 of over $22 billionfor 7(a) loans and over $4 billion for CDC504 loans

One program which began rolling out in the fall SBAOne streamlines the loan-application process bringingmany of the documents online and utilizing electronicsignatures saving banks time money and paper whenprocessing applications Additionally the SBA createdLINC (Leveraging Information and Networks to accessCapital) a program that matches entrepreneurs andlenders through an online questionnaire to generatereferrals for lenders and accessibility for borrowers
CrowdfundingRegulation A+Te SEC continues to move forward with its JOBS Act rulemaking designed to increase capital-raisingopportunities for small businesses Tis is the lawthat regulates crowdfunding the practice of fundinga project or venture by raising many small amountsof money from a large number of people typically viathe Internet Crowdfunding is a form of alternativelending that may become a new source of capital tocommercial real estate One of the big crowdfunding
milestones in 2015 was the passage of itle IV of the JOBS Act known as Regulation A+ It took effect June19 designed to make it easier for small businesses toraise capital by removing many regulatory compliancehurdles that had been in place Te new rules allowcompanies to raise up to $50 million under Regulation A which is a less-complicated route in terms ofcompliance and administration (the previous limit was$5 million) Tis new rule
mdash Exempts companies using Regulation A from
registration with state securities administrations
mdash Establishes two tiers of fundraising underRegulation A
bull ier 1 up $20 million in a 12-month period with not more than $6 million in offers by sellingsecurity-holders that are affi liates of the issuer
bull ier 2 $20-$50 million - for offerings ofsecurities of up to $50 million in a 12-monthperiod with not more than $15 million in offersby selling security-holders that are affi liates of theissue Tese funding efforts are also subject toongoing review
Meanwhile observers are waiting to see how the newlaw will be used Te new compliance requirements
are slowly becoming understood by participants andcrowdfunding platforms are adjusting their models tobe in line with the new regulation
itle III of the JOBS Act will go into effect January 292016 which will enable crowdfunding for ventures upto $1 million and allows unaccredited investors toparticipate in crowdfunding Many observers feel thisis lsquotrue crowdfundingrsquo because it opens investmentsto a significant population of investors throughthe unaccredited investor definition which caps
investor income or net worth at $100000 itle IIIalso articulates what regulatory compliance will exisfor crowdfunding platforms and the companies thatconduct a capital raise through a platform Fundingportals will be required to register with FINRA andthe SEC and will be subject to ongoing reporting

Letrsquos call that player ldquothe bossrdquo ogether the boss and the
commercial real estate professional work through all theoptions in the property market building understandingbetween them so that the offers and choices made best fitthe goals of the business But what happens when there isno boss
Your arget Client Tink Outside Te Boss
What if the commercial property professional facesthe workers who undertake management decisionsdemocratically and who collectively and co-operatively ownthe business
Itrsquos tempting -- and convenient -- to imagine a businessrsquosviability is defined by the skill of a small group of itsmanagers making all of its choices or its real estate goals arebest defined by a single executive Pragmatically speakingthis traditional view and structure of business ownershipand management is not the only one available
In an economy as strong and diverse as the US alternativebusiness models based on co-operative principles do thriveSuccessful firms operating under ldquolabor managementrdquoknown as worker co-ops number in the hundreds today
Tese are only one facet of the wider co-operative picture
wo Common ypes of For-Profit Co-OperativeEnterprises
Worker Owned and controlled by worker-owners
Retailer A business-to-business pooling of buying ormarketing power Commonly used in franchise businessmodels
How Big can Worker Co-Ops Get
Te largest worker-owned and managed co-op in the worldMondragon Corporation in northeastern Spain has over74000 employees and revenues over 11 billion Euros Teyhave divisions in industry retail finance and informationservices Tere are over 300 worker co-ops and thousandsof cooperative enterprises in the US For example the USFederation of Worker Cooperatives has 3500 employeesnationally and $400M in annual revenues
How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can ServeCo-Ops
Te central challenges that co-operatively structuredbusinesses face when contemplating relocation oracquisition of new property are similar to those traditionalbusinesses face together with their brokers propertymanagers or landlords Contacts for financing communityknowledge market experience and deal making acumen areall in demand by co-operative clientele
Flexibility is also in high demand ldquoOne thing thatrsquos inbig need is rent-to-ownrdquo says Amy Johnson co-ExecutiveDirector of the US Federation of Worker Co-OperativesldquoBecause worker co-ops have a much better track recordof survival past five years than the average business -- thatco-op isnrsquot going to outsource jobs or leave the community-- longer term leases and owner financing can be veryattractive to our member businessesrdquo

FINDING THE REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITYby Rob Warmowski Contributing Writer
When a business seeks a new permanent location itrsquos common that a relationship
is formed that puts a commercial real estate professional together with an owner

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business

CrowdfundingRegulation A+Te SEC continues to move forward with its JOBS Act rulemaking designed to increase capital-raisingopportunities for small businesses Tis is the lawthat regulates crowdfunding the practice of fundinga project or venture by raising many small amountsof money from a large number of people typically viathe Internet Crowdfunding is a form of alternativelending that may become a new source of capital tocommercial real estate One of the big crowdfunding
milestones in 2015 was the passage of itle IV of the JOBS Act known as Regulation A+ It took effect June19 designed to make it easier for small businesses toraise capital by removing many regulatory compliancehurdles that had been in place Te new rules allowcompanies to raise up to $50 million under Regulation A which is a less-complicated route in terms ofcompliance and administration (the previous limit was$5 million) Tis new rule
mdash Exempts companies using Regulation A from
registration with state securities administrations
mdash Establishes two tiers of fundraising underRegulation A
bull ier 1 up $20 million in a 12-month period with not more than $6 million in offers by sellingsecurity-holders that are affi liates of the issuer
bull ier 2 $20-$50 million - for offerings ofsecurities of up to $50 million in a 12-monthperiod with not more than $15 million in offersby selling security-holders that are affi liates of theissue Tese funding efforts are also subject toongoing review
Meanwhile observers are waiting to see how the newlaw will be used Te new compliance requirements
are slowly becoming understood by participants andcrowdfunding platforms are adjusting their models tobe in line with the new regulation
itle III of the JOBS Act will go into effect January 292016 which will enable crowdfunding for ventures upto $1 million and allows unaccredited investors toparticipate in crowdfunding Many observers feel thisis lsquotrue crowdfundingrsquo because it opens investmentsto a significant population of investors throughthe unaccredited investor definition which caps
investor income or net worth at $100000 itle IIIalso articulates what regulatory compliance will exisfor crowdfunding platforms and the companies thatconduct a capital raise through a platform Fundingportals will be required to register with FINRA andthe SEC and will be subject to ongoing reporting

Tese are only one facet of the wider co-operative picture
wo Common ypes of For-Profit Co-OperativeEnterprises
Worker Owned and controlled by worker-owners
Retailer A business-to-business pooling of buying ormarketing power Commonly used in franchise businessmodels
How Big can Worker Co-Ops Get
Te largest worker-owned and managed co-op in the worldMondragon Corporation in northeastern Spain has over74000 employees and revenues over 11 billion Euros Teyhave divisions in industry retail finance and informationservices Tere are over 300 worker co-ops and thousandsof cooperative enterprises in the US For example the USFederation of Worker Cooperatives has 3500 employeesnationally and $400M in annual revenues
How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can ServeCo-Ops
Te central challenges that co-operatively structuredbusinesses face when contemplating relocation oracquisition of new property are similar to those traditionalbusinesses face together with their brokers propertymanagers or landlords Contacts for financing communityknowledge market experience and deal making acumen areall in demand by co-operative clientele
Flexibility is also in high demand ldquoOne thing thatrsquos inbig need is rent-to-ownrdquo says Amy Johnson co-ExecutiveDirector of the US Federation of Worker Co-OperativesldquoBecause worker co-ops have a much better track recordof survival past five years than the average business -- thatco-op isnrsquot going to outsource jobs or leave the community-- longer term leases and owner financing can be veryattractive to our member businessesrdquo

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business

MARKEMAKING ACOMEBACKA NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT TOM SALOMONE
Irsquom honored to continue what my predecessors startedin writing this column I look forward to sharing my
thoughts on our association the industry we supportand the members who collectively make NAR such astrong organization
Te theme of my presidency is ldquohellipAnd Ten Somerdquo o me it means going that extra milehellipfor our familiesour communities our associations our industry and theclients and customers we serve I am a big advocate forgetting involved at the local state and national levelsParticipation by commercial real estate professionalslike yourself helps shape development in your market
and in1047298uence NARrsquos position in the industry I alsoencourage you to stay vigilant and aware of real estateissues NARrsquos advocacy is focused on as we move into2016 particularly Like Kind 1031 Exchanges theMarketplace Fairness Act and Waters of the US
All members commercial and residential alike bringtremendous value to NAR Your work leads to new job creation and businesses that build communitiesfurthering the economic health of this great nation
NAR aims to help you in all your ventures and wants toserve as a partner in your success I believe we have someof the best resources available to us as NAR membersndashincluding technology data and research Wersquoll betterserve our clients by using these tools and informationto guide decision making
As we all know the commercial and residential reaestate markets are intrinsically tied together New
construction occurring often means new businessopenings and new jobs strengthening the overalllocal economy and community It seems the marketis improving across the country although there arestill pockets struggling In the state of Florida whereI practice we are still encountering short sales andforeclosures but overall I see the market improvingslowly o me the most positive sign in the marketright now is the ramp up of new home starts and newconstruction
Recent NAR survey data shows lenders are returningto the commercial market ransactions are up due toan improving employment picture and an easing ofcredit requirements Forty-two percent of commercialpractitioner respondents in our most recent surveysay theyrsquore seeing credit easing while only 20 percentsaid theyrsquore seeing stricter conditions Tese responsesdiffer greatly from the past few years when virtually allrespondents reported greater diffi culties in obtainingcredit Tatrsquos an encouraging sign
We are one in our association and your involvementis crucial for our continued success and the continuedsuccess of the entire real estate industry Tank you forbeing a member of NAR Tank you for doing all thatrsquosexpected of youhellip And Te Some

Advocacy where you can access a brief of all NARcommercial issues as well as in-depth summariesNow letrsquos take a look at whatrsquos been happening withSBA lending and Reg A+
Small Business LendingSmall businesses and REALORSreg go hand-in-hand According to NARrsquos 2015 Commercial Lendingrends report the typical size of a commercial dealfor NAR members is $16 million indicating thatthey frequently work with clients who need small-
to mid-size spaces REALORSreg are experts in theircommunities able to pair their clients with the typeof spacendash whether industrial offi ce or retail ndash that fitstheir needs
Financing in the commercial real estate market isimproving but remains tight small businesses oftenfind getting financing more diffi cult than larger
ones due to intensive underwriting processes thatmay rely on personal credit scores as an indicator ocreditworthiness Tatrsquos where the Small Business
Administration comes in with loan programs to meeta variety of needs Te SBA does not provide the fundsbut instead guarantees a portion of the lenderrsquos loan with a total lending volume in 2015 of over $22 billionfor 7(a) loans and over $4 billion for CDC504 loans
General Small Business 7(a) loans (the most common)help creditworthy small businesses get financing whenthey otherwise cannot obtain credit at reasonable termsIt is a 1047298exible program that can be used to finance avariety of business purposes including improvements

One program which began rolling out in the fall SBAOne streamlines the loan-application process bringingmany of the documents online and utilizing electronicsignatures saving banks time money and paper whenprocessing applications Additionally the SBA createdLINC (Leveraging Information and Networks to accessCapital) a program that matches entrepreneurs andlenders through an online questionnaire to generatereferrals for lenders and accessibility for borrowers
CrowdfundingRegulation A+Te SEC continues to move forward with its JOBS Act rulemaking designed to increase capital-raisingopportunities for small businesses Tis is the lawthat regulates crowdfunding the practice of fundinga project or venture by raising many small amountsof money from a large number of people typically viathe Internet Crowdfunding is a form of alternativelending that may become a new source of capital tocommercial real estate One of the big crowdfunding
milestones in 2015 was the passage of itle IV of the JOBS Act known as Regulation A+ It took effect June19 designed to make it easier for small businesses toraise capital by removing many regulatory compliancehurdles that had been in place Te new rules allowcompanies to raise up to $50 million under Regulation A which is a less-complicated route in terms ofcompliance and administration (the previous limit was$5 million) Tis new rule
mdash Exempts companies using Regulation A from
registration with state securities administrations
mdash Establishes two tiers of fundraising underRegulation A
bull ier 1 up $20 million in a 12-month period with not more than $6 million in offers by sellingsecurity-holders that are affi liates of the issuer
bull ier 2 $20-$50 million - for offerings ofsecurities of up to $50 million in a 12-monthperiod with not more than $15 million in offersby selling security-holders that are affi liates of theissue Tese funding efforts are also subject toongoing review
Meanwhile observers are waiting to see how the newlaw will be used Te new compliance requirements
are slowly becoming understood by participants andcrowdfunding platforms are adjusting their models tobe in line with the new regulation
itle III of the JOBS Act will go into effect January 292016 which will enable crowdfunding for ventures upto $1 million and allows unaccredited investors toparticipate in crowdfunding Many observers feel thisis lsquotrue crowdfundingrsquo because it opens investmentsto a significant population of investors throughthe unaccredited investor definition which caps
investor income or net worth at $100000 itle IIIalso articulates what regulatory compliance will exisfor crowdfunding platforms and the companies thatconduct a capital raise through a platform Fundingportals will be required to register with FINRA andthe SEC and will be subject to ongoing reporting

Letrsquos call that player ldquothe bossrdquo ogether the boss and the
commercial real estate professional work through all theoptions in the property market building understandingbetween them so that the offers and choices made best fitthe goals of the business But what happens when there isno boss
Your arget Client Tink Outside Te Boss
What if the commercial property professional facesthe workers who undertake management decisionsdemocratically and who collectively and co-operatively ownthe business
Itrsquos tempting -- and convenient -- to imagine a businessrsquosviability is defined by the skill of a small group of itsmanagers making all of its choices or its real estate goals arebest defined by a single executive Pragmatically speakingthis traditional view and structure of business ownershipand management is not the only one available
In an economy as strong and diverse as the US alternativebusiness models based on co-operative principles do thriveSuccessful firms operating under ldquolabor managementrdquoknown as worker co-ops number in the hundreds today
Tese are only one facet of the wider co-operative picture
wo Common ypes of For-Profit Co-OperativeEnterprises
Worker Owned and controlled by worker-owners
Retailer A business-to-business pooling of buying ormarketing power Commonly used in franchise businessmodels
How Big can Worker Co-Ops Get
Te largest worker-owned and managed co-op in the worldMondragon Corporation in northeastern Spain has over74000 employees and revenues over 11 billion Euros Teyhave divisions in industry retail finance and informationservices Tere are over 300 worker co-ops and thousandsof cooperative enterprises in the US For example the USFederation of Worker Cooperatives has 3500 employeesnationally and $400M in annual revenues
How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can ServeCo-Ops
Te central challenges that co-operatively structuredbusinesses face when contemplating relocation oracquisition of new property are similar to those traditionalbusinesses face together with their brokers propertymanagers or landlords Contacts for financing communityknowledge market experience and deal making acumen areall in demand by co-operative clientele
Flexibility is also in high demand ldquoOne thing thatrsquos inbig need is rent-to-ownrdquo says Amy Johnson co-ExecutiveDirector of the US Federation of Worker Co-OperativesldquoBecause worker co-ops have a much better track recordof survival past five years than the average business -- thatco-op isnrsquot going to outsource jobs or leave the community-- longer term leases and owner financing can be veryattractive to our member businessesrdquo

FINDING THE REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITYby Rob Warmowski Contributing Writer
When a business seeks a new permanent location itrsquos common that a relationship

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business

CrowdfundingRegulation A+Te SEC continues to move forward with its JOBS Act rulemaking designed to increase capital-raisingopportunities for small businesses Tis is the lawthat regulates crowdfunding the practice of fundinga project or venture by raising many small amountsof money from a large number of people typically viathe Internet Crowdfunding is a form of alternativelending that may become a new source of capital tocommercial real estate One of the big crowdfunding
milestones in 2015 was the passage of itle IV of the JOBS Act known as Regulation A+ It took effect June19 designed to make it easier for small businesses toraise capital by removing many regulatory compliancehurdles that had been in place Te new rules allowcompanies to raise up to $50 million under Regulation A which is a less-complicated route in terms ofcompliance and administration (the previous limit was$5 million) Tis new rule
mdash Exempts companies using Regulation A from
registration with state securities administrations
mdash Establishes two tiers of fundraising underRegulation A
bull ier 1 up $20 million in a 12-month period with not more than $6 million in offers by sellingsecurity-holders that are affi liates of the issuer
bull ier 2 $20-$50 million - for offerings ofsecurities of up to $50 million in a 12-monthperiod with not more than $15 million in offersby selling security-holders that are affi liates of theissue Tese funding efforts are also subject toongoing review
Meanwhile observers are waiting to see how the newlaw will be used Te new compliance requirements
are slowly becoming understood by participants andcrowdfunding platforms are adjusting their models tobe in line with the new regulation
itle III of the JOBS Act will go into effect January 292016 which will enable crowdfunding for ventures upto $1 million and allows unaccredited investors toparticipate in crowdfunding Many observers feel thisis lsquotrue crowdfundingrsquo because it opens investmentsto a significant population of investors throughthe unaccredited investor definition which caps
investor income or net worth at $100000 itle IIIalso articulates what regulatory compliance will exisfor crowdfunding platforms and the companies thatconduct a capital raise through a platform Fundingportals will be required to register with FINRA andthe SEC and will be subject to ongoing reporting

Letrsquos call that player ldquothe bossrdquo ogether the boss and the
commercial real estate professional work through all theoptions in the property market building understandingbetween them so that the offers and choices made best fitthe goals of the business But what happens when there isno boss
Your arget Client Tink Outside Te Boss
What if the commercial property professional facesthe workers who undertake management decisionsdemocratically and who collectively and co-operatively ownthe business
Itrsquos tempting -- and convenient -- to imagine a businessrsquosviability is defined by the skill of a small group of itsmanagers making all of its choices or its real estate goals arebest defined by a single executive Pragmatically speakingthis traditional view and structure of business ownershipand management is not the only one available
In an economy as strong and diverse as the US alternativebusiness models based on co-operative principles do thriveSuccessful firms operating under ldquolabor managementrdquoknown as worker co-ops number in the hundreds today
Tese are only one facet of the wider co-operative picture
wo Common ypes of For-Profit Co-OperativeEnterprises
Worker Owned and controlled by worker-owners
Retailer A business-to-business pooling of buying ormarketing power Commonly used in franchise businessmodels
How Big can Worker Co-Ops Get
Te largest worker-owned and managed co-op in the worldMondragon Corporation in northeastern Spain has over74000 employees and revenues over 11 billion Euros Teyhave divisions in industry retail finance and informationservices Tere are over 300 worker co-ops and thousandsof cooperative enterprises in the US For example the USFederation of Worker Cooperatives has 3500 employeesnationally and $400M in annual revenues
How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can ServeCo-Ops
Te central challenges that co-operatively structuredbusinesses face when contemplating relocation oracquisition of new property are similar to those traditionalbusinesses face together with their brokers propertymanagers or landlords Contacts for financing communityknowledge market experience and deal making acumen areall in demand by co-operative clientele
Flexibility is also in high demand ldquoOne thing thatrsquos inbig need is rent-to-ownrdquo says Amy Johnson co-ExecutiveDirector of the US Federation of Worker Co-OperativesldquoBecause worker co-ops have a much better track recordof survival past five years than the average business -- thatco-op isnrsquot going to outsource jobs or leave the community-- longer term leases and owner financing can be veryattractive to our member businessesrdquo

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business

CrowdfundingRegulation A+Te SEC continues to move forward with its JOBS Act rulemaking designed to increase capital-raisingopportunities for small businesses Tis is the lawthat regulates crowdfunding the practice of fundinga project or venture by raising many small amountsof money from a large number of people typically viathe Internet Crowdfunding is a form of alternativelending that may become a new source of capital tocommercial real estate One of the big crowdfunding
milestones in 2015 was the passage of itle IV of the JOBS Act known as Regulation A+ It took effect June19 designed to make it easier for small businesses toraise capital by removing many regulatory compliancehurdles that had been in place Te new rules allowcompanies to raise up to $50 million under Regulation A which is a less-complicated route in terms ofcompliance and administration (the previous limit was$5 million) Tis new rule
mdash Exempts companies using Regulation A from
registration with state securities administrations
mdash Establishes two tiers of fundraising underRegulation A
bull ier 1 up $20 million in a 12-month period with not more than $6 million in offers by sellingsecurity-holders that are affi liates of the issuer
bull ier 2 $20-$50 million - for offerings ofsecurities of up to $50 million in a 12-monthperiod with not more than $15 million in offersby selling security-holders that are affi liates of theissue Tese funding efforts are also subject toongoing review
Meanwhile observers are waiting to see how the newlaw will be used Te new compliance requirements
are slowly becoming understood by participants andcrowdfunding platforms are adjusting their models tobe in line with the new regulation
itle III of the JOBS Act will go into effect January 292016 which will enable crowdfunding for ventures upto $1 million and allows unaccredited investors toparticipate in crowdfunding Many observers feel thisis lsquotrue crowdfundingrsquo because it opens investmentsto a significant population of investors throughthe unaccredited investor definition which caps
investor income or net worth at $100000 itle IIIalso articulates what regulatory compliance will exisfor crowdfunding platforms and the companies thatconduct a capital raise through a platform Fundingportals will be required to register with FINRA andthe SEC and will be subject to ongoing reporting

How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can ServeCo-Ops
Te central challenges that co-operatively structuredbusinesses face when contemplating relocation oracquisition of new property are similar to those traditionalbusinesses face together with their brokers propertymanagers or landlords Contacts for financing communityknowledge market experience and deal making acumen areall in demand by co-operative clientele
Flexibility is also in high demand ldquoOne thing thatrsquos inbig need is rent-to-ownrdquo says Amy Johnson co-ExecutiveDirector of the US Federation of Worker Co-OperativesldquoBecause worker co-ops have a much better track recordof survival past five years than the average business -- thatco-op isnrsquot going to outsource jobs or leave the community-- longer term leases and owner financing can be veryattractive to our member businessesrdquo

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business

INDUSTRY
Letrsquos call that player ldquothe bossrdquo ogether the boss and the
commercial real estate professional work through all theoptions in the property market building understandingbetween them so that the offers and choices made best fitthe goals of the business But what happens when there isno boss
Your arget Client Tink Outside Te Boss
What if the commercial property professional facesthe workers who undertake management decisionsdemocratically and who collectively and co-operatively ownthe business
Itrsquos tempting -- and convenient -- to imagine a businessrsquosviability is defined by the skill of a small group of itsmanagers making all of its choices or its real estate goals arebest defined by a single executive Pragmatically speakingthis traditional view and structure of business ownershipand management is not the only one available
In an economy as strong and diverse as the US alternativebusiness models based on co-operative principles do thriveSuccessful firms operating under ldquolabor managementrdquoknown as worker co-ops number in the hundreds today
Tese are only one facet of the wider co-operative picture
wo Common ypes of For-Profit Co-OperativeEnterprises
Worker Owned and controlled by worker-owners
Retailer A business-to-business pooling of buying ormarketing power Commonly used in franchise businessmodels
How Big can Worker Co-Ops Get
Te largest worker-owned and managed co-op in the worldMondragon Corporation in northeastern Spain has over74000 employees and revenues over 11 billion Euros Teyhave divisions in industry retail finance and informationservices Tere are over 300 worker co-ops and thousandsof cooperative enterprises in the US For example the USFederation of Worker Cooperatives has 3500 employeesnationally and $400M in annual revenues
How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can ServeCo-Ops
Te central challenges that co-operatively structuredbusinesses face when contemplating relocation oracquisition of new property are similar to those traditionalbusinesses face together with their brokers propertymanagers or landlords Contacts for financing communityknowledge market experience and deal making acumen areall in demand by co-operative clientele
Flexibility is also in high demand ldquoOne thing thatrsquos inbig need is rent-to-ownrdquo says Amy Johnson co-ExecutiveDirector of the US Federation of Worker Co-OperativesldquoBecause worker co-ops have a much better track recordof survival past five years than the average business -- thatco-op isnrsquot going to outsource jobs or leave the community-- longer term leases and owner financing can be veryattractive to our member businessesrdquo

FINDING THE REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITYby Rob Warmowski Contributing Writer
When a business seeks a new permanent location itrsquos common that a relationship

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business

INDUSTRY
Letrsquos call that player ldquothe bossrdquo ogether the boss and the
commercial real estate professional work through all theoptions in the property market building understandingbetween them so that the offers and choices made best fitthe goals of the business But what happens when there isno boss
Your arget Client Tink Outside Te Boss
What if the commercial property professional facesthe workers who undertake management decisionsdemocratically and who collectively and co-operatively ownthe business
Itrsquos tempting -- and convenient -- to imagine a businessrsquosviability is defined by the skill of a small group of itsmanagers making all of its choices or its real estate goals arebest defined by a single executive Pragmatically speakingthis traditional view and structure of business ownershipand management is not the only one available
In an economy as strong and diverse as the US alternativebusiness models based on co-operative principles do thriveSuccessful firms operating under ldquolabor managementrdquoknown as worker co-ops number in the hundreds today
Tese are only one facet of the wider co-operative picture
wo Common ypes of For-Profit Co-OperativeEnterprises
Worker Owned and controlled by worker-owners
Retailer A business-to-business pooling of buying ormarketing power Commonly used in franchise businessmodels
How Big can Worker Co-Ops Get
Te largest worker-owned and managed co-op in the worldMondragon Corporation in northeastern Spain has over74000 employees and revenues over 11 billion Euros Teyhave divisions in industry retail finance and informationservices Tere are over 300 worker co-ops and thousandsof cooperative enterprises in the US For example the USFederation of Worker Cooperatives has 3500 employeesnationally and $400M in annual revenues
How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can ServeCo-Ops
Te central challenges that co-operatively structuredbusinesses face when contemplating relocation oracquisition of new property are similar to those traditionalbusinesses face together with their brokers propertymanagers or landlords Contacts for financing communityknowledge market experience and deal making acumen areall in demand by co-operative clientele
Flexibility is also in high demand ldquoOne thing thatrsquos inbig need is rent-to-ownrdquo says Amy Johnson co-ExecutiveDirector of the US Federation of Worker Co-OperativesldquoBecause worker co-ops have a much better track recordof survival past five years than the average business -- thatco-op isnrsquot going to outsource jobs or leave the community-- longer term leases and owner financing can be veryattractive to our member businessesrdquo

FINDING THE REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITYby Rob Warmowski Contributing Writer
When a business seeks a new permanent location itrsquos common that a relationship
is formed that puts a commercial real estate professional together with an owner

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business

INDUSTRY
Letrsquos call that player ldquothe bossrdquo ogether the boss and the
commercial real estate professional work through all theoptions in the property market building understandingbetween them so that the offers and choices made best fitthe goals of the business But what happens when there isno boss
Your arget Client Tink Outside Te Boss
What if the commercial property professional facesthe workers who undertake management decisionsdemocratically and who collectively and co-operatively ownthe business
Itrsquos tempting -- and convenient -- to imagine a businessrsquosviability is defined by the skill of a small group of itsmanagers making all of its choices or its real estate goals arebest defined by a single executive Pragmatically speakingthis traditional view and structure of business ownershipand management is not the only one available
In an economy as strong and diverse as the US alternativebusiness models based on co-operative principles do thriveSuccessful firms operating under ldquolabor managementrdquoknown as worker co-ops number in the hundreds today
Tese are only one facet of the wider co-operative picture
wo Common ypes of For-Profit Co-OperativeEnterprises
Worker Owned and controlled by worker-owners
Retailer A business-to-business pooling of buying ormarketing power Commonly used in franchise businessmodels
How Big can Worker Co-Ops Get
Te largest worker-owned and managed co-op in the worldMondragon Corporation in northeastern Spain has over74000 employees and revenues over 11 billion Euros Teyhave divisions in industry retail finance and informationservices Tere are over 300 worker co-ops and thousandsof cooperative enterprises in the US For example the USFederation of Worker Cooperatives has 3500 employeesnationally and $400M in annual revenues
How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can ServeCo-Ops
Te central challenges that co-operatively structuredbusinesses face when contemplating relocation oracquisition of new property are similar to those traditionalbusinesses face together with their brokers propertymanagers or landlords Contacts for financing communityknowledge market experience and deal making acumen areall in demand by co-operative clientele
Flexibility is also in high demand ldquoOne thing thatrsquos inbig need is rent-to-ownrdquo says Amy Johnson co-ExecutiveDirector of the US Federation of Worker Co-OperativesldquoBecause worker co-ops have a much better track recordof survival past five years than the average business -- thatco-op isnrsquot going to outsource jobs or leave the community-- longer term leases and owner financing can be veryattractive to our member businessesrdquo

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business

Letrsquos call that player ldquothe bossrdquo ogether the boss and the
commercial real estate professional work through all theoptions in the property market building understandingbetween them so that the offers and choices made best fitthe goals of the business But what happens when there isno boss
Your arget Client Tink Outside Te Boss
What if the commercial property professional facesthe workers who undertake management decisionsdemocratically and who collectively and co-operatively ownthe business
Itrsquos tempting -- and convenient -- to imagine a businessrsquosviability is defined by the skill of a small group of itsmanagers making all of its choices or its real estate goals arebest defined by a single executive Pragmatically speakingthis traditional view and structure of business ownershipand management is not the only one available
In an economy as strong and diverse as the US alternativebusiness models based on co-operative principles do thriveSuccessful firms operating under ldquolabor managementrdquoknown as worker co-ops number in the hundreds today
Tese are only one facet of the wider co-operative picture
wo Common ypes of For-Profit Co-OperativeEnterprises
Worker Owned and controlled by worker-owners
Retailer A business-to-business pooling of buying ormarketing power Commonly used in franchise businessmodels
How Big can Worker Co-Ops Get
Te largest worker-owned and managed co-op in the worldMondragon Corporation in northeastern Spain has over74000 employees and revenues over 11 billion Euros Teyhave divisions in industry retail finance and informationservices Tere are over 300 worker co-ops and thousandsof cooperative enterprises in the US For example the USFederation of Worker Cooperatives has 3500 employeesnationally and $400M in annual revenues
How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can ServeCo-Ops
Te central challenges that co-operatively structuredbusinesses face when contemplating relocation oracquisition of new property are similar to those traditionalbusinesses face together with their brokers propertymanagers or landlords Contacts for financing communityknowledge market experience and deal making acumen areall in demand by co-operative clientele
Flexibility is also in high demand ldquoOne thing thatrsquos inbig need is rent-to-ownrdquo says Amy Johnson co-ExecutiveDirector of the US Federation of Worker Co-OperativesldquoBecause worker co-ops have a much better track recordof survival past five years than the average business -- thatco-op isnrsquot going to outsource jobs or leave the community-- longer term leases and owner financing can be veryattractive to our member businessesrdquo

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business

INDUSTRY
Letrsquos call that player ldquothe bossrdquo ogether the boss and the
commercial real estate professional work through all theoptions in the property market building understandingbetween them so that the offers and choices made best fitthe goals of the business But what happens when there isno boss
Your arget Client Tink Outside Te Boss
What if the commercial property professional facesthe workers who undertake management decisionsdemocratically and who collectively and co-operatively ownthe business
Itrsquos tempting -- and convenient -- to imagine a businessrsquosviability is defined by the skill of a small group of itsmanagers making all of its choices or its real estate goals arebest defined by a single executive Pragmatically speakingthis traditional view and structure of business ownershipand management is not the only one available
In an economy as strong and diverse as the US alternativebusiness models based on co-operative principles do thriveSuccessful firms operating under ldquolabor managementrdquoknown as worker co-ops number in the hundreds today
Tese are only one facet of the wider co-operative picture
wo Common ypes of For-Profit Co-OperativeEnterprises
Worker Owned and controlled by worker-owners
Retailer A business-to-business pooling of buying ormarketing power Commonly used in franchise businessmodels
How Big can Worker Co-Ops Get
Te largest worker-owned and managed co-op in the worldMondragon Corporation in northeastern Spain has over74000 employees and revenues over 11 billion Euros Teyhave divisions in industry retail finance and informationservices Tere are over 300 worker co-ops and thousandsof cooperative enterprises in the US For example the USFederation of Worker Cooperatives has 3500 employeesnationally and $400M in annual revenues
How the Commercial Real Estate Industry Can ServeCo-Ops
Te central challenges that co-operatively structuredbusinesses face when contemplating relocation oracquisition of new property are similar to those traditionalbusinesses face together with their brokers propertymanagers or landlords Contacts for financing communityknowledge market experience and deal making acumen areall in demand by co-operative clientele
Flexibility is also in high demand ldquoOne thing thatrsquos inbig need is rent-to-ownrdquo says Amy Johnson co-ExecutiveDirector of the US Federation of Worker Co-OperativesldquoBecause worker co-ops have a much better track recordof survival past five years than the average business -- thatco-op isnrsquot going to outsource jobs or leave the community-- longer term leases and owner financing can be veryattractive to our member businessesrdquo

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business

by labor-managed businesses can be a special challengeExplaining the co-operative structure to a traditional lendercan be tricky Property professionals would benefit fromlearning about the ecosystem of investment and creditsources available for co-operative businesses starting withCommunity Development Financial Institutions (CDFI)
A designation by the US reasury Department CDFIsreceive equity capital from the CFDI Fund through a rangeof programs geared toward community development ACDFI might be organized as a community developmentbank loan fund credit union or venture capital fund
Already well-versed in the vocabulary and culture of workerco-ops CDFIs can be invaluable partners in getting aproperty deal done when your client is a co-operativeventure As of 2013 there are 808 certified CDFIs including
96 banks or thrifts plus over fifty depository institutionholding companies
CDFIs with special histories in the co-operative businesslending space include those found at Community Wealthorg(source httpcommunity-wealthorgstrategiespanelcdfis modelshtml)
SBA Recognition Opens Doors
Te Small Business Administration has long served as ago-to for loan guarantees for conventional businesses andthe financing of real estate under its 7(a) and 504 loanprograms Until the passage of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act SBA recognition of worker co-ops as viable businesses was practically non-existent With the Actrsquos passage came anew era adding a traditional capital source to the toolboxin funding expansions and relocations of co-operativeoperations of all types o learn more about SBArsquos lendingto co-operative business through CDFI entities reach outto your SBA District Offi ce(httpswwwsbagovtoolslocal-assistancedistrictoffi ces)
Financing Opportunities Already in the Ecosystem
Any commercial real estate professional working with a worker co-op on a property purchase might shy away fromthe uphill battle that can come with involving traditionallenders -- the explanations and the business-cultural gapsthat need to be navigated can prove diffi cult
It should be noted even in the universe of loan fundscreated especially to provide capital to worker co-ops thereare financing opportunities left unused on the table Loan
funds intended for worker co-ops have reported unusedfunds in their loan pools
Te Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF) a CDFIbased in Brookline MA supports co-ops and communityenterprises with investment According to Newell Lessell
former Director of LEAFrsquos parent organization ICA asrecently as 2012 ldquoLEAF [has been] underutilized We donrsquotget many applications from worker co-ops and many othose that do apply are not creditworthyrdquo
Creditworthiness in the co-operative financing spaceremains a matter for the lender to settle and the health andsuccessful history of the business will speak volumes just a we expect it to in structured businesses seeking financing What a commercial property professional working with a worker co-op can do to help is to learn about the capita
sources in the co-operative space by becoming familiar with CDFIs Tis will make adding value to an expansionor relocation of a co-op much easier while at the sametime enabling a more direct commitment to economicdevelopment that is more resilient
Worker co-ops that need funding for real estate may beable to find it if they have sound business plans and meetother common loan criteria And on that level this ldquoradicalalternativerdquo business structure doesnrsquot look very radical atall It just looks like business
