Developers of Big Cave Cay Luxury Resort Dispute Allegations of Saudi Prince

Cave Cay, LP

Cave Cay, LP, the development team behind a new luxury resort on the Bahamian island Big Cave Cay, strongly disputes the allegations made in recent legal filings by Saudi Prince Salman Bin Sultan Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. On January 20, 2023, Cave Cay, LP served a second notice of default on the prince for breaches of his legal and contractual obligations, in particular, his financial obligations to the limited partnership. The second notice of default is the subject of the proceedings in Delaware. Cave Cay, LP will vigorously defend the organization and the project against the allegations made in the filings and will file legal responses to the prince’s unfounded claims. The project’s investment and development timelines remain unchanged, as the default of one investor does not impact the long-term plans of the unique luxury development in the Bahamian Exuma islands.

UC Asset Will Cut Overhead To Increase Net Profit By $200K-300K

UC Asset LP

McapMediawire -- UC Asset LP (OTC: UCASU ) management announces that they will cut the company’s overhead by 30-40% for the year of 2023. This is projected to increase the company’s net profit by approximately $200,000 to $300,000. The company set its gross profit goal for the year of 2023 at $1 million. By the end of January, the company has sold a farmland and generated about $550,000 gross profit in cash. Therefore, it has achieved more than half of its annual gross profit goal in the very first month of the year. Now the management avows to reduce overhead cost, so that more of its gross profit will become net profit. Among other things, the company will considerably reduce the compensation paid to its management team, probably by 40%. “Even before the reduction, our management team only receive moderate amount of payment. Last year, management team received approximately $188,000 of compensation from the company,” says Greg Bankston, managing general partner of UC Asset, “This year, we will likely decrease the compensation to our management team by approximately $70,000.” “Our management team are committed to long term growth of our company. From the conception of UC Asset, our goal has been to build a portfolio of hundreds of million dollars,” asserts Larry Wu, founder of UC Asset. “We are not here working for instant paychecks. We are working for the long-term goal to build a company of greatness, and we are very confident that we will be compensated eventually for our success.” The reduction of overhead cost may add an extra net profit of $0.04 - $0.06 per share. According to its most recent annual report, the company posted net income of $0.13 per share for the year of 2021, which represented 400% growth over its $0.03 per share net income for the year of 2020. UC Asset had made cash dividend distribution twice in the past 5 years. Last year, it distributed $0.10 per share dividend to its shareholders.

Can a Cannabis Bridge Loan Cover the Gap Between Long-Term Financing?

Canna Business Resources

Financing a purchase or refinancing a loan can be difficult — especially if you don't have adequate credit history. But there are several options available that can make the process easier. One borrowing option is a bridge loan, which can cover the gap between your current financing and the long-term financing you are waiting for. Bridge loans differ from long-term loans in that they have shorter terms and a higher interest rate than long-term loans. They are only a temporary solution until you have obtained the long-term financing you need. This article will help you understand the ins and outs of getting a bridge loan, using it correctly and dealing with lender requirements. What Are Bridge Loans? A bridge loan is a specific type of short-term loan that is used to cover the gap between when you make your purchase or refinance your current mortgage and when you have a long-term financing option in place. This type of financing is often used by small-business owners who want to purchase real estate, equipment or other capital-intensive business needs but lack the necessary funds to do so. Several types of bridge loans are available to help you meet your financing needs while waiting for the long-term financing you are looking for. How Does a Bridge Loan Work? While a traditional mortgage can cover you for up to 30 years, depending on your income and other factors, a bridge loan is used only for a specific amount of time. You can usually apply for one right after you receive approval for your mortgage, and your lender can help you determine which type of bridge loan is right for you. Many types of bridge loans are available, and they vary in the amount you can borrow, interest rate, fees and other conditions. Each type of bridge loan has slightly different eligibility requirements you must meet to be approved. You will also need to provide the lender with certain information about yourself and your business. Your lender will need to know your personal and business credit score and the income and credit history of your business and its owners. It is important that you understand what you are getting into before you agree to the loan terms. Steps to Getting a Bridge Loan If you’re seeking a bridge loan, these are the steps you need to take to make sure you can get one. Step 1. Find a lender Just like when you are applying for a traditional mortgage, the first step in getting a bridge loan is finding a lender that will approve your application. Because bridge loans are less common than standard mortgages, you will have limited options when it comes to lenders. Some of the lenders that may be able to work with you include banks, mortgage brokers and other financial lenders. It is important to shop around and compare your options to find the one that best meets your needs. Step 2. Apply for a loan After you find a lender to work with, you will need to apply for a bridge loan by submitting the application and supporting materials requested by the lender. In most cases, you will be asked to submit the following documents: Completed loan application form Personal financials with assets and liabilities Proof of income and employment history W-2 forms and tax returns Copy of federal ID Credit report and credit score Income and asset information for the owners of the business being financed Most lenders will require at least three years of income tax returns for the applicant as well as proof of ownership for the property being financed. Additionally, most lenders will require you to provide personal financial statements documenting your assets and liabilities as well as your monthly income and expenses. Some lenders may also require an appraisal of the property being financed to determine the value of the property and whether it meets the minimum value requirements for a bridge loan. Step 3. Wait for a decision Once you have submitted the necessary documentation to your lender, it will usually take between one and two weeks for your application to be reviewed, but some lenders have fast financing options that can happen within days. This may not always be the case, however, as some lenders may take longer to provide you with a decision than others. Regardless, getting a decision for a bridge loan is generally always faster than getting approved for a long-term loan. Bridge Loan Example Say you are moving your dispensary to a new and improved brick-and-mortar location, but the property where your store is currently located is not yet for sale, sold or vacant. In this situation, you could take out a bridge loan to finance the purchase of the property until you are ready to sell it. You would use this loan to purchase the property until you are able to sell your current property and repay the bridge loan with the proceeds of the sale. This approach would allow you to take advantage of the low-interest rate associated with bridge loans while still giving you time to sell the property or find another financing option if you are not able to sell the property in a reasonable amount of time Considerations With Bridge Loans Reading a loan agreement carefully to make sure you understand everything before signing it is just as key as a traditional loan. Paying attention to bridge loan terms will help ensure that you do not default on the loan. If you fail to make payments on your loan, the lender will have the option to take the property back or pursue legal action against you to recover the debt. The lender will also have the right to seize your property if you become delinquent on your mortgage payments. To avoid any problems down the road, make sure you fully understand the terms of your loan before you agree to them. Do Costs Outweigh the Benefits? Bridge loans can be 2% of the total cost of the loan, on top of the thousands of dollars it can cost to get the loan and other fees. If you need the loan, but don’t have the cash flow to deal with excessive costs, the costs might outweigh the benefits for you. Can You Repay The Loan? A bridge loan is generally only taken out when you know a longer-term loan is on its way, that way the longer-term loan can pay back the bridge loan. If you can’t pay off your bridge loan you can lose the property or equipment you’re trying to buy. Is a Bridge Loan Right for Your Needs? Aside from bridge loans, plenty of other short-term loan options are available. Bridge loan alternatives include: Blanket loans Personal loans 80-10-10 loans Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) Bridge Your Financing Gap A bridge loan can get you where you need to get faster, but is a bridge loan the right thing for you? If the terms are correct for your situation, a bridge loan can get you out of a financial bind, but make sure you understand what you’re signing up for to create the perfect plan to get your business in the right place.

Cannabis Financing for Retail, Commercial and Industrial Businesses

Canna Business Resources

The growth, sale, and distribution of marijuana is a burgeoning industry, and many business owners are capitalizing on this opportunity. But if you want your business to expand, you’ll need an influx of working capital to help you hire new workers, develop new product lines, or make other investments. Unfortunately, cannabis financing isn’t as easy to come by as other types of business loans. If you’re a cannabis business owner, this guide can help you gain access to the financing you need for your business to flourish. How Do Cannabis Businesses Obtain Financing? The profits of your cannabis business can be reinvested into your company, helping you make adjustments to your business model as you grow. But to make large-scale changes, you’ll need business financing to cover the cost of commercial real estate, inventory, equipment, payroll, or other essential needs. Consider the following best practices to help secure the cannabis loans you need to fund your business. 1. Update Your Business Plan There’s a good chance you created a business plan when you first launched your company. But if you’re seeking new funds for your business, it may be time to revise and update that plan to reflect your new goals. For example, you might update your business plan to include: New product lines Changes in your leadership structure Revisions in your marketing strategy Specific funding needs Most cannabis lenders will want to evaluate your business plan before approving a loan. Having a revised business plan that reflects your future goals can demonstrate your strategy for the future and improve your chances of securing cannabis financing. 2. Find a Lender Who Offers Cannabis Financing Despite the growing acceptance of the cannabis industry, most traditional banks and lending institutions do not offer loans to cannabis business owners. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) does not offer loans to cannabis businesses either. The good news is that you can choose from non-traditional lending options. Most lenders will expect to see your business plan, as well as the financial records of existing businesses. They’ll also perform a thorough credit check to determine your eligibility for financing. Gathering your financial documents together prior to meeting with your lender can streamline the process. Even though cannabis lenders are hard to come by, comparing rates and terms from at least three lenders still makes sense to ensure you get the best possible deal. 3. Make a Plan to Repay the Loan Your business plan should already include some basic revenue projections, but you’ll also need to think about the future to ensure that you’ll be able to repay the loan in addition to any interest. It’s important to borrow only what you need; otherwise, you can find yourself saddled with an unmanageable amount of debt that can inflate your overhead costs and cripple your ability to expand. 4. Consider Alternative Funding Sources Cannabis lenders aren’t the only way to fund your business. As an entrepreneur, you might also consider funding sources such as: Crowdsourcing Social equity lending programs (reserved for disadvantaged entrepreneurs) Credit cards Building partnerships with angel investors These sources vary when it comes to effectiveness, but they might be a good way to supplement the business financing you receive through your lender. Advantages of Financing for Cannabis Businesses Every entrepreneur understands that it takes money to make money. Cannabis financing can provide the working capital you’ll need to maintain and grow your business. Here are just a few of the advantages of pursuing financing for your cannabis business. Fund New Needs Cannabis business owners will regularly be on the lookout for ways to expand their business and pursue new revenue streams. Cannabis loans give you the working capital to accomplish such goals as: Purchasing new inventory Updating existing equipment Obtaining new licenses Developing new vendor partnerships Hiring new employees Focusing on these priorities can help you refine your business strategy and carry your cannabis business into the next phase of its operations. Maintain Your Cash Flow Cash flow refers to the money that moves into — and out of — your business at any given time. A business loan improves your cash flow in the short term, giving you access to the money you’ll need to cover your ongoing expenses, such as payroll and taxes. Expand Your Business How do you plan to grow your business? Business loans can be used to make capital improvements, hire new employees or invest in research and development to take your business to the next level. The funds give you a chance at greater profits and keep your business thriving for years to come. Considerations with Cannabis Financing As a business owner, you’ll have to consider a few factors when you obtain a loan. Here are some of the most important things to keep in mind. Interest Rates Since cannabis loans can’t be obtained from a traditional lender, interest rates may not be as competitive as other lending options. This factor is why it’s important to compare interest rates between multiple lenders to secure the most affordable financing. Loan Types Business financing doesn’t always come in the form of a lump-sum loan. A business line of credit can give you access to funds up to a certain amount, which you can then pay off, much like a consumer credit card. This method can be a way to stay flexible if you’re unsure of your financial needs. Penalties and Fees Most lenders will charge a fee for late payments, but some will charge a fee if you attempt to pay your loan off before the expiration date. Others will charge an origination fee, which can drive up the final cost of the loan. Make sure to ask about these fees before you commit to a lender. Tap into a Growing Industry According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), cannabis business owners earned over $12 billion in revenue in 2019, a number expected to increase to $31.1 billion by 2024. Cannabis financing can help you gain traction in this lucrative industry and keep your company growing. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

UCASU jump-starts its plan of NASDAQ or NYSE up-listing in 2023

UC Asset LP

McapMediawire -- UC Asset LP (OTCQB: UCASU ) management announces that the company has jump-started its plan to up-list to a major exchange, probably NASDAQ or NYSE, after it had put on hold this plan for about six months. “Twelve months ago, we kicked off our campaign for an up-listing, and we had made solid progress toward this goal, before the dramatic change of macro-economy and stock market in general made it undesirable for us to continue the process,” explains Larry Wu, founder of UC Asset. “So we decided to freeze the plan by the end of July, 2022.” "Despite that there are still concerns about macro-economy, as well as about the stock market, we at UC Asset have been doing well, and we have decided not to let macro-economic factors to stop us from pursuing a faster growth,” exclaims Wu. Wu refers to the track record of the company, particularly the growth of its profit. According to its most recent annual report, the company posted net income of $0.13 per share for the year of 2021, which represented 400% growth over its $0.03 per share net income for the year of 2020. Looking forward, the management projects a $0.20 per share gross profit for the year of 2023. Last year, the company distributed a cash dividend of $0.10 per share to its common shareholders. Management has confirmed that it will make more dividend distribution in the future. Wu admits that the company is currently too small to justify an up-listing, as a major exchange listing will be more expensive, and will remarkably increase administration cost. Those extra cost will be difficult for a small company like UC Asset to absorb. “In order to have a meaningful uplisting, we need to increase the size of the company to at least $20 million, preferably over $30 million," says Wu. "Our management team has an established strategy to growth. We have identified deal pipelines with great potential, mostly of cannabis properties, for a potential portfolio expansion of $10 - $ 30 million. We have the right team to manage them. We are confident we are able to achieve the economy scale with additional capital," Wu shares. For this purpose, UC Asset plans to launch a SPO (secondary public offering) to raise $10 – 20 million. Wu indicates that it may also conduct a PIPE (private investment in public equity) raise prior to the SPO to raise $2 – 5 million. “All the fund-raising will not dilute the equity of current shareholders, as our bylaw expressly prohibits the company from issuing any stocks at a price lower than the company’s net equity per share,” asserts Wu. “Particularly, we will NEVER take any investments of toxic manner, such as convertible notes of variable conversion ratios.” "We have been very disciplined in issuing shares," continues Wu. " Our total issued and outstanding shares have actually decreased since our IPO, from over 5.6 million shares to less than 5.5 million shares. And last year we cancelled all our preferred units of a total number of 166,667 shares. In short, the supply of our shares is very limited, and we have adequate room to support our growth plan."
