Bankers Capital Corporation Information

Bankers Capital Corporation was originally established in 1990 to provide commercial mortgage banking services to individual investors and small-to-medium corporate borrowers. Initially, Bankers Capital sought clients through licensed real estate brokers, developers and contractors. Recently, banks became an additional source of new clients for Bankers Capital Corporation, as lenders wanted to assist their own customers but borrowing requests did not meet the newer, tougher underwriting regulations. With extensive experience in three publicly-traded financial institutions, numerous board positions including an SBA Small Business Investment Corporation (SBIC) and as a founding board member of an SBA Certified Development Company (CDC), Douglas Batson, President of Bankers Capital, is keenly aware of the challenges of small business. His corporate background enabled him to structure Bankers Capital Corporation as a flexible "community company" bringing in talented, skilled individuals on a per-project basis. The elimination of daily cash flow pressure allowed Bankers Capital Corporation to survive periodic downward economic cycles over the last twenty-five years. Clients know Mr. Batson is accessible and will be personally involved in every financial transaction. As a Texas Licensed Real Estate Broker, Mr. Batson and Bankers Capital Corporation have represented numerous individual and corporate clients in the quiet acquisition and sale of properties. Bankers Capital Corporation understands its role in sensitive and confidential financial matters. The client's financial information belongs to the client and is disseminated-with permission-only to parties central to the lending, contracting, or resolution process. Helping others achieve their dreams has always been part of the operating philosophy of Bankers Capital Corporation. This commitment has led the company to undertake loan work typically bypassed by other lenders. Montessori schools, medical clinics, rock quarries, horse farms, and other non-conforming types of loans have historically been a part of the Bankers Capital Corporation scope. Taking time to understand client need and then structuring a client-specific, succinct loan request and presentation is a skill that comes only through substantial and wide-ranging lending experience. Reviving older underwriting and lending skills in HUD Multi-Family loans, HUD Nursing-Assisted Living Facilities and developing new skills in SBA real estate lending programs has broadened the customer base for the company. To expedite the delivery of loans under the SBA 504 program, Doug assisted in the formation of a new Certified Development Company. A CDC is the SBA required, corporate entity that delivers government financing to the borrower. The current economic times have focused Bankers Capital and developers towards HUD and SBA projects. The work of Bankers Capital Corporation does not end with creation of the loan structure, as the loan must then be placed with a lender that will support the credit and the borrower for the long term. This process means Bankers Capital Corporation invests much more time into a loan request than its competition. Success is derived from personal attention and service that bring people, projects and money together.
