TORONTO, CANADA — GTFSolutions, a trusted provider of private financial instruments and structured funding solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its Permanent Take-Out Financing Program. This powerful tool assists brokers and agents in assisting clients in transitioning from short-term or bridge loans to long-term debt solutions.
In today’s volatile lending environment, many projects stall after construction or initial development due to a lack of exit financing. GTFS aims to solve this critical gap by helping financial professionals secure permanent, long-term debt refinancing solutions, backed by institutional funding sources and enhanced by credit instruments such as Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCS), Bank Guarantees (BGS), and Conditional Approval Letters.
What Is Permanent Take-Out Financing?
Permanent Take-Out Financing is a long-term loan that replaces short-term or interim financing, such as bridge loans or construction debt. Typically used after project completion or stabilization, take-out financing allows borrowers to:
- Lock in lower interest rates
- Extend repayment terms (10–30 years)
- Exit high-cost short-term facilities
- Unlock additional equity for expansion
- Increase project value through stabilized capitalization
This type of financing is critical for commercial real estate, infrastructure, energy development, industrial facilities, and other capital-intensive projects.
GTFS: Partnering with Brokers to Close the Loop
“Most brokers can secure short-term construction or bridge capital for their clients, but when transitioning into long-term take-out financing, they often hit a wall,” said Willard Dunne, Head of Operations at GTFSolutions. “We’re here to fill that void — and help brokers look like heroes in the process.”
GTFS provides brokers with structured support for permanent financing by coordinating with international banks, private lenders, and institutional funds. This allows for tailored loan products that suit a wide range of sectors, including:
- Commercial real estate and mixed-use developments
- Renewable energy and power plant projects
- Port, airport, and transportation infrastructure
- Healthcare and educational facilities
- Hotel and resort construction
- Large-scale residential projects
Case Study: From Bridge Loan to $35 Million Take-Out Facility
In early 2025, a broker representing a property development firm in British Columbia approached GTFS. Their client had completed a $28 million residential tower using a short-term construction facility but could not refinance due to the bank’s tightening credit terms.
GTFS reviewed the project, verified revenue streams, and arranged a $35 million take-out facility from a European institutional lender, using a 12-month SBLC as credit enhancement. This allowed the client to pay off the high-interest bridge loan, free up $3.5 million in equity, and begin a second development phase.
“The take-out financing from GTFS was a game-changer,” said the broker. “It gave our client breathing room — and gave us credibility with the lender and the investor group.”
