Things to consider when doing a bridge loan.
A creditor must determine in each case if the transaction is primarily for an exempt purpose. If some question exists as to the primary purpose for a credit extension, the creditor is, of course, free to make the disclosures, and the fact that disclosures are made under such circumstances is not controlling on the question of whether the transaction was exempt.FACTORS. In determining whether credit to finance an acquisition—such as securities, antiques, or art—is primarily for business or commercial purposes (as opposed to a consumer purpose), the following factors should be considered:
GENERAL.
1.The relationship of the borrower's primary occupation to the acquisition. The more closely related, the more likely it is to be business purpose.
2.The degree to which the borrower will personally manage the acquisition. The more personal involvement there is, the more likely it is to be business purpose.
3.The ratio of income from the acquisition to the total income of the borrower. The higher the ratio, the more likely it is to be business purpose.
4.The size of the transaction. The larger the transaction, the more likely it is to be business purpose.
5.The borrower's statement of purpose for the loan.
