Description: Agility Ventures Profile Agility Ventures has been providing equipment leasing and financing solutions to Broadband internet service providers (“ISP”s) and similar businesses located throughout the United States since 2004. Agility Ventures specializes in financing and consulting for the Broadband market. Founded by owners of successful Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) and equipment finance companies, Agility offers a compelling value proposition for manufacturers, distributors and users of wireless technology. Agility’s key differentiator in the market is that it manages a fund specifically created for the Broadband market rather than depending on traditional banks and institutional sources. Agility’s unique combination of offerings will enable Broadband operators to eliminate the capital constraints on growth, which are almost universally experienced in this market. By establishing a pre-approved line of credit for CPE and other equipment with Agility, operators will be able to add subscribers without being concerned about how to pay for the required additional equipment. Over the last seven years, Agility has built a client portfolio that includes several of the largest independent broadband network operators in the U.S. Along the way, it has built its reputation as a specialty lender who can understand the potential of startup and development-stage companies and create credit facilities that allow them to meet customer demand and grow quickly. We spend the time needed to get a deep understanding of our client’s business model and often help to refine their business plan so that it can support a credit facility for equipment and working capital funding. Although there is no “standard “, the majority of Agility’s transactions are structured as Master Lease Facilities ranging from $100,000 to $3,000,000 with individual lease schedules having three year payment terms. It allows draws to be made as frequently as once a month as long as the business performance is tracking to plan and there are no material adverse changes. It generally requires the first monthly payment in advance plus a security deposit of 5 to 10% of the draw amount. At the end of the lease schedule there is an option for the equipment / assets to be purchased or re-leased. In addition, there is usually warrant coverage based on the amount of the credit facility. If a client already has unpledged assets, Agility also offers a “sale / leaseback” in order for him to draw on the facility without purchasing new equipment when the facility is first opened.
