I do not see a problem with the bank. They are doing EXACTLY as the administration wants. They are killing the economy one loan at a time. ALL the recent actions of zero have this goal.

So get a gas fired boiler then go out of business? If your profit margin is that fragile, you should probably think about starting a different business. So, what type of business is this? |

Most businesses of domestic manufacture will be fragile if HR 2454 passes. Every business will be mandated to purchase large amounts of an artificial commodity that the government at any given time: -determines price ceilings -determines price floors -determines supply -has complete regulatory control over Don't bother reading the bill. Be like most Americans and assume Congress would never do something so foolish and everything will always be peachy. Fat and happy syndrome.

Too bad about the wood pellet thing. A guy here is starting a pellet production operation soon. IIRC his target is 265 tons a year. Cap & tax may be a bitch for him. And his employees. |

Quoted: I'm looking to start a new family business. The plan I gave to the bank made sense. I had a list of customers for the products and its something they will continue use. We had half the funds ready and were seeking the other half from the bank(s). To make a long story short, they said its too risky to loan me money for the venture because of cap and trade and the healthcare bill! The reason they were having fits is my process gets heat from a wood fired boiler with modern pollution controls. I got turned down for refinance by a bank this week. The loan officer was helped as much as he could, but ultimately it got turned down. He said that in certain industries even with a golden loan asking for 50% and showing earnings of 3 times the amount will have trouble getting through. Now of course this certain bank had a default on the exact business I am in during the recent past. So that was a factor in them being cold on the idea. However, I think you are going to see a lot of coldness in the banking industry at least through the short term. |

12 ton per hour wood pellet operation, running 6 days per week with sales to Italy, Germany and US markets. About $3 million to open it up and run it. The family already owns the land.
Now its just a shell corporation, blue prints and bid spec's for equipment that will never be made. Also , we were going to sell wood pellet stoves and do local deliveries by bag and bulk. 20 to 25 jobs that will never happen......Merry Christmas, |

even though trees are a renewable resource and gas isn't and the only "pollution" from wood is CO2 which is used by other trees to grow |

The cap and trade thing is a very scary thing to US manufacturing. One of our clients just invested millions of dollars to scrub one of their processes and it may not be enough. With the economic downturn the funding to cleanup everything is not there as there is low product demand.
At this point, if cap and trade passes and the economy flounders further if they are in business still it will be cheaper to buy Chinese made product, ship it hear, and slap their label on it. That means US plants go bye-bye. |

Bank loan committees make dumb decisions alot of times anyway. I know a guy who wanted to refinance his home loan to a cheaper rate. He had paid his old note on time each month, for the 5 or 6 years since he bought his home. If he could refinance, he would save $200 a month. The committee denied it because they said he and his wife did not make enough money to pay $900 a month, even though they have been paying $1100 a month, on time, for the last 5 or 6 years!
 There are some dumb motherfuckers making decisions that affect our lives every day.

a few years ago I applied for a Mickey mouse car loan at my cu just to have some current activity on my credit report. I had plenty of cash on hand and a credit score of 833. The loan officer told me that my credit score was meaningless and I was a risk. But if I wanted to pay twice the going rate, he would submit it to the loan committee
At the same time, 5 foot away, one of mexico's finest was completing a loan for 5.5% |

If your business needs money, the banks will not loan it to you. On the other hand if your business is doing fine, is well capitalized and needs no borrowed funds, they will be begging you to take their loans. Just another example of today's bizarro world.
