Home Equity Lending to Small-Business Owners Up Since 2021

November 14, 2022


National Mortgage News

Alternative financing startup Hometap is one of a growing number of fintechs that is helping small business owners stay afloat in the face of recent demanding times with a lending product that allows them to utilize the tappable equity in their properties.

Hometap’s financing solution allows business owner mortgage holders to leverage their home equity in exchange for a percentage of the property’s future value, and in contrast to HELOCs or small-business loans, no interest or monthly payments are due for the first ten years.

“It goes without saying that the past two years have been incredibly difficult for everyone, and business owners have demonstrated incredible strength and resilience in the face of countless challenges,” said Jonathan MacKinnon, vice president of product strategy and business development at Hometap.

The Hometap family of companies utilizes Hometap Equity Partners, LLC and Hometap Homeownership Solutions, LLC to provide Hometap Home Equity Investments (HEI or HEIs). Each entity has the ability to enter into a HEI directly with the consumer:

Hometap Equity Partners, LLC dba Hometap. NMLS ID# 2467867 361 Newbury St, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02115 NMLS Consumer Access

A Hometap HEI has a ten (10) year term, during which no monthly or recurring payments are required. Hometap records a lien against the property, in the form of a mortgage or deed of trust, to secure its interest. You may choose to settle the Investment at any time during the term without incurring any penalties by exercising an Owner Repurchase. If you do not settle the HEI by the expiration of the term, your Hometap HEI provider may exercise its right to acquire a percent ownership interest in the property and then work with you to sell the property. You may contact either Hometap entity at hello@hometap.com (for prospective or current applicants) or homeowners@hometap.com (for homeowners with an active HEI) for more information. Eligibility criteria are subject to change. For current criteria, please contact your Hometap HEI provider at (855) 223-3144 or visit www.hometap.com/faqs
