Free Agent Financing

Case Study

01

Sure Sports received a request from an NFL Player’s Wealth Manager for financing options to assist the player in purchasing a new home.

02

The former second-round pick was not only entering free agency, but he had tied up the majority of his assets in investments, creating a lack of liquidity.

03

The player was looking to finance the down payment on a $5M property in a short window of opportunity.

01

Sure Sports approved a short-term $2M loan to fund the down payment and complete the transaction, lending against the player’s Future Market Value.

01

Traditional banks were not able to provide the player with funds for his down payment due to their inability to recognize the athlete’s contract as an asset on his balance sheet.

02

Not only was Sure Sports able to recognize his NFL contract as an asset on his balance sheet, but we were also able to include his Future Market Value to ensure the loan amount was sufficient to serve his immediate need.
