Business Oregon : Oregon Royalty Fund (ORF) : Oregon Royalty Fund (ORF) : State of Oregon Translate this site into other Languages tag, as divs are not allowed in 's --> Oregon Royalty Fund (ORF) Oregon Royalty Loan Program (ORL) The Oregon Royalty Loan Program (ORL) is an alternate financing solution for projects that are not yet bankable, but are more like angel or venture capital deals.
This program accommodates growing companies that do not yet qualify for traditional financing. The percentage of sales varies with each project, but will yield a 2X return from royalty payments over a three– to five–year period. Additional payments may be required in the event of sale of the company or change in ownership.
Once the 2X repayment has been achieved, royalty payments stop, and the company has satisfied its repayment obligation. Participants must create or retain jobs and must be a "traded sector business" (as defined in ORS 284. 550).
Loans may be available up to $1,000,000.
Each Royalty and Angel Loan request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, but in general the applicant will be required to have: Existing history of reoccurring sales; and Potential for rapid growth in sales; and History of significant gross profit margins or reasonable expectation of achieving a significant gross profit margins; and Collateral to secure the loan and or personal guarantees of founding owners with 20% or more ownership*; and The Borrower will be required to raise a 1:1 outside equity match.
* A lack of sufficient collateral or a lack of guarantor support may result in a higher return requirement to offset the higher risk associated with either not having sufficient collateral and or guarantor support.
