The loan proceeds will be used towards the borrower’s restaurant

Marquee Funding Group is proud to announce the successful funding of a $550,000 private money loan secured by a property in Rancho Mirage, California. This deal exemplifies Marquee’s continued commitment to helping business owners access fast, flexible, and purpose-driven financing through creative private lending solutions.

The loan was structured as a 1st trust deed with a 39.28% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio — a conservative structure that provides excellent security for investors while ensuring the borrower gains access to much-needed capital. The note carries an interest rate of 11.5%, reflecting a strong, risk-balanced investment with a steady return.

The proceeds from this loan will be used to support the borrower’s restaurant business, specifically providing working capital and reserves. These funds will help strengthen day-to-day operations and ensure the restaurant’s long-term financial health. Traditional bank financing can often be slow or restrictive for small business owners — particularly those in the hospitality industry. Marquee Funding Group stepped in to provide an efficient and practical funding solution tailored to the borrower’s business objectives.

This transaction was originated by Maxwell Stone, whose expertise and client-centered approach helped structure a deal that met the borrower’s immediate financial needs while maintaining Marquee’s disciplined underwriting standards. His work reflects Marquee’s ability to evaluate complex financial situations quickly and close loans that make sense for both borrowers and investors.

With this Rancho Mirage deal, Marquee Funding Group once again demonstrates the value of private money lending as a bridge between traditional banking and real-world business financing needs. By focusing on equity, speed, and common-sense underwriting, Marquee continues to empower borrowers and investors alike — delivering funding solutions that are both strategic and secure.
