Investment Overview

iCredit Income Fund, LP


Private Credit Strategy in High Yield Small Business Loans
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

August 2015

Introduction
Our fund, iCredit Income LP is a specialty finance fund that purchases business loans
originated from business lending websites and crowd funding platforms.
There are over 65 web sites (Lending Sites) currently offering loans to small
businesses currently operating in North America today and more launching every
month.
The Lending Sites generally originate business loans in the amount ranging from
$50,000 to $450,000. The interest rates vary from 12% to 29%. With terms of 6
months to 36 months in duration. These loans pay daily, weekly and to a much lessor
extent monthly.
The Lending Sites originating loans have been using raised venture capital to fund
their loans. This type of capital is dilutive and very expensive to be used to fund loans.
They have started to sell a participation interests in their loans to investors and fund
and retain the collection and loan servicing.

Confidential

Opportunity

Our fund is in the business of buying loans or loan participation interests from the
Lending Sites to help them free up capital while the lender retains 10% to 25% of
their loans and maintaining their collection of the loans assets (Loans).

By acquiring the lenders Loans, it frees up capital for them to make additional loans
to their borrowers. While they still maintain their relationships with their borrowers.
iCredit Income Fund, LP will acquire the Loans and produce a yield for LP investors in
the range of 11% to 12%, payable monthly, allowing regular liquidity for investors
with a 35 day notice of LP redemption of units.

Our Strategy
We have vast experience in acquiring loan portfolios, structuring transactions, asset
securitizations, developing technology to perform due diligence and Master Servicing
loan assets. We have the technological and know how to acquire and purchase loans
while helping Lenders continue extraordinary growth.
Our loan acquisition program starts by working with the Lending Sites to structure flow
loan purchase agreements. We generally purchase a 85% interest in the loan allowing the
Lender to keep 15% and continue to collect the Loan. Our goal is to have the lenders 15%
interest be the first loss component in the event of default.
We have an interim servicing agreement with the Lender. In the event the Lender can no
longer collect the Loan we are in the position to take control of the loan collection and
serving the loans. We serve as the Master Servicer monitoring the real-time servicing and
collections.
As part of our loan acquisition process we perform due diligence on each individual loan
that contains no less than 220 data points. Review credit and run an additional credit
score. Review the legal documents and collateral value. Agree on the loans potential
default risk

The effect of Loan defaults on the return to investors

One of the most important is Credit Score of the borrower. The Credit score we use is
a Vantage 3.0 Credit Score which is more accurate than traditional FICO scores.
We have the ability to select the loans we purchase. Our criteria is based on our
proprietary methodology that reduces potential for defaults. We also have a
repurchase clause in our Purchase agreement that will put the loans back to a Lender
in the event of early default.
The Funds accounting policy for delinquent Loans is to aggressively write down
Loans as they become delinquent.

The Duration of the Opportunity

The banking industry has not been lending to small businesses since the financial
crisis of 2009. Many small businesses have been getting business credit from the Web
Lending Site that we buy our loans from.

We have no indication form the banking community that they wish to lend to small
business in the next 5 years. Especially, in the $50,ooo to $450,000 loan balance
market .

mortgage loans. Great Lakes Capital Partners, LLC was formed in July of 1998, and exclusively

In February 2004, GLCA sold substantially all of its assets to a California regional bank. After that sale,

emphasis on actively managing the non-performing business and mortgage loan assets in order to
complete liquidations and seek the highest, risk-adjusted returns.

loan assets.
In 2000, Mr. Luburich also founded and served as chairman of Great Lakes Loan Centers. The company
was a residential mortgage banker that originated mortgage loans from leads sourced almost
exclusively from the internet and website marketing. The company grew to originate over $30 million
a month in mortgage loans.
