A Full-Service Advisory Firm
Buck Financial was formed in 2001, and has to date assisted with over $5.2 billion in charter school facility financings.
Buck Financial is headed by John Buck, its principal member. John has over 30 years of experience in finance and the capital markets, uniquely combining his background in commercial and investment banking to benefit clients
How Are We Different?
Buck Financial adds value by ensuring the financing meets your needs to flexibly operate in a changing marketplace. Often, the terms of a financing can impose unnecessary and inflexible terms which impact your ability to run your program. This is because many firms have only one financing source. Others simply act as “brokers”, putting borrowers in contact with one-source firms, but playing no valuable role in the transaction (though their fee would indicate otherwise). Buck Financial is different in that we have experience with, and access to, multiple financing options and we take a meaningful role in your transaction to ensure your needs are met.
Buck Financial is also different in that the bulk of our compensation is due only upon the completion of agreed-upon services. We avoid the type of compensation structure which has no relationship between performance and reward.
Finally, Buck Financial is different in that we have built a team of successful industry experts which can assist you no matter which type of financing is appropriate for your school.
