A Working Capital Solution for Two Affiliated Companies
The Company
This deal consists of two affiliated companies, both based in California, that manufacture corrugated boxes and display panels. Both companies have been in business for over thirty years.
The Situation
These affiliated companies were purchased separately by a gentleman, experienced in the industry, at the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019. He financed the purchases with short term unsecured loans from family and friends. He then went to look for outside financing and took a small line of credit from a bank.
Having heard of Celtic Capital before, and our ability to creatively structure credit, the owner reached out to us for a larger line of credit. He needed more consistent working capital and he also wanted to pay back most of the purchase financing.
The Solution
We pulled together the accounts receivable from both companies and created a $750,000 Accounts Receivable Line of Credit that worked for both affiliates.
The Result
The unsecured debt has been repaid and our larger credit facility has provided the working capital this owner needed to make some necessary operational changes. The business is now well-positioned to meet its goals and is expected to be profitable soon.
