Celtic Capital Wrapped Up a Great Deal for This Packaging & Materials Manufacturer
The Company
This Company is an Indiana-based manufacturer of packaging materials and supplies. The business was established twenty-seven years ago and is still run by the founder.
The Situation
In 2019, the Company’s CFO defrauded the Company causing a need to restate the financials. The new financials showed a bigger loss than expected which impacted bank covenants such that the bank asked the Company out.
The Solution
The Company brought in two business consultants to help get it back on track and to secure new financing. One of the consultants knew our local client development officer and asked Celtic Capital to subordinate the Company’s EIDL and provide a new credit facility.
We handled the EIDL subordination through the SBA’s Birmingham office (known for its difficult subordination process). We then provided a $1,300,000 Accounts Receivable Line of Credit to pay off the bank (which included paying off a small Term Loan) and for working capital.
The Result
In 2020, revenue was up, and losses were down. The Company projected better results this year and in fact, operational changes enacted by the business consultants have already made the Company profitable (as of first quarter).
