The Hedaya Capital Group recently provided a $1 million factoring facility to an Ontario-based importer of decorative pillows and throw blankets, positioning the company to accelerate growth and expand its presence across the U.S. retail market.
After self-funding the business through its startup phase, increased traction in U.S. markets brought the company to an inflection point where additional working capital was needed to support larger customer orders and continued expansion.
A previous Hedaya Capital client introduced the founder to Lou Barone, senior advisor of The Hedaya Capital Group, to explore leveraging business assets and financing solutions. Following a streamlined due diligence process, Barone and his team structured and closed a $1 million factoring facility in less than two weeks to support the company’s next stage of growth.
“With a strong U.S. customer base and experienced management team, this was a highly attractive opportunity for us,” Barone said. “We were particularly impressed that the company was profitable from its inception, primarily due to a lean expense structure and high-quality receivables. We believe the company is exceptionally well-positioned for a strong growth trajectory.”
The new facility will enable the company to increase inventory purchases, support larger order volumes from existing customers and pursue new opportunities with additional U.S. discount and mass-market retailers. Management projects U.S. revenue will reach approximately $5 million in 2026 as the company continues to expand its footprint in the home décor sector.
“This facility provides the flexibility and working capital we need to meet growing customer demand and execute on our expansion plans,” the company’s founder said. “Hedaya Capital moved quickly, understood our business model and delivered a financing solution that supports our long-term growth objectives.”
