Concord Financial Advisors secured a $2.5 million of senior secured credit facilities for a woodworking millwork firm.

A high end woodworking millwork firm was seeking to obtain financing to purchase the assets of the company from its senior lender. The company had been negatively impacted by a fire and fraud by a former partner and was experiencing tight liquidity. An experienced executive coach and turnaround advisor was brought in to assist the company. He put together a transaction to purchase the assets of the company and raised $1.2 million of equity to partially finance the transaction. The company retained Concord as its exclusive financial advisor to arrange the debt financing portion of the transaction and identify a bank that understood the company’s business and objectives.

Concord quickly identified the most appropriate senior lenders for the company and prepared a detailed memorandum summarizing the key aspects of the company, coupled with setting up a data room with all pertinent information for select lenders. Concord conducted a targeted and efficient deal process with regional and national asset-based lenders along with a host of real estate lenders. Concord procured multiple competitive proposals for the transaction. The company was able to achieve its objective of obtaining an attractive financing structure with a regional bank that can support its senior debt needs including a revolver, a term loan and a real estate mortgage. The company’s owner and management team were impressed with Concord’s proven process, the resulting financing structure, and the attractive economics of the transaction.
