Monroe Credit Advisors placed $27.1 million in senior credit facilities on behalf of Viva5. Monroe Credit Advisors was Viva5’s exclusive financial advisor and placement agent and ran an expedited debt placement process that resulted in an optimized debt capital solution for the company. Proceeds from the financing were used to facilitate a partner buyout, refinance existing indebtedness and provide growth capital for future acquisitions.
Based in St. Petersburg, FL, Viva5 is a health and wellness platform specializing in innovation and ecommerce focused on the vitamin, mineral and supplement category.
“We are very pleased with the opportunity to work with Viva5’s talented management team and that we delivered a timely, well-structured and cost-effective debt solution in support of ownership’s strategic goals and objectives,” Brent Krambeck, managing partner of Monroe Credit Advisors, said. “It is a great credit to everyone involved in working efficiently through all the transaction dynamics during the evolving COVID-19 situation.
