Rosenthal Capital Group (RCG), a private commercial finance firm in the United States, completed three separate deals totaling $5 million in the beauty, food & beverage and furniture sectors.
A direct-to-consumer beauty brand was seeking financing to support exponential growth after securing a one-year exclusive launch deal with a national retailer. At the eleventh hour, the retailer added more doors to the initial order, straining the company’s liquidity, which had already been impacted by a need to start purchasing components for another upcoming collection. The company had previously been using expensive MCAs to solve their working capital challenges. Given RCG’s expertise in the beauty space, comfort with the customer concentration risk and the founder’s industry knowledge, RCG provided a $1 million flexible A/R factoring facility to pay off the high-rate loan.
A 35-year-old heritage furniture brand had been utilizing bank financing for many years, but due to increasing restrictions imposed by the bank lender, the company decided it was time to seek out a more flexible financing facility. Management realized during the due diligence process that they needed a lender who was more familiar with the furniture industry to ensure they would be adequately supported going forward. RCG provided a $3 million factoring facility to provide more working capital support as well as a more robust credit protection and AR management solution to help monitor and mitigate their customer credit risk.
A growing wellness brand focused on clean, organic ingredients was seeking alternative financing to support its growth plans. RCG provided a $1 million inventory only asset-based loan facility to fund anticipated growth for the direct-to-consumer business. RCG structured a facility to create maximum availability in a relatively short amount of time. With plans to enter into wholesale in the future, the company could have access to RCG’s other offerings including AR financing and purchase order financing to fund inventory purchases.
“All three of these transactions illustrate our deep knowledge of and expertise in the industries our clients operate in,” Ying Yang, senior vice president and director of business development at RCG, said. “Our experience makes us the perfect partner to growing brands and businessowners who are looking for flexible and creative alternative financing to ensure they can take advantage of growth opportunities when they arise and have the working capital they need to run their businesses effectively.”
