Rosenthal & Rosenthal completed two recent asset-based lending transactions totaling $8 million.
The first transaction was with a New York-based corporate uniform manufacturer for fast casual restaurants, grocers and convenience stores that was in need of additional working capital to support growth. The company was expanding its business with new and existing clients that were requesting longer sales terms and larger inventory replenishment levels. As a family-owned business, the company was looking for more flexibility from a non-bank lender that could offer less restrictive covenants and grow with the business over time. An accountant referred the company to Rosenthal, which provided a $3 million asset-based lending facility against receivables and inventory to support the working capital needs of the business as it expanded.
“Our asset-based lending facilities are an excellent solution for rapidly growing companies looking to take advantage of sizeable and fast-moving sales opportunities,” Andrew Barone, senior vice president at Rosenthal & Rosenthal, said.
The second transaction was with a Florida-based paper converter and manufacturer of bathroom tissue and paper towels that was faced with a conservative borrowing base and tight availability with its existing commercial bank lender. Seeking an alternative financing solution, the company engaged a debt placement consultant who referred it to Rosenthal. Rosenthal provided a $5 million asset-based lending facility against receivables and inventory to support the client’s working capital needs.
“Rosenthal’s alternative financing facilities are attractive to many companies that are looking for a lender who better understands their business, offers more flexibility and has the ability to unlock additional liquidity to grow their business,” Robert Schnitzer, senior vice president of business development at Rosenthal & Rosenthal, said.
