Opening new opportunities for a custom door manufacturer
Situation
This family-owned business manufactures and fabricates custom doors for a variety of customers primarily in the food processing, cold storage, and pharmaceutical industries. With a strong reputation for providing a quality product at a competitive price, the business began to grow. In order to meet its increasing cash flow needs, the owner approached his local community bank for a working capital line of credit. Unfortunately, the banker was unable to approve the loan due to a lack of cash flow and negative equity on the balance sheet.
Solution
In order to help a long-time deposit customer, the banker referred the company to Magnolia Financial. Despite the negative equity and limited cash flow, Magnolia understood the working capital needs of a growing business and extended a $300,000 line of credit secured only by Accounts Receivable. Instead of delaying the start of new jobs or turning away new customers, the company is now able to meet the increased cash flow demands caused by the recent growth. Best of all, the company is now projecting record profitability for the year and expects to graduate back to their bank for a traditional line of credit in 12-18 months.
