Feeding a healthy meal distribution company's grow
Situation
Founded in 2011 as a healthy home delivery meal service, the company recently expanded into wholesale distribution after being awarded a sizeable Purchase Order from a large national retailer. In order to build inventory to support the new contract, the company approached their local bank for an increase to their line of credit. Unfortunately, the historical cash flow did not support the line of credit request and the banker was unable to approve the increase. Instead of simply telling the customer “no,” the banker referred them to Magnolia Financial.
Solution
Instead of relying on historical cash flows, Magnolia focused on the Accounts Receivable due from the large, very credit-worthy retailer. Using ONLY Accounts Receivable as collateral, Magnolia provided the company with an additional $250,000 credit line to support the new orders. The banker was able to keep the deposit relationship and the company can now focus on new customer growth rather than worrying about cash flow.
