It approached the US Capital team for assistance.
The US Capital team advised on an $8 million term loan and line of credit for Valley Respiratory Services.

As such, the company had been expanding rapidly and now needed a more suitable financing structure to support its ongoing growth. However, it is generally challenging for most lenders in the United States to refinance a company located in Australia, let alone a service business abroad.
Despite the obvious challenges, the US Capital team further expanded the reach of its Capital Markets division into emerging markets by successfully structuring and providing a $2.5 million accounts receivable line of credit for this Australian digital media business.

After looking at this transaction from a global perspective and analyzing the 27 other entities owned by the principal, the US Capital team successfully provided a $5 million accounts receivable and inventory line of credit for Bushman Organics.

Headquartered in the Northeast United States, this enterprise is a diversified business holding company for promising high-growth enterprises. It has a number of operating subsidiaries, including a service provider and two component manufacturers for the aerospace industry.
The holding company required additional debt financing for general business purposes and to provide liquidity for new strategic targeted equity investments. However, the holding company’s operating subsidiaries already had maximum leverage, and any additional leverage in those businesses would trip existing loan covenants. The company therefore turned to the US Capital team for assistance.
The US Capital team was able to use the holding company’s stock as collateral for additional leverage. This allowed US Capital to provide $10 million in additional term loan financing for the holding company, while the company’s existing operating subsidiaries remained fully in compliance with their respective loan terms. In addition, the new debt financing was specifically designed to scale as the holding company continues to expand through further acquisition or organic growth.

Established in 2009, this Florida-based non-profit social enterprise seeks to create meaningful employment opportunities for people with disabilities, including service disabled veterans and people who are deaf, visually impaired, or have a physical or mental disability. The company provides drug and alcohol testing equipment to over 200 institutions and state agencies, designing products to meet a wide variety of specification needs.
In 2011, the largest manufacturer and supplier of this non-profit social enterprise was acquired by a private company. After the acquisition, the private company donated the entire manufacturing business to the non-profit. This resulted in one of the largest partnerships between a for-profit and a non-profit, with this Florida-based social enterprise poised to become a major manufacturer of drug testing equipment. To support its current and future working capital needs, the non-profit needed to place a scalable accounts receivable line of credit.
One hundred percent of the non-profit’s receivables were with government agencies, with all payments received through a single government entity. The situation was problematic for most traditional lenders—because of the non-profit structure of the enterprise, the concentration of receivables, and the government account debtors. Nonetheless, the US Capital team was able to structure and provide a multi-million dollar revolver to support the company’s continued growth.
Founded in 2006, this expanding enterprise develops, markets, and sells an innovative range of personal massagers and fully customizable self-pleasure devices.

With sales ready to escalate following TV celebrity endorsements and the company’s home-party business model, this expanding firm required additional working capital to support its current and future inventory needs. The challenge was that the company’s ratio of inventory to accounts receivable was "upside down." Companies with significantly higher inventory than accounts receivable are generally declined by traditional lenders.
Inventory and accounts receivable lenders will usually advance financing principally on accounts receivable, and only modestly on inventory based on trailing sales, this being an indicator of inventory credit strength for inventory advances. US Capital is one of the very few lenders in the marketplace that can close a deal where the ratio of inventory to accounts receivable is "upside down." In this case, the US Capital team provided an accounts receivable line of credit scalable to $5 million for the firm, together with a $1 million inventory line of credit.
