A turnaround consultant called in Gibraltar when his client’s bank proved less flexible than necessary while certain business improvements were in process. Gibraltar was able to respond with a $13 million asset-based line of credit to help the company move through the transition.

The company, based in New York City designs, markets and distributes home fashions such as bedding, towels, shower curtains and pillows to several off-price and full-price big-box retail chains.

Anticipating growth, the company invested in infrastructure to serve its growing market. However, the timing of these investments and the cash-flow-producing growth necessary to fund them proved to be problematic, and the traditional bank that had financed the improvements did not have the flexibility to adjust to the company’s needs through this transitional period.

Gibraltar saw these improvement processes in a positive light, as setting the stage for strong future growth. Gibraltar stepped in with asset-based financing that allowed the home fashion producer to leave its restrictive banking relationship and gain more time to complete its restructuring. Gibraltar leveraged the company’s accounts receivable and inventory to provide additional working capital and create a bridge to the future.
