Porter Capital, an asset-based lender and invoice factoring company based out of Birmingham, AL, experienced a strong end to Q3 and a great start to Q4 by extending over $10 million in financing to small business owners. The companies that were supported in September and October 2019, via access to quick working capital, were spread out across multiple industries throughout the United States; even with the rocketing success Porter Capital is still optimistic about breaking more records thanks to an ever-growing sales pipeline in November with more than 6 weeks left in the calendar year; highlights were:

• A commercial maintenance company in Georgia was looking to leverage roughly $200,000 in accounts receivable to one customer on a non-recourse basis. Porter Capital was able to size up the risk and fund the company as requested. The factoring line injected much-needed cash while positioning the company for more growth with its only customer.
• A successful staffing company located in the northeast was forced to take out an over-leveraged financial line of credit due to maxing out their small business loan from a community bank. Porter was able to beat out two other factors by getting flexible with the structure of the deal and pay off both lenders with a $1,000,000 accounts receivable line.
• A newly organized digital advertising firm was seeking a financial partner to help with the acquisition of a competitor that had recently been placed into the special assets division of their local bank. Porter was contacted by a trusted investment banker who needed a custom structure for their client. We were able to secure a $1,500,000 accounts receivable line, removing the bank and providing enough liquidity to finalize the acquisition.
• A well-established coffee warehouse looking to expand operations in Miami was seeking a $250,000 factoring line of credit to help boost their cash position while searching for acquisitions. Porter moved fast and established the line for the client and funded the transaction in less than seven business days.
