An internationally recognized food producer encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase a competitor's facility. Strategically located, the facility offers potential savings in both distribution and logistical costs while also providing a major boost in production.

The deal became available at a competitive price through a business relationship, and the client needed to act fast, within 20 days, to secure the opportunity before it went to market.

The company had a lender willing to provide $15 million toward the deal, but there was a $10 million gap between the client and their opportunity.

Private equity was ruled out as an option, so the company contacted National Business Capital’s advisors at the beginning of December 2024, seeking a solution to close by year-end.

National Business Capital’s finance team collaborated with both the buyer and seller’s legal counsel, along with the senior lender, to facilitate the process.

In only 20 days, National Business Capital’s direct lending group extended $10 million in sub-debt to fill the capital gap and finalize the company’s transaction within the critical timeline.

The acquisition equips one of the nation’s high-end food providers with a powerful new facility in a key location. It has the potential to 10X annual revenue and production while reducing logistics costs and bolstering profits.
