Lighthouse Financial Corp. announced it has provided a $3.2 million revolving line of credit and a $235,000 term loan to a NC based manufacturer of medical and non-medical hosiery.  The company was founded in 1927 and, prior to 2014, focused on women's hosiery including pantyhose, stockings, tights and socks.  In an effort to diversify its sales base, the company began manufacturing medical compression hosiery in 2014. 
 
The credit facility was designed to refinance the existing debt and provide additional working capital.  Lighthouse was able to structure an aggressive facility against accounts receivable, inventory, and machinery & equipment that improved upon the existing structure thus increasing working capital availability to support sales growth related to the medical hosiery segment.
 
 "With the changing market conditions in the women's hosiery industry, we needed to diversify our product offering to maintain and grow our revenue base.  The expense related to initiating the medical segment of our business put a burden on our cash flow.  Lighthouse was able to assess the situation and understand our future direction.  They provided us with an aggressive working capital facility that will support our needs as we continue to grow the new business," said Huntley Bossong, President & CEO of Bossong Hosiery.
