Diamond Business Credit announced it recently funded a $300,000 credit facility to a contract manufacturer.
The company was not “bankable” due to losses attributed to a steady run off in volume combined with a lack of expertise in crisis management. With its competitors in the same boat, a roll-up strategy was a natural. The Company partnered with a small private equity/management group to tighten cost controls, rebuild the top line and seek acquisitions. They needed a patient, understanding lender to support the turnaround.
Diamond was quick to respond with a facility that included an A/R revolver, a small equipment term loan and a modest PO facility to free up some backlog. The company, in addition to its base of short-run, high margin business, has landed a sizeable order that will accelerate the turnaround.
