First Capital, a national commercial finance company, announced it has provided a $12 million revolving line of credit to Neopart, LLC, a leading aftermarket parts distributor for transit and over-the-road coaches. The senior credit facility consists of a $12 million working capital revolver collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory.

First Capital was referred to the company because of First Capital’s ability to refinance the previous lender and also create a facility that would provide working capital for growth and additional market opportunities. Neopart, LLC is an industry leader and innovator for Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) systems for the transit industry.

“The First Capital team came to us highly recommended as a lender that could help our company get to the next level,” remarked Harold Boade, CEO of Neopart, LLC. “We look forward to being able to enhance our relationships with current customers as well as capture future opportunities to achieve our growth plans.”

Michel Lynch, Vice President and Business Development Officer, stated “Neopart has significant market share in major geographic areas and needs the responsiveness and flexibility of an independent lender in order to quickly respond to customer inventory requirements and demands.”

This transaction will be serviced by First Capital’s ABL Central Region managed by John Curtis, EVP and ABL Central Region Manager.
