- Revolving Credit Facilities
An agreement between a bank and a company or an individual to provide a certain amount in
loans on demand from the borrower. The borrower is under no obligation to actually take
out a loan at any particular time, but may take part of the funds at any time over a
period of several years. This agreement is fairly common in situations in which a business
must make payroll but does not always have the operating income to do so, especially when
its operating income is seasonal or otherwise varies from month to month.
- Debtor in Possesion
Financing for acquisition of assets involved in Bankruptcies. In bankruptcy, a Chapter 11 debtor
remains in possession of his or her property and continues to operate a business. The Debtor in Possession must
still obtain court approval for non-routine transactions but is able to conduct business, receive
monies, and pay bills, including a reasonable salary for the debtor. Contrast with the situation
in which a bankruptcy trustee is appointed; in this case the trustee is then in control of all
assets of the debtor. Debtor-in-Possession (DIP) financing is essentially financing provided to
companies that have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy/reorganization protection. DIP financing
is a unique form of financing that helps companies emerge from the Chapter 11 process.
A debtor in possession (DIP) is generally attempting to fulfill its reorganization plan,
discharging certain debts and changing any structural weaknesses to put it on a path to profitability.
A company often requires financing in order to restructure, and DIP financing enables it to do so.
- Bridge Loans
Structured with take out opportunities identified prior to funding; the goal of this type of
funding is to stabilize the company and maintain productivity when external funding is temporarily
disrupted while longer term financing is obtained.
- Mezzanine Financing
Mezzanine Loans and second trust deed loans that are tailored to meet the needs of borrowers
and investors seeking financing for stabilized, value-added, and development opportunities.
- Purchase Order Financing
Purchase order financing is an excellent method for a business to obtain quick capital.
It is a great solution for when cash flow reserves are low. The problem happens with many
businesses because the suppliers want you to pay upfront with a C.O.D., but your customers
want to pay you on a 30 or 60 day basis. A purchase order is a financing tool that can used to
defer payments to suppliers and manufacturers. Purchase orders are vital during periods of
growth and expansion.
- Accounts Receivable Financing
Selling of outstanding invoices or receivables at a discount to a finance or
factoring company that assumes the risk on the receivables and provides quick cash to your business.
The amount of value assigned to the account depends on the age of a receivable.
