    Representative Structures

    Selected engagements from recent capital structuring work. Identifying details have been generalized for confidentiality.

    Situation

    Specialty food and beverage distributor, Northeast region. A $21M operator servicing 400 regional accounts, with a $1.8M seasonal inventory build required ahead of a Q4 volume peak driven by recurring retail program commitments.

    Structure Deployed

    Structured a $1.2M inventory-backed facility timed to the seasonal procurement cycle, with repayment indexed to projected sell-through. Existing bank line was preserved for general working capital. Facility was sized to the seasonal lift rather than full year inventory.

    Outcome

    Closed in 11 business days. Q4 inventory positioned ahead of demand. Facility paid down to under 25 percent utilization by end of Q1 as seasonal receivables converted.

    Situation

    Industrial parts and MRO distributor, Midwest region. A $19M operator carrying $3.1M in net-60 receivables across mid-market manufacturing customers, with a primary supplier consolidating terms and shortening payable windows.

    Structure Deployed

    Structured a $900K receivables-backed facility against verified customer receivables, advancing 82 percent on approved invoices. The facility absorbed the timing mismatch between accelerated payables and the operator's existing collection cycle.

    Outcome

    Funded in 9 business days. Supplier relationship preserved at improved terms. Customer-facing pricing maintained without disruption. Facility utilization stabilized at approximately 50 percent within four months.

    Situation

    Building materials and supply distributor, Southeast region. A $33M operator pursuing the acquisition of a regional competitor, requiring $2.1M in transaction capital plus working capital to integrate a third distribution location.

    Structure Deployed

    After review, recommended a hybrid structure: a conventional acquisition facility for the transaction itself plus a separate working capital line sized to the integrated entity. Coordinated both facilities through institutional partners rather than a single bridge structure.

    Outcome

    Closed the combined facilities at $2.4M within 28 days. Acquisition completed on the original timeline. Integrated operations achieved positive contribution within two quarters at a cost of capital materially below the bridge alternative.
