    Current Balance as of 7/26/16: $287,600
    Sole Prop
    Credit: 728
    State: TX
    Industry: Wholesale Distributing
    Monthly Revenue: $850k-1Mil


    Any takers?

    Would they consider factoring or an asset based line using accounts receivables and inventory as collateral?

    Possibly. I know they received an collateral based offer of 750k 5yr term (not sure if it was a legit offer because it was just an email to them from someone they never dealt with), however I have all financials

    I tried with Dan, not a good fit because profit margins were too small. Thanks though

    Yes. Current balance is too high. They don't feel comfortable paying it off yet. Maybe when they're closer to 200k.

    Thank you for the shout-out Michael.

    GHen- This is a possibility. The topline revenue sounds like it is there. It just depends upon whether the net income is there to match it.

    I do a lot of consolidations, paying off existing MCA and providing cash-out. Typically a twelve to eighteen month term, with early pre-pay available any time after six months (no fees, penalties or interest, client can just pay remaining principle and get out). Payments are monthly, not daily.

    We would have to get our arms around the sole proprietorship. While I don't necessarily have an issue with the business structure, it is moreso a question about how the business is run. I cannot fund a deal where if the sole proprietor somehow meets with a tragedy, the company is out of business (like a single practitioner dentist). If the numbers work and we can get past the sole proprietor issue, there is a decent chance we can make it work.

    Feel free to reach out.

    Best,

    I think Kevin has the correct approach. Except for real estate I can't think of any other collateral that could form the basis if a 5 year loan.
    Depending on the industry your client may be able to utilize their inventory and accounts receivable to collateralize a line of credit.

    One thing to keep in mind is that this business operates as a sole prop. Not many factors welcome a facility this size under a sole prop.

    Happy to propose on this if your client considers factoring.

    Guys: this one is tough.. COGS is very high (over 90%), there are no receivables to leverage, as George mentioned its a sole prop- with negative equity on balance sheet...\
