Republic Business Credit has partnered with a family office to provide a $2.5 million receivables financing facility for the sponsor's precision metal coating company.
Based in the Southwest, the company provides specialised metal finishing, surface treatment and chemical coating solutions to manufacturing and industrial clients across the United States. The financing is structured to meet working capital requirements and to support a growth plan projecting accelerated sales and an expanded customer base.
The sponsor initially sought a financing partner able to fund both accounts receivable and equipment. Having evaluated several structuring alternatives, the company selected a receivables-only facility in order to benefit from an accelerated closing timeline. Republic has offered flexibility to add an equipment term loan or capital expenditure facility in future.
"This partnership underscores the value of strong industry connections and expertise," said Leigh Guglielmo, senior vice president of business development at Republic Business Credit. "Leveraging both allowed us to meaningfully impact the company's long-term growth potential."
"As a wholly owned subsidiary of a bank, we provide the full toolbox to our partners while combining our strength with the heart of an independent commercial finance company," said Robert Meyers, chief executive of Republic Business Credit.
Working capital facilities of this scale rarely attract headlines, but they are a practical component of direct ownership. Family offices holding operating businesses increasingly pair equity ownership with specialist asset-based lenders rather than funding growth from the balance sheet.
