Turkey Based (US Listed) Manufacturer seeks Asset Based Line of Credit

The Company is a manufacturer of touchscreen-based visual communication products for the education and corporate marketplace. The management’s industry relationships have enabled the company’s growth and the Company has the ability to sell under their own brand, sell under OEM, and the ability to contract manufacture. These are advantages which their competitors do not have. The Company is serving customers in three key markets – Turkey, the UK, and the US.

In it’s first year of trading, the Company achieved revenues of over $2m USD and was profitable in the first quarter of 2010, pre-reverse merger funding. In year 1, the Company designed, manufactured, launched and sold 4 new products as well as establishing the business from scratch and equipping a factory. In year two, the Company underwent a reverse merger transaction to take the company public on the OTCBB in the USA.

Due to a lumpy cash flow cycle the Company was not able to keep up with the significant increase in sales demand and therefore turned to TCA for a financing solution. TCA acted as advisor and concluded with management that an asset based line of credit secured and guaranteed by the eligible receivables of the Company would be the best and least expensive option for them. The asset based line provided and continues to provide on a rolling basis the immediate working capital needed to fulfill the increase in sales orders. Final result, TCA opened an ABL Line for the Company to use against eligible collateral with a similar fee structure as a traditional ABL financing. Company also agreed to a large equity kicker of preferred shares to TCA at closing.
