September 7, 2011

Date Funded:  9/6/11

Facility Amount:  $300,000

This company is partnered with the world’s leading escalator handrail manufacturer and provider.

The Issue:  Although initially slow to start, the company has recently obtained a tremendous amount of interest from numerous airports to procure this style of advertising.  Since they are the exclusive provider of this product/service in the United States, they are growing now at a very rapid speed and need help with cash flow. 

The Solution:  A banker in New York at one of our referral banks who was familiar with Allied and our referral relationship with the bank, referred this prospect to Tanya Fontenot at Allied.  Because the company is essentially a start up with no real financial history for the bank to consider, the bank was unable to provide funding.  However, Allied was quickly able to provide a start up/growth capital factoring facility for this company.

The Win:  This “Funding by Allied” will not only enable the company to stay current on fees with their licensee/partner, but it will also enable them to bid on more jobs so they can grow their business.

Allied Affiliated Funding Provides $250,000 Working Capital Facility to Texas Distribution Company

May 10, 2011

Date Funded 5/6/11

Facility Amount:  $250,000

The Company:  This company is a Dallas, TX based wholesale distributor of women’s and children’s accessories. 

The Issue:  This company’s somewhat seasonal business was previously financed for over a decade by another factoring company.  When this factor was ultimately bought out by a bank, this change inadvertently impacted the client relationship and the service levels the company had come to rely on with their long term factor.

The WinThis “Funding by Allied” will provide the company the working capital they need for their business and the quality customer service they were striving to achieve with a new factor and long term financial partner.
