HCC Obtains $1,500,000 Credit Line For Wireless Company

Huntington Coast Capital negotiated and procured a $1,500,000 credit line for a wireless service provider in Irvine, CA. The company was outgrowing their bank’s ability to fund their projects. The nature of their product required contracts for service over an extended period of time, and often were in the multi-million dollar range. The contracts required capital prior to delivery to cover cost of goods and other fixed expenses. This made a traditional accounts receivable line of credit challenging because most lenders lend on accounts receivable after services have been delivered.

They spoke to a number of community banks and finance companies and none seemed to deliver the amount of capital (at the right price) for their needs. Enter Huntington Coast Capital. After our initial consultation, we introduced a couple of avenues and potential lending sources for them to choose from. We introduced a factoring company and a couple of creative asset based lenders for them to consider. After the proposals were received, HCC highlighted the differences in the funding options and ran the cost through our pricing model matrix to offer a side by side comparison.

The company made their choice and are now able to meet the demand of their pending contracts and grow the company significantly.

HCC Secures $840,000 SBA Loan For A Sauna Manufacturer

Huntington Coast Capital is proud to announce the closing of a $840,000 SBA loan for a sauna manufacturer in San Francisco! The company was looking to re-structure some debt and utilize some outside capital for expansion.

The company was referred to us by one of our lending partners who could not offer them a term loan. Because they sold their product directly to consumers and not through retail distribution, they did not have accounts receivable. Non-SBA lenders need to have accounts receivable and/or inventory to provide working capital lines of credit. The SBA lenders look at things a bit differently; they look at the cash flow and debt service ability of the company. The company had strong cash flow and was trending in a growth direction.

A main reason for the growth of the company is due to their motto in placing customer health first.

An explanation from their company website:

For years, the healthcare industry recommended infrared heat lamps as a source of far infrared heat but the lamps were cumbersome, extremely hot and difficult to maintain at a constant temperature. Today, many healthcare professionals use far infrared infrared heaters to treat a variety of diseases throughout the world.

The efficacy of far infrared waves is very broad and the subject of recent study by NASA. Among the infrared waves, the far infrared rays, which have a wavelength of 8-14 microns, are especially good for the human body. These waves have the potential to penetrate 1.5 to 2 inches or more into the body allowing for deep heat and raising your core body temperature from deep inside. The deep heat and far infrared is why scholars believe that the Ondol (traditional warm floor of Korea) is good for health because the materials for the Ondol are stone and earth both of which radiate far infrared waves when heated.

The far infrared rays consist of similar wavelengths as that which is emitted naturally by the human body. This is one potential explanation of why many feel energetically rejuvenated and balanced from contact with far infrared waves. It is also believed that far infrared waves help improve blood circulation and recovery from fatigue.

I feel rejuvenated just reading this!

HCC Secures $2,300,000 for a Glass Fabricator in California

Huntington Coast Capital secured a $2,300,000 line of credit for working capital and equipment needs for a rapidly growing glass fabricator in California.

The company, established in 2009, offers full service glass fabrication out of their 80,000 square foot, state of the art facility. Their product offering includes architectural and creative glass fabrication services for office, industrial, retail and residential uses.

They were referred to us by a local bank that required a lock box arrangement which the borrower was not able to oblige. After our initial consultation, we directed them to a select group of three lenders to discuss their financing needs and preferences. In the end, they selected a lender that was able to provide the equipment loan (with lower fees than the SBA product) and working capital needs without the use of a lock box. The borrower now deposits his collected checks from customers into his bank account that the lender sweeps to repay the loan balance.

The entire process from introductions to funding took under 35 days! Now the company can meet demand and grow with their lender. Another example of how Huntington Coast Capital takes the headache out of finding the best lender for your business.

If you business could use additional capital to meet you company goals, give a call.

To your success!

What Is Your Rate?

What is Your Rate?

This is the main question when dealing with a commodity type funding product. For example, when I am looking to refinance my mortgage, I am looking for the lowest rate, period. It is assumed that the mortgage company/bank providing the loan will adequately service my mortgage.

However, when we are discussing business financing, we are looking more toward a funding partner with an entrepreneurial mindset that understands our business and the growth potential. With the exception of the SBA Loan products, business lending is more subjective than objective. At Huntington Coast Capital, we align ourselves on your side of the table and represent a number of private and institutional capital providers.

If your business can qualify for a bank line of credit, that is a great resource, however, if you’re like the majority of business owners out there, you don’t quite fit perfectly in all the boxes to be approved.

Our most common request is for working capital, either in the form of purchase order financing or factoring. Many times, the business owner(s) have quality accounts receivable, but little equity and cash in the business. This quickly disqualifies them from traditional financing solutions. Our clients need someone who can understand their business and rely more on the quality of the collateral than on the financial strength of the business.

By investing in businesses with credit profiles underneath standard bank qualifications, our funding partners are fueling the leading companies of tomorrow. Giving them the resources to grow and expand and take advantage of opportunities they otherwise would miss.

Rate is seldom the main focus of the conversation. While rate is always a consideration, the question of capital availability (is the money available to me in my current financial state?) takes center stage. Here is where Huntington Coast Capital brings real value. We all know where to go to speak to a banker, but few business owners know where to go to reach the secondary market.

By utilizing the services of Huntington Coast Capital, you are hiring experienced capital markets advisors. If your business could benefit from additional capital, we would like to speak with you.

To Your Success!
