USE YOUR ASSETS TO FUND THE SUCCESSION OR SALE

In family-owned or closely-held businesses, the successor might not have the necessary cash to buy the business outright.

An asset-based facility, backed by the company’s assets like accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, or real estate, can provide the funds needed to finance the purchase.

TRANSITION WITH EXTRA WORKING CAPITAL

During a transition period, businesses often face a cash crunch due to unforeseen expenses or operational disruptions. Our creative facilities can offer a flexible source of working capital, allowing the business to continue operations smoothly and meet its financial obligations.

As new leadership takes over, they might want to pursue growth initiatives such as expanding product lines, entering new markets, or investing in technology. An asset-based facility can provide the necessary capital for these initiatives without diluting ownership or control, therefore maximizing the value of the business at the point of
transition.

MITIGATE RISK DURING YOUR BUSINESS TRANSITION

In a transition scenario, traditional lenders might consider the business a higher risk and be less willing to extend credit.

eCapital focuses more on the value of the assets being pledged rather than your creditworthiness, making it easier to secure financing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What's the role of asset-based lending in succession planning?

Asset-based lending can play a significant role in succession planning by providing financing options to facilitate a smooth transition of ownership within a business. Here’s how asset-based lending can support succession planning:

  1. Access to Capital: Asset-based lending allows the successor or acquiring party to leverage the existing assets of the business, such as accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, or real estate, as collateral to secure financing. This can provide the necessary capital for the successor to purchase the business or for the current owner to extract their equity.
  2. Flexible Financing: Asset-based lending offers greater flexibility compared to traditional bank loans, as the loan amount is based on the value of the underlying assets rather than the company’s creditworthiness. This can be particularly beneficial if the business undergoing succession planning has limited financial history or if the successor lacks sufficient personal resources for a cash purchase.
  3. Smooth Transition of Ownership: By providing the necessary funds, asset-based lending enables a seamless transition of ownership. The successor can use the borrowed capital to acquire the business and continue its operations without disruption, ensuring continuity and preserving customer relationships.
  4. Tailored Solutions: Asset-based lending can be customized to meet the specific needs of the succession plan. Lenders can structure financing arrangements based on the value of different assets, allowing for a more tailored approach to meet the unique requirements of the succession process.
  5. Support Growth and Expansion: Asset-based lending can also support the successor’s growth and expansion plans after the transition. By unlocking the value of assets, the successor can access capital for investment in new equipment, technology upgrades, marketing initiatives, or geographic expansion.

It’s important for businesses engaged in succession planning to work closely with financial advisors and lenders experienced in asset-based lending to explore the available options and ensure a successful transition of ownership.

What is Partner Buyout Financing?

Partner buyout financing refers to the process of securing funding to facilitate the buyout of a business partner’s ownership stake in a company. It typically occurs when one partner wishes to exit the business, retire, or pursue other opportunities, while the remaining partner(s) want to continue operating the business.

What are businesses in transition?

Businesses in transition refer to companies undergoing significant changes or transformations. These changes can include various scenarios, such as:

  1. Ownership Changes: Businesses in transition may experience changes in ownership, such as mergers, acquisitions, or management buyouts. These transitions often involve shifts in leadership, decision-making processes, and strategic direction.
  2. Structural Reorganization: A business in transition may undergo structural reorganization, such as a change in legal entity type, consolidation of divisions or departments, or a shift in the organizational hierarchy. These changes aim to optimize operations, improve efficiency, or adapt to evolving market conditions.
  3. Industry Adaptation: Businesses in transition may be adapting to changes in their industry or market landscape. This can involve embracing new technologies, adjusting business models, or diversifying product/service offerings to stay competitive.
  4. Financial Restructuring: Companies facing financial distress or insolvency may undergo a transition to restructure their debts, negotiate with creditors, or implement turnaround strategies. These transitions aim to improve financial health, restore profitability, and ensure long-term viability.
  5. Market Expansion: Businesses in transition may be expanding into new markets, territories, or customer segments. This often involves market research, strategic planning, and operational adjustments to capture new opportunities and drive growth.
  6. Technology Integration: Companies may undergo transitions related to technology integration, such as implementing new software systems, upgrading infrastructure, or digitizing business processes. These transitions aim to enhance efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness.

Businesses in transition face unique challenges and opportunities as they navigate these changes. They require careful planning, strategic decision-making, and effective execution to ensure a successful transition and drive positive outcomes.
