SUCCESS STORIES

From introduction to impact—specialty finance solutions that deliver

Offboarding a client into a non-bank facility during covenant default

Banker boardroom meeting.

OVERVIEW
A commercial banker managing a long-term client relationship was forced to transition a borrower out of the bank due to repeated covenant breaches tied to cash flow pressure and declining EBITDA.

CHALLENGE
The bank needed to protect its position while maintaining goodwill with the client, who still had a viable core business but was no longer a fit for the credit policy. Timing and reputation were critical.

SOLUTION
eCapital provided a $6 million asset-based lending facility secured by receivables and inventory, allowing the client to refinance out of the bank. The banker preserved the relationship and freed up internal risk exposure, with a potential reboarding opportunity once the business stabilized.

Preserving a key banking relationship through transitional financing

OVERVIEW
A regional bank referred a long-term commercial client, a $25M-revenue manufacturing firm, that had exceeded its borrowing base due to rapid growth and delayed receivable collections. The bank wanted to preserve the client relationship but needed to reduce short-term exposure.

CHALLENGE
The company faced liquidity strain as sales outpaced cash inflows. Extended customer payment terms created a widening gap between receivables and payables. Increasing the bank line was not an option within policy limits, but a referral outside the bank’s network risked losing the client.

SOLUTION
eCapital worked with the bank to implement a $7 million accounts receivable financing facility that immediately stabilized cash flow. The facility was structured as a bridge, allowing the company to continue meeting supplier and payroll obligations while maintaining its depository relationship with the bank. Within twelve months, the client successfully returned to full bank financing, preserving a valuable relationship for the institution.

Providing liquidity for a client in covenant default

OVERVIEW
A commercial banker was managing a long-standing distribution client that had fallen out of covenant compliance following an industry slowdown. The client remained profitable but required immediate working capital to maintain operations and avoid default escalation.

CHALLENGE
The bank’s credit team was unable to extend additional financing due to regulatory constraints, yet the banker wanted to help the client stabilize and avoid reputational damage for both parties. The bank sought an alternative lending partner that could move quickly and uphold relationship transparency.

SOLUTION
eCapital evaluated the company’s collateral base and structured a $10 million asset-based lending facility secured by receivables and inventory. The new facility provided the liquidity needed to meet obligations, satisfy suppliers, and preserve the bank’s senior position through a clearly defined intercreditor agreement. Six months later, as performance improved, the client re-qualified for a conventional bank line and seamlessly transitioned back under the bank’s portfolio.

Supporting a bank client through an ownership transition

Business meeting with a banker.

OVERVIEW
A commercial banker referred a client, a logistics company preparing for a management buyout, that needed bridge financing to close the transaction and sustain operations during the transition. The bank wanted to remain the long-term partner post-buyout but could not extend interim credit under its internal lending policy.

CHALLENGE
The client faced a short closing window and needed immediate liquidity to fund the buyout, cover working capital gaps, and maintain operations. Without financing, the deal risked collapse, jeopardizing both the transaction and the bank’s future relationship with the new ownership group.

SOLUTION
eCapital partnered with the bank to structure an $8 million bridge facility leveraging receivables and equipment as collateral. The transaction closed on schedule, ensuring operational continuity and preserving the client’s banking relationship. Once the ownership transition stabilized, the client refinanced back into a traditional bank facility, achieving a successful outcome for all parties.

Frequently asked questions
from banking professionals

How does eCapital partner with banks and bankers?

eCapital partners with banks to provide alternative financing solutions for clients who temporarily fall outside traditional lending criteria. Our flexible, asset-based funding allows banks to maintain valued relationships while ensuring their clients still receive the capital they need to remain strong and solvent.

How does eCapital protect the bank’s client relationship?

Client protection is central to every partnership. eCapital operates as a trusted, behind-the-scenes funding partner, not a competitor. The client remains under the bank’s primary relationship, and our team provides transparency, regular updates, and full cooperation throughout the engagement to preserve that trust.

Can eCapital help clients return to traditional bank financing?

Yes. eCapital’s goal is to bridge liquidity gaps and strengthen clients until they once again meet bank lending requirements. Many of our successful engagements transition back into conventional credit relationships with their referring bank once stability and compliance are restored.

How does eCapital handle communication and transparency with partner banks?

Open communication is central to our approach. eCapital provides timely updates throughout underwriting, funding, and the ongoing relationship. We coordinate with the referring banker to ensure the client’s progress is tracked and that re-entry into traditional banking remains an achievable outcome.

What happens if a bank client already has existing credit facilities?

eCapital can complement existing facilities by providing additional liquidity through subordinate or carve-out structures. For clients with senior debt, we can work alongside the bank under an intercreditor agreement that clearly defines roles and maintains the bank’s position while enhancing the client’s liquidity.

Can eCapital work with clients who are under bank forbearance or covenant default?

Yes. eCapital frequently assists businesses that are under forbearance, experiencing covenant pressure, or temporarily out of compliance with existing bank terms. We provide immediate liquidity to stabilize operations and, when appropriate, collaborate with the bank to facilitate an orderly transition or eventual reinstatement.

Does eCapital purchase loans or work alongside banks as a complementary lender

eCapital can structure either option depending on the bank’s preference. We often act as a complementary lender, providing liquidity through a subordinated or carved-out structure. In other cases, we may purchase the facility entirely, freeing up the bank’s capital while maintaining a cooperative relationship for future re-entry.

How can bankers start a partnership with eCapital?

Bankers can initiate a partnership by reaching out directly to eCapital’s business development team. After an initial discussion to understand your client base and credit approach, we’ll assign a dedicated relationship manager who collaborates with your team to identify opportunities and ensure smooth client referrals.
