SITUATION:
•PMF’s “MANUFACTURING MINORITY CLIENT”: first approach PMF
producing tools for big box stores and had annual sales of $2 million U.S.
(also no profits for the last 2 yrs due product shift, but….);
•Client’s International Sales were rapidly growing;
•Additionally, Client needed Loan to produce tooling for 5 products
• Supplier Terms and Customers demanding 60 to 90 day Terms
PMF’s SOLUTION:
•Provided Trade Financing and PO Financing to accelerate and
ease cash-flow so suppliers could be paid early for “supplier
discounts” and company could continue to grow sales
•To provide eligibility on financing International (A/R) Customers
•To provide Guarantees to Foreign Suppliers
•To provide Minority Loan for tooling in China
RESULTS:
•1 year later, PMF provided cashflow to grow CLIENT’s sales from $2
to $5 million without any losses.
