New U.S. Operation Needs Liquidity to Get Up to Speed

An Ontario, Canada-based packaging and container manufacturer recently acquired their first facility in the U.S. and needed liquidity to support the growth of their U.S. operation. The client identified $2MM in reimbursement-eligible equipment purchases and wanted to monetize those purchases to invest in additional revenue-generating production equipment for the new facility.

The client identified $2MM in reimbursement-eligible purchases that could be monetized to invest in additional revenue-generating production equipment.

The custom structure gave the client time to ramp up their new equipment and produce the cash flow necessary to pay for it.

Low Monthly Payments and Cash Flow Flexibility

First American presented the client with a 60-month, fixed purchase sale leaseback option that allowed for low monthly payments throughout the lease term. This structure gave the client time to ramp up their new equipment and produce the cash flow necessary to pay for it. The end-of-term options gave the client flexibility to evaluate their needs when the term ended and decide between making a balloon payment or continuing with low monthly payments.

As an equipment finance provider for RBC, First American was able to support the client with their U.S. financing needs through the client’s existing connection with an RBC Relationship Manager.
