Plus Funding Group Completes $3.6 Million Financing of Acquisition of Aviation Fuel Systems Manufacturer

Plus Funding Group (PFG), a New York-based specialty finance firm, has closed on the financing of the acquisition by a sponsor group of an aviation fuel systems manufacturing company located in the Southeastern United States. PFG provided approximately $2.3m of receivables and purchase order financing, pursuant to a $4 million line to provide for future working capital needs, and also provided a companion $1.3 million term loan backed by inventory, property, plant and equipment.

Robert Blum, Chairman of Plus Funding Group, stated that, “While this transaction began as a conventional receivables factoring arrangement, negotiations with the seller ultimately required more capital than the receivables would support, and we were able to put in place a purchase order facility and companion term loan to help complete this transaction on an accelerated timetable. Our client was very happy with the result, knowing that many factoring firms lack the flexible capital structure and broad-based lending skills that we possess.”

Mr. Blum added that, “When we announced our acquisition seven months ago by Downtown Capital Partners (DCP), part of a family office with deep resources, we expected that this combination would enable a broader range of financing capabilities to be provided to both our and DCP’s clients. This transaction was a case in point to our enhanced ability to provide customized solutions for our clients.”
