Payment Delays Result in Poor Cash Flow and Missed Rental Payments

The customer was under contract to work on 192 lots but was experiencing a delay in payment for work previously performed. As a result, they were past due on payments for equipment on rent from the local equipment dealer, past due on payments for financed equipment, and had some outstanding tax liens. The customer also needed money for short-term operations while they waited for their accounts receivable to pay. 

They needed a lender that would:

• Realize the value of their existing contracts
• Understand the reasons causing their current situation
• Recognize the value in their existing equipment

They also needed the transactional expertise to payoff existing debt and obtain working capital to continue operation.

Refinance of Existing Equipment Provides Working Capital to Payoff Outstanding Debts

CCG structured a loan that accomplished the following:

• Used free and clear collateral to pay off tax lien and provide a working capital loan for operations
• Converted the rented equipment into a purchase (paying all past due rentals)
• Refinance the debt and equipment with their existing lender with a payment plan that was consistent with their cash flow
