Overview

Back With a Bank and Moving Production Forward

Diamond Willow enabled a $15 million bank asset-based working capital facility for a Maritimes based life sciences company operating internationally while defending multiple lawsuits.

This Maritimes-based life sciences manufacturer came back to us after we helped its sister companies. Banks were wary because the assets were overseas, there were lawsuits, and recent results were soft. We built a clear case around strong customers, real demand, and committed owners, then set up a bank line backed by assets that fit how they buy, make, and ship. That lowered their cost of capital and let them grow.

The Challenges

International operations and security complexity.
Multiple outstanding lawsuits.
Challenged recent financial results.

Risk Mitigants

Well-known, high-net-worth equity investors.
Multiple legal opinions favoring the borrower.
Robust end-market demand with high-quality, low-risk customers.

The Outcome

A bank stepped in with a much lower rate, giving the company working capital for materials, hiring, and longer production runs. The company scaled without material new equity, owners kept control, and international orders stayed on track.
