Commercial Finance Partners Closes $4.5 Million Asset-Based Lending and Mezzanine Financing for Southeast Metals Manufacturer
BOCA RATON, FL — Commercial Finance Partners (“CFP”), a debt advisory and direct lending platform, announced the closing of a $4,500,000 multi-tranche financing for a Southeast-based steel and tube manufacturer and distributor. The transaction included a $4,000,000 asset-based revolving line of credit and $500,000 in mezzanine financing.
The company was operating under an existing bank facility that no longer fit its capital needs. An SBA loan was initially explored but could not fully bridge the gap, creating a significant capital shortfall that required a creative, multi-layered financing structure—under a compressed timeline.
CFP structured a two-tranche solution to execute a full takeout of the bank obligation. The $4,000,000 asset-based line of credit, collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory, provides flexible working capital to support ongoing operations and growth. The $500,000 mezzanine facility was layered in to close the remaining gap and complete the capital stack.
“This deal is a great example of what we do every day at CFP—we don’t just find a lender, we solve the entire capital structure,” said Karen Small, Senior Business Development Officer at Commercial Finance Partners. “The borrower needed more than a conventional refinance. By pairing an ABL facility with mezzanine financing, we were able to deliver a clean transition and a capital structure purpose-built for the cyclical demands of the metals distribution industry. That’s the kind of outcome our clients count on us to deliver.”
The transaction resulted in a seamless transition from the prior bank facility, providing the client with the liquidity and flexibility needed to continue scaling—with a capital partner that understands the operational dynamics of metals manufacturing and distribution.
