LSQ, a leading provider of working capital finance and payments solutions, recently expanded its relationship with Wilson Creek Energy by originating a $15 million credit facility for the Pennsylvania-based metallurgical coal producer.

The company will use the additional capital to expand their operations and take on new clients.

As part of the solution, LSQ will also provide Wilson Creek with comprehensive accounts receivable and credit management to help better manage repayment risk and monitor customer health.

As the Secured Finance Network and its members have examined the Main Street Lending Program, there have been two aspects of the program in particular that have been identified as impacting on the utility of the program for borrowers from asset-based lenders. 

Both points, along with some others, have been raised in letters from the Secured Finance Network to the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve.  And the Secured Finance Network has followed up with specific questions to Treasury arising from the “Main Street Lending Program Frequently Asked Questions” published on July 31, 2020 by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (the “FAQs”) in understanding what is permitted under the Program that could significantly impact how it may be used with an asset-based facility.
