Highlights of the year included:

  • $35 million line of credit for a national guard and protection services company. The borrower was experiencing rapid growth and needed additional working capital as it moved out of California to serve other areas nationwide.
  • $20 million revolving line of credit obtained for a motor oil distributor. Due to Covid, the company's focus on convenience stores called for more funding than the bank could offer.
  • $12.5 million sub-debt was established for an online distributor of office products. Due to supply chain credit issues, the company needed additional credit to expand.
  • $12 million purchase order availability obtained for a snack food manufacturer. This augmented a previously arranged bank loan by Lawrence Financial.
  • $10 million flooring line was set up for a school bus wholesaler. COVID's school closings presented challenges for its business.
