Financing US Subsidiaries

Foreign business entities looking to enter the U.S. market often create a domestic subsidiary to manage operations and hold title to U.S. assets. Prestige provides creative global solutions for domestic subsidiaries allowing them to grow and improve liquidity resulting from the sale of accounts receivables.

    $ 1,500,000

    Manufacturing

    Midwest

    • Client: Hi-Tech Electronic Manufacturer

    • Solution: The combination of factoring the target’s A/R and the unencumbered A/R of one of their other holdings provided the necessary funds to complete the acquisition within two weeks of being introduced to the deal.

  • U.S. Manufacturer

    $ 30,000,000

    Factoring

    Midwest

    • Client: Midwestern U.S. manufacturer with over $1 billion in annual sales.

    • Situation: The subsidiary’s parent company embarked on a major capital expenditure program, resulting in restrictions on intercompany advances.

    • Need: Although strong financially, the client needed working capital flexibility without creating debt.

    • Solution: Prestige purchased their receivables without recourse through a $30 million factoring line, so the client could access immediate cash. Since factoring is not considered a loan, the company assumed no debt on its balance sheet.

  • Carton Manufacturer

    $ 300,000

    Factoring

    New Jersey

    • Client: U.S. Subsidiary of German carton manufacturer with $5 million in annual sales.

    • Situation: The ten-year-old subsidiary was historically funded by its foreign parent company. Due to the global banking environment, the parent company made an abrupt decision to stop supporting the U.S. subsidiary. As a result, the subsidiary faced closure if it could not secure financing.

    • Need: The subsidiary needed immediate stand-alone financing to provide for its ongoing capital needs.

    • Solution: Within four days, Prestige purchased and funded $300,000 in receivables which prevented a disruption in operations and preserved jobs. Without this funding, the subsidiary probably would have closed.
