Rosenthal Closes $11 Million Asset- Based Lending Transaction for Seafood Importer and Distributor

(NEW YORK) APRIL 16, 2024– Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc., the leading factoring, asset based lending, purchase order financing and inventory financing firm in the United States, today announced the completion of an asset-based lending transaction for a major seafood importer totaling $11 million. 

Based in the Southeast, the company imports and distributes high-quality frozen seafood to major food wholesalers and retail partners throughout the Eastern and Southeastern U.S. In 2023, the company found itself in a turnaround situation with a highly concentrated customer. The client’s Chicago-based turnaround consultant brought in Rosenthal as a potential financing partner. Although the client initially went with a bank ABL, Rosenthal reconnected with the client at the industry’s largest trade show, and within three weeks of that meeting, Rosenthal was able to provide the client with a $11 million asset based lending facility backed by accounts receivable and inventory. 

“This transaction is a great example of why Rosenthal’s products and offerings can be excellent alternatives to working with a bank,” said Andrew O’Day, Vice President of Business Development at Rosenthal. “Rosenthal’s flexibility, speed to close and our ability to provide non-dilutive working capital solutions without the red tape and restrictions that often go hand-in-hand with bank funding can make all the difference for companies looking to take advantage of sales opportunities.”
