Getting investment-grade corporate note financing in this environment for an alternative funding solutions provider is not easy. CFG Merchant Solutions was able to do that recently. I spoke with some of their representatives last week and am happy to share with you their press release on the closing of this financing.
"NEW YORK, NY. March 4th, 2023 – CFG Merchant Solutions, LLC (CFGMS), a technology-enabled provider of specialty finance and alternative funding solutions - has successfully secured $20 million in investment-grade rated corporate note financing from a group of top-tier institutional investors based in the United States. This transaction has received a BBB rating from a well-recognized statistical ratings organization.
Since its establishment in 2015, CFGMS has demonstrated a remarkable track record of asset performance and profitability. The company has extended funding exceeding $1 billion to over 25,000 small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) operating across diverse industries throughout the United States. The proceeds from this issuance will be utilized to refinance a portion of existing debt and to support the continued growth of the business.
“Across the U.S. there are millions of healthy SMBs looking for financing to grow. This sector, however, is increasingly under-served by traditional financial institutions,” said Andrew Coon, Chief Executive Officer of CFGMS. “This transaction will provide CFGMS with additional flexibility and enable the Company to continue to grow our business and deliver valuable capital to customers."
Bill Gallagher, President of CFGMS, added, “Given the volatile capital markets, the successful closing of this transaction demonstrates that institutional investors have confidence in our platform and financial performance, and expect to see continued growth. This credit investment significantly increases our funding capabilities and enhances our ability to take advantage of potential market opportunities.”
Brean Capital, LLC served as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor and sole placement agent in connection with the transaction."
