1. Supporting Multi-Location Equipment Deployment with Complex Structuring

2. Investor Profile

A contract manufacturer operating across multiple industries required $15 million in financing to acquire a wide range of manufacturing, testing, and quality control equipment. The project involved numerous vendors, milestone payments, and cross-border equipment deployment.

Commercial Funding Partners structured a solution that enabled the company to scale aggressively while managing both cash flow and cross-border risk.

3. The Challenge

The transaction presented a combination of operational complexity and structural risk.

The company needed to coordinate deposits and milestone payments across a large number of vendors and suppliers, while also managing equipment delivery timelines. Additionally, 75% of the equipment was being deployed in Mexico, creating challenges for traditional lenders concerned with collateral located outside the U.S.

Key challenges included:

• Multiple vendors and suppliers requiring coordinated payments
• Significant deposits and milestone-based funding
• Cross-border equipment deployment (majority in Mexico)
• Traditional lender concerns around asset location risk
• Need to preserve cash flow while continuing rapid growth

4. The Commercial Funding Partners Solution

Commercial Funding Partners designed a customized financing structure that addressed both the complexity of the transaction and the geographic challenges.

We secured $15,000,000 in financing, enabling the company to fund equipment acquisitions across multiple vendors while managing the risks associated with international asset placement.

5. The structure was designed to:

• Support multi-vendor, milestone-based payments
• Address risk tied to assets located outside the U.S.
• Enable deployment of equipment across both Mexico and the U.S.
• Preserve working capital to support continued growth
• Provide flexibility for a wide variety of equipment types

6. The Result

With financing in place, the company successfully executed a complex, multi-location expansion.

Results included:

• $15,000,000 funded
• Equipment deployed across U.S. and Mexico operations
• Seamless execution of deposits and milestone payments
• Acquisition of manufacturing, testing, and QC equipment
• Continued aggressive growth without cash flow disruption

7. Why This Transaction Matters

Complex deals require creative structuring.

When transactions involve multiple vendors, international asset placement, and aggressive growth timelines, traditional financing often falls short. This deal demonstrates how tailored solutions can overcome these challenges and support large-scale expansion.
