Read this if
You are evaluating a large asset-backed recapitalization that does not fit a narrow bank checklist.
Main constraint
The project needed funding capacity, appraisal confidence, diligence coordination, and speed.
Where CFP helped
CFP structured the transaction as a 60-month non-tax lease and coordinated the path to funding in less than three weeks.
$36 million
Sale-leaseback / 60-month non-tax lease
Anonymized Midwest manufacturer
Funded in less than three weeks
1. Situation
A Midwest manufacturer needed to recapitalize its entire facility while keeping the business moving.
2. Trigger
The company needed a financing path that could support a $36 million sale-leaseback recapitalization.
3. Constraint
The request had to connect collateral value, timeline pressure, diligence, and stakeholder coordination.
4. Why Standard Financing Can Stall
Large recapitalizations can stall when the request is treated like a simple quote instead of a structured capital need.
5. CFP Role
6. Financing Architecture
The financing architecture paired a facility-level collateral review with a sale-leaseback structure sized for the full recapitalization need.
7. Why It Mattered
The structure matched the operating need and kept the recapitalization from getting trapped in a generic loan process.
8. Value Created
The manufacturer recapitalized its facility and showed how CFP can support larger, more complex projects.
9. Similar-Fit Checklist
- Established operating company
- Meaningful equipment or facility asset value
- Sale-leaseback or recapitalization candidate
- Timing or diligence complexity
- Standard bank path feels too narrow
10. Strategic Fit For Buyers
Consider this structure when the financing need is large, collateral-intensive, time-sensitive, and better evaluated as a full recapitalization plan than as a simple equipment quote.
