Food Sector – Refinancing of Asset-Based Lending (ABL) Facilities

Our client is a leading supplier of dried foods for retail, wholesale and the food service industry. We were engaged to advise on a refinancing process for new shareholders with added time-pressure. Our role was to unlock £1.5m of additional funding and renegotiate covenants with the existing lenders or to seek a new working capital facility.

The timing was challenging due to the impact of Covid-19 and Brexit on the underlying business and general lender uncertainty in the market.

Utilising our extensive lender network, we successfully refinanced all working capital facilities away from the incumbent lender.
