Seasonal financing for a profitable retailer of hunting goods (IV)

Summary

The Company was founded in 2009 in Latvia and is a reputable expert retailer of a wide range of hunting and active leisure goods and equipment such as clothes, riffles, optics, ammunition, and other hunting gear. The business operations are conducted through 3 legal entities and altogether the group manages 5 stores, including one in Lithuania. The Company operates two of these stores. The Company belongs to a sizeable group of entities operating in other industries such as real estate, construction, and equipment rental business. The war situation in Ukraine has stimulated the demand for clothing and optics goods, therefore in 2022, the Company experienced a significant increase in demand for its goods. To supplement the inventory and prepare for the season by making a bulk purchase of goods, Capitalia recently issued a loan of EUR 225,067; however, the Company placed more orders for its suppliers and lacks working capital to timely pay for them. As a result, the Company is seeking additional financing of EUR 51,152 for 10 months. Investors are offered a 10.8% annual interest rate (0.9% monthly) with a monthly amortization schedule. A personal guarantee from the beneficial owner of the group and a guarantee of a sizeable related retail company with an adjusted equity capital of EUR 3 million is provided.

The Company is a returning client of Capitalia and the Company and its two related group companies successfully have repaid more than EUR 2M of loan principal.
