Working capital financing for a market-leading media and advertising company (III)

Summary

The Company, founded in 2015, places and manages LED advertising screens in Riga. The Company rents advertisement spaces from Riga municipality, installs LED screens, and sells advertisement placements to advertising agencies. The screens are installed on walls of houses or in stand-alone locations. 

The Company is set to continue expanding the DCL network in Riga and build additional two-sided screens. The development project, coupled with a slower season for advertising, has put a strain on the Company’s working capital, therefore, the Company is seeking EUR 256,500 financing for 12 months to cover supplier invoices. The loan will carry a 14.04% annual interest rate (1.17% monthly) and it will be amortized monthly

The loan will be secured with the 2nd-rank commercial pledge on 13 large-format screens with a free-of-debt book value of EUR 687,819 (Capitalia also holds the senior pledge on the pledged screens for a loan ending in December 2024). The sole shareholder will provide the guarantee for the loan too. The Company is a repeat client of Capitalia and has already repaid more than EUR 400,000 in loan principals. The project risk rate is C (78 out of 100).

The minimum financing target in order to close the transaction is set at EUR 102,600 and another financing tranche might be published within the approved limit of EUR 256,500.
