SouthStar Capital Fuels Growth for Plant-Based Cookie Manufacturer with $50K Factoring and P/O Facility

The Situation
A 20-year-old manufacturer of 100% plant-based cookies, which it distributes to regional retailers, faced a cash flow challenge. With $95,000 in frozen inventory and $14,000 in outstanding invoices, it needed immediate funding to fulfill a new purchase order.
The Solution
SouthStar Capital provided a $50,000 Factoring and Purchase Order (P/O) Facility. This funding allowed them to pay off the bank balance, secure a first lien position, and pay suppliers for new orders. Factoring the outstanding invoices freed up over $5,000, ensuring smooth operations.
The Result
With SouthStar’s support, the company met its financial obligations, delivered timely orders, and maintained strong customer relationships. It is well-positioned to expand its distribution network and grow in the plant-based food market.
