Senior Secured Loans

MFC Capital Funding’s main focus is providing senior debt to sponsor-owned businesses and directly to privately held businesses. MFC Capital funding provides senior debt from $3 million to $25 million with a focus on facilities sized from $5 million to $15 million. We syndicate our larger transactions with a focus on keeping our hold level at or below $15 million.

We have three core senior debt products:

1. Sponsor Backed Cash-Flow Multiple Loans: We provide cash-flow multiple loans to our strongest borrowers based on a multiple of free cash flow. Cash-flow structures are typically provided in situations where the borrower: (a) is owned by a funded private equity sponsor; (b) has multiple “corporate finance” alternatives to repay the loan in the event of default (e.g. selling the company or one or more of its business units); (c) competes in a mature or stable industry; (d) is a leader in its markets; and (e) has a history of stable or growing cash flows with no significant customer concentrations, among other various considerations.

2. Structured Finance Loans (Asset-Based Stretch): This product is used primarily by a borrower that is unable to meet the cash-flow product profile, but is still a very strong credit risk. In these circumstances, the amount of credit provided in excess of the asset values can approach up to 25% of the loan amount. The structured finance over-advance (i.e. the amount in excess of standard collateral advance rates) term loan typically amortizes in one to three years.

3. Growth Asset-Based Loans: We provide senior asset-based structures to growing borrowers who have positive cash flow and full liquidation asset coverage. This product has application over a very wide market. Assets underlying the transaction include both current and long term assets, with orderly liquidation values exceeding the advance amount. In general, company specific dynamics do not support the extension of credit beyond the value of the assets.

We finance a variety of companies including manufacturers, distributors, and service businesses. We do not finance turnarounds or provide DIP financing.

Overall, we pride ourselves on being responsive and finding a way to get a deal done. When we can’t find a way to get there, we will tell you quickly as well.
