MB Business Capital Announces $8 Million Funding for WM Coffman
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 21, 2016 -- MB Business Capital, a division of MB Financial Bank, N.A., announced it recently provided an $8,000,000 senior credit facility to Plano, Texas based WM Coffman Resources, LLC (“Coffman”). Coffman is the market leader in the residential stair parts industry within the United States. They are a one-stop shop for residential, interior stairway design and construction. WM Coffman is a portfolio company of Prophet Equity. Proceeds of the facility were used to facilitate the acquisition of Staircrafter’s Supply, LLC (“Staircrafter’s”) in Rahway, NJ, refinance existing debt and to fund working capital needs.
WM Coffman has been a valued customer of MB Business Capital since 2012. Prophet Equity acquired Staircrafter’s and approached MB, as well as other lenders, for a new line to enable the acquisition and refinance existing debt. MB Business Capital won the deal and was able to provide a resourceful facility that gave Prophet more liquidity with a larger revolving line of credit and a very creative term loan. MB also added value to the transaction by introducing Prophet to Spell Capital Mezzanine Partners. Subsequently, Spell was brought into the deal by Prophet to provide Mezzanine financing for Coffman.
“The MB Business Capital team prides itself on closing what we propose and looking at each deal individually. We do not have a “cookie cutter” product and each deal is underwritten according to the company’s needs and capabilities. We are very pleased that we were able to accommodate Prophet Equity’s requests and WM Coffman will continue to be a highly regarded customer.”, says Michael Sharkey, President of MB Business Capital.
