Princeton, NJ
North Mill Capital LLC, a leading provider of asset-based loans for small and medium-sized businesses in the Northeast, has acquired PrinSource Capital Companies LLC, a regional provider of working capital financing solutions and asset-based loans in the Midwest. This transaction will significantly expand North Mill’s geographic markets and enhance the combined company’s product capabilities. Combined, North Mill and PrinSource will provide asset-based loans and factoring solutions for borrowers seeking financing ranging from $200,000 to $10 million.
Headquartered in Minneapolis with an office in Milwaukee, PrinSource has been a leading factoring and asset-based lending company for over 15 years for small to medium-sized businesses in the Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois markets. PrinSource creates specialized working capital products to allow companies to leverage the value of their assets to meet their financial needs and is a respected leader in the business finance community known for intelligent, creative credit decisions, and dedication to customer service.
Similar to North Mill, PrinSource provides financing for companies in a variety of industries including staffing, trucking, manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and other service businesses. North Mill plans to maintain the PrinSource staff and offices in Minneapolis and Milwaukee with plans to grow its product offerings and to expand its geographic footprint in the Midwest.
To finance its acquisition, North Mill received additional equity investment from its current shareholders, led by Monitor Clipper Partners, and a material increase in its debt credit facility led by IDB Bank of New York supported by a syndicate of five participating banks. The additional capital will allow North Mill and PrinSource to more effectively serve its core customers with the ability to better meet client’s needs throughout their life cycle and for the Midwest market, increase the size of credit facilities offered.
Milestone Advisors, LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Prinsource in connection with the transaction.
Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP acted as legal counsel to North Mill Capital, Monitor Clipper Partners and ALDA Capital in connection with the transaction.
