A leading Texas food manufacturer and wholesale supplier faced acute liquidity pressure after a voluntary product withdrawal weighed on 2024 earnings. Raw material inflation in beef and poultry compounded the strain, limiting the company's ability to fund inventory ahead of collections — even as its sales pipeline expanded rapidly.

Led by Flatbay Capital BDO Stephanie Roehm, a $4,250,000 Commercial Real Estate Line of Credit was structured to stabilize the business and catalyze a strategic turnaround. Unlocking the latent equity in the client's owner-occupied CRE in Dallas-Fort Worth provided flexible growth capital — without diluting equity or sacrificing enterprise value. This enabled the company to:

• Retire Debt — Extinguish an existing first-lien deed of trust and outstanding equipment obligations.

• Restore Liquidity — Reduce accounts payable and meaningfully improve operating cash flow.

• Fuel Expansion — Deploy working capital to support a projected 100% increase in weekly processing volume following new contract wins with major national retailers.

This transaction reflects Flatbay Capital's commitment to looking past temporary financial hurdles by focusing on the underlying real estate value and the strength of the management’s turnaround strategy.
