Challenge:
Organization:Wholesale Distributor Client Since: 2019 Equipment Financed: ERP System Financing Structure: 42-Month $1 Buyout with Sale Leaseback
A growing distributor needed to replace their legacy AS400 ERP system to support continued growth and respond faster to market demands. However, the upgrade required significant upfront investment, and their bank would only fund part of the project—leaving a gap that threatened to delay the critical transformation.
Solution:
First American structured a custom, tax-efficient solution that funded the full ERP implementation, including soft costs, without diverting capital from other priorities. A sale leaseback reimbursed $3.5MM in vendor payments, helping optimize cash flow during implementation while allowing the organization to complete the project and continue expanding into new markets.
