The Company

Sponsor-backed document scanning company that provides an array of workflow optimization services. The Company’s scanning service model, coupled with its cloud-based data hosting platform, enables it to transform physical documents to actionable digital data for its customers. Recurring Revenue: $12.5MM | Services Revenue: $3MM.

The Financing Situation

For the past few years, the Company was focused on developing its technology platform and implementing several key channel partnerships. Though the Company expects these dynamics to be fruitful in the long-term, the short-term effect was a decrease in profitability. The Company’s existing lender had provided a traditional asset-based line of credit based on eligible accounts receivable. This structure did not provide the Company with the flexibility it needed to expand sales and marketing initiatives through its new channel partnerships. Lender and borrower fatigue set in, so the Company went to market to find a debt partner that could a) look for value beyond just the assets, and b) scale with it as it executed on its growth strategy.

The Solution

SG was able to get comfortable with the Company’s strong pipeline of contracted revenue, return to profitability, revenue retention rate greater than 90%, and plethora of expansion opportunities through its new channel partnerships. SG provided a senior secured, $3MM growth capital loan structured around recurring revenue, proforma cash flow and total leverage.
