Amerisource Reports New Business Results for the Second Quarter of 2011
Release date: July 7, 2011
“Market conditions continue to be tough for small and middle market businesses seeking traditional bank financing, and many of these business owners have a markedly negative outlook on future credit availability,” said D. Michael Monk, managing director. “Amerisource continues to provide a stable, reliable and cost-effective alternative or supplement to traditional bank lines of credit. Even in these difficult times, our flexible financing structures allow entrepreneurs the ability to not only finance existing business, but also to grow. I’m pleased to say that we continue to have great success in finding and approving new clients, and our pipeline of new business remains strong.”
With nearly $3 billion in A/R financed and aggregate historic bad debt losses of less than 0.12%, Amerisource continues to be one of the largest independent commercial finance companies in the country.
Details on some of these new clients can be found below.

- The Company’s bank line of credit not large enough to finance the Company’s continuing business growth

Situation
- Manufacturer of ceramic igniters and gas ignition safety controls; in business since 1972
- Company had a $3.9 million working capital facility with a local bank
- After several acquisitions, this Company needed to increase its credit facility, but its bank was unable to do so
Approval Period: 5 business days, additional 6 to fund
Result: This manufacturer was expanding more quickly than its existing bank line of credit could handle, and it needed addtional funds for continued growth. Amerisource approved a $7,000,000 credit facility and gave the Company access to the working capital it needed to continue financing its growth. Business has ignited, and the Company is prepared for a red-hot year!
