Madison Street Capital Investment Bank alternative lending white paper kdcunha
Alternative lending sources provide capital options for lower to middle market companies that are often deemed "unbankable" by commercial banks. These alternative lenders include specialty finance companies, credit hedge funds, business development companies, mezzanine lenders, private equity funds, and special situation funds. While alternative lending can fill capital gaps, the costs are typically higher, including high interest rates in the teens to low 20s, restrictive covenants, equity components, high fees, and personal guarantees. However, for some businesses, the rewards of accessing capital to pursue opportunities outweigh the costs of doing nothing or the inability to access traditional bank loans.

"Factoring: A Vital Source of Cash to Keep A Supply Chain Moving." - Journal ...Chris Lehnes
The success of nearly every business is dependent on its supply chain. Whether a neighborhood restaurant securing fresh produce from a local farmers market in time for tonight’s menu or a high-tech manufacturer which procures microchips from Asia ordered months in advance, a business will quickly fail if it is unable to reliably obtain the components of their product in time to meet their customers’ expectations.
There are myriad conditions which can disrupt that supply chain. Some of which can be as isolated as local traffic delaying a delivery truck on the last mile of its journey or as far-reaching as a natural disaster which can close ports or destroy the facility of key supplier causing a disruption which may require a business owner to rethink how it acquires its inventory going forward.
Over time, to reduce costs and increase efficiency, the links in many supply chains have become increasingly specialized. This customization has resulted in their rigidity. A supplier of one specific component can often not readily adapt to supply others. During the (hopefully) once-in-a-generation supply chain disruptions brought on the COVID-19 pandemic, many were surprised to learn that the factory which produces toilet paper for sale to commercial property managers cannot easily adapt and package their product for consumers, or the meatpacking plant which can cut and package chicken for bulk sale to restaurants has no simple way to prepare that same poultry for sale to supermarket shoppers.
This inflexibility can at times result in a business having fewer options to fill an unexpected gap in their supply chain, putting suppliers in a powerful position to place, at times, onerous demands on their customers.
Those demands can severely disrupt a business. Knowing substitutions for their product are limited, suppliers may prioritize their top customers, making it harder for smaller customers to procure necessary components. In other cases, suppliers may require large deposits with orders or refuse to offer payment terms at all to customers, insisting upon payment up-front with a purchase order. These payment conditions will create a demand for cash earlier in a company’s production cycle.
This demand can be met in a few ways. If the business is highly profitable, it may generate sufficient cash from operations to satisfy this cash needs. In other cases, a business will have access to a line of credit from their bank or an asset-based credit facility from a non-bank lender to meet these cash needs as they arise.
However, most readers of this publication tend to have clients who are not flush with cash or those which may have a lender in place today who is no longer comfortable with the performance of the business and is reducing the size of their credit facility or pressuring them to find a funding alternative. For those clients, factoring may be their best option to meet the cash flow challenges presented by their supply chain.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
