SAN FRANCISCO, APRIL 2013 – US Capital Partners, LLC has provided an accounts receivable line of credit scalable to $5 million together with a $1 million inventory line of credit for Suki, LLC (“Suki”), doing business as OhMiBod®. Suki is the creator of the original iPod® vibrator.US Capital Partners is a private investment bank that makes direct debt investments, participates in debt facilities, and arranges equity placements for small to lower middle market companies.

“We are delighted to have secured this timely financing,” said Brian Dunham, CEO at Suki. “With sales ready to escalate following TV celebrity endorsements and our home-party business model, we required additional working capital to support our current and future inventory needs. We therefore approached US Capital Partners to place a scalable accounts receivable line of credit and an inventory line of credit.”

“Companies with significantly higher inventory than accounts receivable are generally declined by traditional lenders,” said Jeffrey Sweeney, CEO and Managing Director at US Capital Partners. “Inventory and accounts receivable lenders will usually advance financing principally on accounts receivable, and only modestly on inventory based on trailing sales, this being an indicator of inventory credit strength for inventory advances. US Capital Partners is one of the very few lenders in the marketplace that can close a deal where the ratio of inventory to accounts receivable is ‘upside down.’ We are very pleased to have financed this innovative US business.”

We are proud to provide monthly assistance to the San Francisco Food Bank, an organization that has been fighting hunger in San Francisco and Marin for the past 25 years. Recently, the struggles people have faced as a result of the recession and slow recovery have necessitated herculean efforts from organizations focused on providing food to the hungry.

Despite the difficulties, people have responded with an outpouring of support. Thanks to the efforts of thousands of community donors, volunteers, and employees, the Food Bank has distributed an impressive amount of food to those in need. In 2011, for instance, the SF Food Bank served 225,000 people and distributed an average of 100,000 meals a day.

The need for food, however, has not subsided. The SF Food Bank estimates that one in four people in the Marin and San Francisco area is underfed, while the number of people who are at risk of being underfed has doubled since 2008. Donations are needed now more than ever, and US Capital Partners plans to continue its commitment to feeding the hungry in San Francisco, Marin, and abroad.
