About the Company
Autism F.I.R.S.T. and Family Insight P.C. operate as integrated behavioral healthcare organizations focused on delivering evidence-based mental health and Applied Behavior Analysis (“ABA”) services to children, families, and individuals across Virginia and surrounding markets.
Family Insight provides comprehensive outpatient behavioral health and counseling services designed to support individuals experiencing mental health, emotional, and behavioral challenges. The organization’s mission centers on enhancing the well-being of families and individuals through evidence-based counseling interventions and community-focused care. Services include outpatient therapy, intensive in-home counseling, mental health support programs, telehealth services, and substance abuse treatment programs tailored to children, adolescents, adults, and families.
Through its partnership with Autism F.I.R.S.T., the organization has expanded its specialized ABA therapy platform focused on children with autism spectrum disorder. Autism F.I.R.S.T. delivers individualized behavioral therapy services designed to improve communication, social interaction, adaptive behavior, and long-term developmental outcomes. The platform emphasizes high-quality clinical care, innovation, and measurable patient outcomes through evidence-based treatment methodologies.
The combined organization operates with a mission-driven approach rooted in compassionate care, clinical excellence, and community impact. Supported by an experienced leadership team, the platform has continued to scale operations while maintaining a strong commitment to improving access to behavioral healthcare services. Jeff Shiring, Chairman of Autism F.I.R.S.T., brings decades of executive leadership and financial expertise to the organization, helping guide its strategic growth and operational expansion.
Situation
As the organization continued to expand its behavioral health and ABA therapy platform, management sought a financing solution that would strengthen the Company’s capital structure and provide additional operational flexibility. Specifically, the Company required capital to retire an existing earn-out obligation while also providing enough working capital to support continued expansion and day-to-day liquidity needs.
Given the Company’s recurring insurance reimbursement revenue model and strong accounts receivable base, ownership sought a flexible financing structure that could scale alongside the organization’s continued growth trajectory.
Jeff Shiring engaged Alantes Corporate Finance (“Alantes”) to structure a financing solution aligned with the Company’s operational profile and long-term strategic objectives.
Solution
Alantes worked closely with management to structure and secure a $1,500,000 accounts receivable line of credit tailored to the Company’s reimbursement cycle and working capital requirements. The revolving facility provided immediate liquidity to retire the outstanding earnout obligation while also enhancing operational flexibility through additional available working capital.
The financing structure was specifically designed to align with the Company’s recurring receivables and ongoing growth initiatives, allowing the organization to continue investing in clinical operations, staffing, and service expansion while maintaining balance sheet stability.
“Alantes understood the complexity of our business and delivered a financing solution that directly addressed both our immediate and long-term needs,” said Jeff Shiring, Chairman of Autism F.I.R.S.T. “The new facility gives us the flexibility to continue growing our platform while remaining focused on delivering high-quality care and positive outcomes for the families we serve.”
With the new capital structure in place, Autism F.I.R.S.T. and Family Insight are well-positioned to continue expanding access to behavioral health and ABA services while supporting long-term operational growth and clinical excellence.
