Situation
As Powell Planning & Consulting continued to expand its presence within the nuclear project management and consulting industry, the Company sought additional capital to support its ongoing operations and provide greater flexibility as it pursued new business opportunities.
Given the specialized nature of the Company’s work and the project-driven characteristics of the nuclear services industry, management sought a financing structure that would provide both stable long-term capital and readily available working capital. Daniel Barnwell and Ronald Poe engaged Alantes Corporate Finance (“Alantes”) to develop a financing solution aligned with the Company’s operating model and continued growth objectives.
Solution
Alantes worked closely with Powell Planning and Consulting’s management team to structure and secure a $1,000,000 financing package consisting of a $750,000 SBA Term Loan and a $250,000 SBA Express Line of Credit.
The term loan provides Company with stable, long-term financing, while the SBA Express Line of Credit provides additional flexibility to manage working capital requirements and support the Company’s ongoing operations. Together, the facilities provide management with greater financial flexibility as the Company continues to expand its client relationships and pursue additional opportunities within the nuclear industry.
“Alantes took the time to understand the specialized nature of our business and the unique requirements of the industry we operate in,” said Daniel Barnwell. “They developed a financing structure with a financing partner that gives us the stability of long-term capital while also providing the flexibility we need as we continue to grow. Their team was thoughtful and responsive throughout the process.”
Ronald Poe added, “The financing gives us a stronger foundation to continue building the business. Alantes understood our objectives and worked with us to develop a solution that fits the way we operate and provides us with the flexibility to pursue future opportunities.”
With the new financing package in place, Powell Planning & Consulting is positioned to continue expanding its specialized nuclear planning and project management capabilities while maintaining its commitment to transparency, competence, dependability, and high-quality client service.
