We helped Easy Signs set up permanent operations in the US
Up until it began exporting, Easy Signs had only ever needed to use equipment finance to fund its operations. When considering its options for its overseas direct investment, decisions were made around whether investors would need to be brought in for more capital base or whether the business could finance the expansion from existing cash flows.
Co-Founder and Director, Adam Parnell explained that it was difficult to secure finance from traditional lenders as they were looking to buy assets offshore, which is when the team approached us at Export Finance Australia.
We provided Easy Signs with an Overseas Direct Investment Loan to set up its operation in the US. The finance supported Easy Signs with the cash flow it needed to grow and enabled the acquisition of the lease for its US factory.
What does Easy Signs say about our support?
“The finance provided by Export Finance Australia was incredibly important. We basically wouldn't be doing this project without it. It was all about creating certainty, making sure that if the business was growing faster than we imagined, we'd be able to acquire the assets that we need.”
