FINANCE:
The PLG team’s expertise and skills go beyond strictly transportation and supply chain management. We also bring to clients expertise in financing mechanisms for logistics investments, including facilities development, assets (i.e. railcars), and physical plant. We can also bring to the table various capital sources, including private equity, with specific interest in transportation and logistics companies.
|
A. Investments/developments | |
| Facilities, assets, plant expansions, terminals | ||
| B. Sale-leaseback | ||
|
Under this approach, PLG and affiliated investors may purchase property or assets to be developed, execute that development on a turnkey basis, and then lease the developed assets or properties back to the client. The advantages of this approach are 1. cash infusion to the client as a result of the sale, and 2. the development expense becomes an operating expense rather than a capital expense | |
| C. Structured finance (capital projects) | ||
| We encourage clients to contact us as a potential financing source for capital investments in logistics infrastructure | ||
| D. Private equity (LBO, recaps, growth capital) | ||
| Our team members have extensive relationships within the private equity markets, and can utilize our industry expertise to facilitate resources | ||
| E. Mergers & acquisitions | ||
a. Opportunity sourcing Using our exhaustive knowledge of chemical and plastics transportation and distribution, PLG can assist parties interested in acquiring, selling, or merging companies already active within this market. We can quickly identify targets, perform discrete inquiries, and bring parties together. b. Management teams Relationships are key in this industry, and PLG can rapidly identify and assemble top quality, experienced talent for virtually any organization. We can also assist in evaluating existing management groups within companies that are targets for acquisition, sale, or merger. c. Due diligence PLG is able to assist in evaluating not only hard assets of firms operating in the chemicals transportation market, but also evaluate relative market standing, strengths and weaknesses, and future growth potential. |
