Amerisource Business Capital, the asset-based lending division of Amerisource, announced the closing and funding of a $500,000 line of credit for a marine cargo handling company in Texas.  Proceeds of the facility were used to refinance a smaller existing bank line of credit and to provide additional growth capital.  Under a very experienced management team, the company has achieved rapid growth over the past few years and needed financing in excess of traditional bank limitations.  The company was referred to Amerisource by its legal counsel.
