“We are grateful to have Republic’s financial support for the seasonal liquidity needs in our industry,” said, its CEO. “This facility will help us fill crucial gaps in cashflow to not only stabilize payment cycles, but also reach goals we are confident we can achieve with this funding.”
While the company was historically profitable, it began facing industry-wide difficulties that led to a decline in revenue. To compensate for the unexpected shift in profitability, the company successfully sold one of its business lines. However, after the sale, its previous bank was no longer willing to support the company.
The company was still required to make significant, semi-annual royalty payments, even with payments coming in slowly from key customers. The company had utilized the expertise of certified turnaround and restructuring consultant, KFK Advisors, to develop its turnaround and restructuring plan. KFK’s managing partner and established turnaround professional, Kevin Kelly, referred the company to Republic.
Republic’s funding provided the liquidity solution for the royalty payments, in addition to working capital funding for the company as they are paid up to 120 days after sale by select customers. Republic also provided an 85% advance rate. This funding solution ultimately allows the company to focus on its business and will support its turnaround plan in 2023 and 2024.
“We are confident our recourse factoring facility will help this business by providing liquidity to manage their operations,” said Republic’s SVP, William Kemp. “We are happy to help an independently-operated business in the Midwest that provides important educational materials to so many key age groups.”
“Turnaround consultants, Kevin in particular, allow us to partner with companies that we might not otherwise be able to support,” said Robert Meyers, Republic’s President. He added, “Kevin Kelly is a great advocate for his clients, understands their businesses and tends to help across their various financial, accounting, operational and people development needs.”
Republic Business Credit is a proud sponsor of the Turnaround Management Association (TMA), and partners with turnaround consultants to serve businesses experiencing recoverable distress. Republic’s President, Robert Meyers, was the President of the TMA’s Chicago/Midwest Chapter in 2019 and William Kemp has been a board member and volunteer for more than ten years in both the Houston and Midwest Chapters of the TMA.

In the wake of the devastating wildfires that hit the Maui, Hawaii community last month, Michelle Kazami, a Maui resident and DJ is harnessing the strength of the DJ community as she works with brands such as Pioneer DJ to give back to the place that nurtured her talents.
TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In the wake of the devastating wildfires that hit the Maui, Hawaii community last month, Michelle Kazami, a Maui resident and DJ is harnessing the strength of the DJ community as she works with brands such as Pioneer DJ to give back to the place that nurtured her talents.
Since starting her DJ career in 2021, Kazami has quickly risen to share stages with industry heavyweights at Maui’s renowned venues and locations worldwide. Within a year of picking up her first controller, a Pioneer DJ DDJ-400, Kazami found herself performing in various Maui venues including a local favorite, Dirty Monkey, and at Maui’s largest venue, Da Playground. These gave her opportunities to play alongside artists such as Ship Wrek and Markus Schulz. Unfortunately, the wildfires affected Da Playground, Dirty Monkey, and other venues, Kazami also lost her home and equipment, but despite her loss, she is confident that Maui’s strong community will see one another through this difficult time.
After the fires, many artists have relocated to other islands or the mainland to plan their path forward as Maui rebuilds. During this time, Kazami has worked with DJ Hapa, founder of The DJ Coach program, which offers DJ lessons to artists worldwide. Kazami and DJ Hapa met through a free seven day course that was included with her controller, since then, Kazami has continued with the program while working closely with DJ Hapa. Together, DJ Hapa, Kazami and Pioneer DJ worked to provide support to local DJs and venues to help these performers get back on their feet by driving awareness to the donation funds.
“The DJ community as a whole is such a resilient group. As a DJ, your ability to read the room and adjust your performance based on the circumstances is key. I saw that skill exercised during the pandemic as artists found unique ways to continue sharing their sounds and connecting with the community. I have no doubt that Maui and its artists will be able to bounce back stronger than before,” DJ Hapa, founder of The DJ Coach, added. “The tight-knit community continues to look out for one another as they try to find ways to make a living.”
“Michelle is a perfect example of how wonderfully unpredictable someone’s DJ journey can be and how one’s passion can open the doors to new opportunities.” John Powell, President of Alpha Theta Americas Inc. added. “The resilience the people of Maui have shown is inspirational and reflects the power of a strong community.”
To support artists and workers who relied financially on their gigs throughout the Maui area, Da Playground created a donation page including Venmo information to directly donate to artists and individuals associated with the affected venues. The donation page can be found at https://linktr.ee/dpgmauiexclusive.
