MCA Structures Sale of $80M E-Commerce Business Under Tight Time Horizon

By June 24, 2026Insights
The buyer of what had been an $80 million nationwide e-commerce consumer products business was dealing with a dramatic decrease in sales over the first three years of ownership and wanted to shutter the business. With the company threatening to turn over the keys within weeks, the lender brought in MCA to pull together a plan to keep the business open while structuring a quick sale to preserve their position.

Although the owners were fatigued with a business that was losing money, MCA worked with them to ensure continued operations through the sale process, immediately engaging with current management and identifying buyers who were willing to close quickly. MCA led the full sale process, including due diligence, negotiation of an asset purchase agreement (APA), and a post-closing transition services agreement (TSA) to ensure the buyer would have access to the systems and people necessary to continue operations and transition the business.

MCA’s nimbleness to coordinate parties to effectuate the sale of assets in less than two months, and their ability to negotiate with multiple parties, resulted in a resolution meeting all the constituents’ goals. Behind the scenes, MCA quickly grasped the key issues with the business to be prepared with a strategy in case the borrower decided to discontinue operations and follow through on their threat to “turn over the keys.”

Working with the lender, the lender’s counsel, and the borrower, MCA effectively coordinated the due diligence, documentation and closing, meeting client expectations and enabling the lender to not only continue to receive payments but also participate in any future upside.
