PAXMAN receives a 10 MSEK line of credit as a financial buffer to enable increased expansion rate in the US
PAXMAN announces that the company has received a 10 MSEK line of credit to be used as a financial buffer for initial costs related to signed contracts in the United States, while at the same time being able to increase the rate of expansion on this important market. The line of credit is estimated to be more than sufficient until the PAXMAN group can deliver a positive cash flow.
"Our strong rate of expansion in the United States has exceeded even our own expectations since our FDA clearance in April last year. This is of course very encouraging, and the demand continues to grow amongst both cancer patients and healthcare providers in different parts of the world that want to use our leading scalp cooling technology", says PAXMAN’s CEO Richard Paxman.
He emphasizes the importance of maintaining momentum in the USA. This short-term financing solution enables PAXMAN to continue to use the company's most successful business model, where PAXMAN provides cooling systems and initial training in exchange for a fixed fee per treatment.
"This line of credit provides us with the confidence and liquidity to execute our growth plans in the United States until the business model starts to provide a significant revenue stream. Based on strong US patient enrolment it may not need to be utilised. However, I want us to be prepared to also win additional major contracts in the United States without creating any concern regarding our financial situation. We see no need to raise additional capital as the cash flow will support our current business plan”, says Richard Paxman.
The 10 MSEK line of credit has been granted by Sparbanken i Karlshamn.
