“We decided to use Golub Capital to provide the subordinated debt financing for our acquisition of Corner Bakery because of their strong historical support of Il Fornaio, good rapport with management and their familiarity with the restaurant industry and the capital needs of restaurant investors. Golub Capital was able to quickly evaluate the Corner Bakery opportunity and get comfortable with our integration plan. They delivered a fast commitment on aggressive terms that allowed us to lock up the deal.”
