Big Apple Energy purchases Vantage Commodities Financial Services
NEW YORK, May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Big Apple Energy, LLC ("BAE") announced that it has purchased Vantage Commodities Financial Services, LLC ("Vantage"). Founded in 2011, Vantage provides asset-backed funding in the energy sector focusing on accounts receivable and inventory supply financing to energy supply companies ("ESCOs") in the power and gas markets. Vantage has in place a $75,000,000 credit facility with Macquarie Bank Limited ("MBL") that was renewed as part of the transaction.
