San Francisco-based finance firm arranges asset-based credit facility, supporting Sonoma County producer’s push into new markets and innovation

BizCap, a national commercial finance and advisory firm based in San Francisco, has announced the successful arrangement of an asset-based growth capital credit facility for 3 Badge Beverage, a privately held producer of premium spirits and wines. The deal was made public this week through a company statement.

3 Badge Beverage, founded in 2009 and led by August Sebastiani, is known for its diverse portfolio of award-winning brands. The company produces gin, rum, and wine, distributing its products both in the United States and internationally. Sebastiani, a fourth-generation vintner, continues his family’s legacy in the wine industry by focusing on innovation and craftsmanship.

The new funding secured by BizCap will provide working capital to support 3 Badge Beverage’s ongoing expansion efforts. The company plans to use the capital to strengthen its presence in existing markets and pursue growth opportunities abroad. According to Sebastiani, BizCap played a key role in guiding the company through the financing process. He noted that BizCap’s team presented curated term sheets and helped compare options, making it easier for 3 Badge Beverage to select a lender that aligned with its long-term goals.

Sebastiani also credited BizCap’s CEO Richard Zeller and his own team for their contributions to the successful outcome. He highlighted BizCap’s attention to detail and follow-up throughout the process, which he said helped ensure a smooth transaction.

BizCap has a track record of providing tailored capital solutions for middle-market companies across the country. Weston Weinberg, an associate at BizCap, described 3 Badge Beverage as a strong organization with deep roots in Sonoma County and significant potential for further growth. Weinberg said that delivering this financing solution would help propel 3 Badge Beverage into its next phase of development.

The transaction adds to BizCap’s reputation as a trusted partner for companies seeking creative financing structures, especially when traditional sources of capital are not available. Since its founding in 2002, BizCap has specialized in non-dilutive credit-based solutions for rapidly growing or challenged businesses that require customized financial arrangements.

In addition to its work in commercial finance, BizCap supports Team IMPACT, a national nonprofit organization that connects children facing serious illnesses with local college athletic teams. This partnership reflects BizCap’s commitment to community engagement alongside its business activities.

The new credit facility is expected to help 3 Badge Beverage continue building on its legacy while expanding its reach in both domestic and international markets. The company remains focused on developing high-quality products and maintaining its reputation for excellence within the wine and spirits industry.
