Platinum Funding Group Comples a Factoring Facility For An Early-Stage Wholesale Distribution Firm.

NEW YORK, NY (PRWeb) Feb. 7, 2007 -- Platinum Funding Group announced the funding of The Kobe Connection,
LLC (“Kobe”) – a start-up venture that is a specialized importer and wholesaler of Wagyu (”Kobe”) beef to upscale
restaurants and hotel chains. Kobe needed a factoring firm to fund its receivables to help jumpstart the business.

Platinum Funding Group financing of Kobe showcases how an early-stage company without a history of performance or
revenue can use accounts receivable factoring services to raise necessary working capital for the operation and growth
of its business without giving up equity or creating debt in the process.

Dina Niron, a business development officer at Platinum Funding Group said that “Kobe is a perfect example of an
early-stage company with huge growth potential yet with limited access to traditional sources of funds. Platinum
provided Kobe with the funds that this new enterprise required to realize its potential.”

Kobe’s customers are located primarily in the New York City area, but also include such clients as the Mirage
Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

"Everyone at Platinum, from my Account Manager to Mr. Eyal Levy, the CEO, is readily accessible and eager to help.
Platinum's professionalism and attentiveness is matched only by their sincere concern for the growth and integrity of
my company” said Michael Tarantula, President of The Kobe Connection, LLC. “Never in my life have I worked with
such a thorough and responsive financial group."
