Candlewood Partners is pleased to announce its role as sell-side advisor in connection with the sale of the assets of UMA Home Décor (“UMA”). The assets of UMA were successfully sold to Deco USA through a foreclosure sale under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
UMA is a leading distributor and supplier of home décor and furnishing products with a rich history spanning over 45 years. Its extensive product offerings included wall décor, accent furniture, sculptures, garden décor, vases, and more.
Candlewood was engaged by the junior lender and ran a full marketing process followed by a foreclosure sale process, marketing the business to over 200 parties. Candlewood managed relationships with various stakeholders involved in the ownership and financing of the business, and ultimately facilitated the auction that resulted in the sale of the assets to Deco USA.
“Our team ran a very thorough process in a difficult economic environment, as the impacts of tariffs created uncertainty and challenges for the business throughout the duration of the marketing process and ultimate foreclosure sale,” said Natan Milgrom, Managing Director of Candlewood Partners. “The ultimate outcome was a positive one for UMA, as its assets were sold to a buyer that will continue to operate the business while positioning the company for future growth.”
