Salem Five Business Credit Provides $15 Million Senior Credit Facility to Ockers Technologies
Salem Five Bank Extends $6 Million Credit Facility to Arocam Sports
Arocam Sports is a leader in the direct-to-consumer youth sports uniforms and equipment space, tracing its roots to its 1994 acquisition and launch of WeGotSoccer. With additional locations in Florida, Texas and California, the company has retail and ecommerce operations serving youth sports organizations and local communities.
The relationship with Salem Five arrived through a connection between Arocam Sports CEO Michael O’Connor and Keith Broyles, Senior Vice President , leading the Business Credit team that Salem Five launched earlier in 2025. Michael Richardson, VP of Asset-Based Lending, served as Salem Five’s commercial loan officer responsible for the transaction.
“Here at Salem Five Business Credit, we take the time to listen to our prospective new clients, gaining an understanding of a client’s operating cycle and growth plans, then we structure a credit facility that provides the right amount of liquidity and flexibility to help that client achieve its goals,” Broyles said. “We’re excited to support a local Massachusetts company that plays an important role for youth sports organizations and families in the communities it serves.”
The $6 million revolving line will be used for inventory and operating needs tied to seasonal ordering patterns across youth sports organizations, while positioning the company to move quickly on opportunities that arise and align with corporate objectives.
"Salem Five came highly recommended as we were looking for a banking partner that could handle the growth we were experiencing. Coordination across all internal teams was seamless allowing us to bring our banking relationship online in a very timely manner,” said O’Connor. “Our move to Salem Five has met all of our expectations and we are looking forward to partnering with them as we continue to grow."
