Read MoreThe company’s customer base experienced severe stagnation, and management did not pivot quickly enough to overcome the effects of declining revenues.
When the company defaulted on its line of credit and failed to provide a recovery plan, the bank engaged our experts for help.

We determined the company could not survive until its clients recovered, but would have value to a strategic buyer. The company’s owners agreed with our conclusion, and the business was sold, generating sufficient proceeds to pay the bank in full as well as provide an equity return to the owners.
