The Situation

The client was a privately held $6.5 million Security Guard Service provider based in Pennsylvania.

Due to poorly managed contracts, unsupervised overtime, and deteriorating profits, the Company had defaulted on a loan agreement. The Company’s senior lender was growing concerned regarding the Company’s declining cash position.

How We Advised

Our experts initiated an operational assessment and developed a 13-week cash flow forecast. This action gained the bank’s support while we went to work on the Company’s operational issues. Our team reviewed every customer contract, and made changes in staffing, overtime and pricing, which returned the Company to profitability in 60 days. We then refinanced the Company’s debt and, for the next several years, the Company realized 15% annualized revenue growth.
