Cash is the lifeblood of any business. We are specialists in raising various types of finance for businesses that are underperforming or are financially distressed or in crisis and need immediate help.
In our experience companies which are underperforming or within some part of a regrowth | recovery cycle, find it difficult if not impossible to raise additional finance to make their regrowth, renewal or recovery strategy work.
Existing funders may have instructed accountants to carry out an ‘independent business review’( “IBR”) which may have come to an unsatisfactory conclusion – perhaps due to a lack of understanding of the business, the model, its inherent value and commercial potential. Potential new funders may require historic trading accounts and be reluctant to provide additional support or rebank your business due to a variety of factors.
It is very essential to appreciate and accept that banks need to follow sensible and responsible recovery procedures as they like you need to maximise their security and minimise their exposure and in essence protect their interests. We also believe that if they are not prepared to invest in your business should you be risking further investment of your own without a formal restructuring.
Unfortunately, their prudent banking needs and recovery objectives very often do not match the businesses needs in a crisis.
The good news is there are alternatives and we can help you find them. This is the time you should contact us – We are here and can help you.
We specialise in turnaround fund raising. It is a pre-requisite to make a solvent or an insolvent turnaround work. We have done this successfully for many years.
Most turnarounds and restructurings require the injection of fresh capital and the difficulty is there’s usually not that much finance around in the timescales of a turnaround when a business is in a financial crisis.
There are very few funders who specialise in distressed equity investment and to a lesser extent distressed debt and that in its self is a real challenge.
However – a major part of our success has been to introduce clients to the appropriate turnaround financiers that have the experience and appetite to invest in and lend to underperforming businesses and in distressed and crisis situations.
Our extensive contacts with turnaround financiers and our reputation and long track record with them means that we have unparalleled access to funding solutions.
