INSOLVENCY FINANCIAL ADVISOR
FINANCIAL ADVISORY FOR INSOLVENCY
When a business or a real estate's solvency is in question, our Financial Advisory unravels financial information to facilitate informed, corrective action. Banks and alternative lenders call us when a borrower’s performance deteriorates. Shareholders and their counsel call us when a business’s cash flow or valuation is in dispute. Or the debtors in possession in the Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings want to submit the reorganization plan along with liquidation analysis.
We cut through the noise to determine current and projected cash flow, allowing the parties involved to determine:
- Is the business/real estate viable?
- Should additional funds be advanced?
- Can the business be right-sized?
- Should the business file Chapter 11?
Our full-spectrum of Financial Advisory Services are efficiently provided by an experienced team of turnaround professionals, accountants, fiduciaries and industry specialists.
