Turnaround and Business Restructuring: Navigating Business Finance Challenges 

 

 

 

The Urgency of Turnaround 

 

The business financing turnaround, commonly called 'restructuring finance,' becomes necessary when companies find themselves on the brink of failure. The ability to turn your company around focuses on several key issues, not the least of which is 'new' money or refinancing. The goal? Eliminate crisis management and turn a business into a 'performer'. Let's dig in.

 

Turnaround and restructuring financing are critical for businesses facing financial challenges. Let the 7 Park Avenue Financial team deliver on funding that will help restore profitability and stability.

 

Assessing the Situation

 

While a firm could be viewed as 'stagnant' in many cases, it’s, unfortunately, a bit more dramatic than that. Whether it’s a people or a monetary solution, the 'fix' is needed, but the solution is unclear. A firm can be merged or acquired into a new entity in more dramatic circumstances.

 

 

Beyond Finance 

 

While financial fixes and business financing solutions are almost always required, it's important to note that issues such as management, industry dynamics, and competition are other critical factors in long-term success.

 

 

Financial Solutions for Turnaround Strategies 

 

 

 

Revisiting Operating Credit Line Needs 

 

Revisiting operating credit line needs via a bank or Asset-based lender.

 

A/R Financing / Inventory Finance

 

Unsecured Cash Flow Loans

 

Equipment Finance and Sale Leasebacks

 

Term Loans Secured by Assets or Cash Flow

 

 

In many cases, combining different financial solutions will bring a total solution.

 

The Role of Traditional Financing

 

More than ever, the 2008-2009 financial crisis reemphasized that traditional financing can almost always not meet the needs of a turnaround. And let's not forget COVID-19 and the higher rate environment of 2024. Bottom line: Traditional bank-type financing is not mandated to fund financial distress—simple as that. Even high hyper-growth is rarely financeable by banks, whether financial losses or balance sheet issues are evident.

 

The Common Fix: Asset-Based Lending

 

Many companies are already close to the brink and find themselves in 'special loans' in tanks and other lenders' workout departments. If there is one finance solution that's more commonly a fix than others in restructuring finance, it's the ABL (asset-based lending) solution. That can come in the form of fixed asset financing or, more often than not, a total facility that refinances your receivables, inventory, and fixed assets up to and including any applicable real estate.

 

The Cost of Asset Finance

 

Asset finance can often quickly fix situations where access to operating credit is either limited or nonexistent despite the continued ability to generate sales.

 

Asset Based lending in the wake of a turnaround situation will always be more expensive than traditional finance.
