Financial Modeling & Restructuring

Cash-flow Management & Debt Restructuring

We develop and implement cash-flow management, profit improvement, and financial restructuring action plans. Our goal of cash management is to ensure that all critical expenses are covered while a survival and recovery plan is being implemented.

In bank workout situations, we our team will help you to establish better cooperation with your lender to allow time for implementing a realistic turnaround plan and to secure reasonable alternative sources of financing.

By engaging an outside firm to provide assistance in these matters, this allows your management to remain focused on running your business efficiently and satisfying customers while plans are developed to improve operating performance and restore a stable capital structure.

Stonebridge works primarily with manufacturing, distribution, and B2B service companies with less than $50 million in revenue with a sweet-spot focus on firms in the $2M-$25M revenue range.

Stonebridge is heavily networked into banks, asset based lenders, and a variety of alternate financing groups which are receptive to offering commercial loans once they are comfortable that the company’s performance issues have been addressed.

We can coach management through the implementation phase of the plan or execute the plan itself if requested to do so. Stonebridge can then monitor performance on an ongoing basis to help the client to keep the company on a profitable growth plan into the future.

Many good companies are experiencing fierce competitive pressures, including companies within Private Equity Portfolio's. Trailing 12 month historical financials may not be indicative of true value. Stonebridge helps your business to improve its competitiveness by eliminating non value adding activities and establishing a scaleable business model and defensible niche which can be expanded into new markets.
