The Financing Community – “Banks vs Lenders” • Traditional “bankers” will always lend money when they have cash flow and operating net income. Use a multiple of net income to set the loan amount to finance great small profitable companies. • These “business banking” loans have an annual “clean up” component to them which puts financial stress on the company at year end but always reduces the banks loan exposure to “zero” at this time in the year. • These “business banking” loans take blanket liens against the company’s Balance Sheet ( AR, Inventory & M/E ) assets which further enhances the bank’s credit structure and loan exposure. • True “lenders” will fund into companies that have experienced a “financial transition”. • Lenders will finance companies based on Balance Sheet collateral and not cash flow and net income to support their loans • Lastly, lenders take the truest form of risk in their financing of small companies by funding into losses and negative tangible net worth.
Why Small Companies Seek Financing – “Event Driven” • Business owners enter the financing marketplace and will ask for your expertise in raising capital due to two specific events that have occurred or are occurring……………… • FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING – TURNAROUND FINANCING • GROWTH CAPITAL
