A struggling company’s weak financial position usually leads to adversarial relationships with its lenders and creditors.

In fear that their loan is at risk, distressed company executives start to avoid communicating with their lender. At the same time, they can’t pay their bills to their vendors, which leads to being on COD or CIA terms, so they avoid contact with their vendors out of embarrassment. This situation can only get worse.

The professionals at Manchester Companies have assisted hundreds of clients in similar situations to diffuse the anger and mistrust in lender and creditor relationships, and then negotiate new terms to refinance debt and / or restructure trade creditor debt. We ask our clients a myriad of questions to understand the details of their lender agreements and trade creditor relationships, such as whether there are any personal guarantees on the bank loan and if the lender’s secured collateral is less than the outstanding loan balance. When we understand the details, we will present a plan to the client’s lender(s) and creditors to work out a solution that all parties agree will be successful.
