A rapid-response team that drops into difficult situations to make positive change. We measure success in jobs saved.
We’ve been in these rooms hundreds of times — as advisors, interim executives, and owners who have bought and run distressed businesses ourselves. When a business is under pressure, it comes down to money: making payroll, holding off the bank, and protecting the people who depend on it.
Our job is to steady the situation, protect what you’ve built, and find the path forward.
Half of what we do has always been high growth — and it is the same engagement letter as a turnaround. Why controls and accounting are the defence that wins championships, an introduction to Interim Credit Corp and its move into the United States, The Inner Circle: Deals & Capital returns September 22, and why investors are moved by narrative and not by assets, deals or people.
Another Success from Distress – a CCAA that ended with the lender paid in full and a successful relaunch of a business; why banks only discount debt after a real process; the merchant cash advance death spiral; and beating the investor’s brokerage account.

In the end, the business resolved its regulatory problems and was sold out of the process as a going concern, in a sale that maximized proceeds to stakeholders. Yesterday, our lending partner was repaid in full — principal, fees, and interest.
Closing a bank-debt play most people never think of, why in this business you manufacture the deal, a CRA story that’ll make your stomach drop, and why the details are the deal.
