J.S. Held Strengthens Forensic Accounting Expertise for Marital and Commercial Disputes with Acquisition of Forensic Accountants & Consultants
Read MoreA Midwest-based farm operated approximately 10,000 acres dedicated to corn and soybean production. An affiliated custom silage company also produced animal feed marketed to local elevators and processors. Our team was retained to assess the business’s liquidity and market a refinancing opportunity involving the assets securing the crop farm. The disclosed credit facility totaled $26.7M.
Our team prepared a business assessment for the senior lender and developed a monthly financial model covering the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, and projected borrowing base and liquidity. We also evaluated the company’s strategic alternatives and worked with the senior lender and other stakeholders to facilitate an out-of-court restructuring and asset monetization process. Our approach resulted in the repayment of most of the senior lender’s outstanding debt.
