SMALL BUSINESS PLANNING
&
DEBT RESTRUCTURING
OVERVIEW
Access to cash is the lifeblood of a small business. When managed prudently, it leads to options - options on starting a business, options on where to invest for growth or options on ensuring survival during troughs in the business lifecycle.
Different types of lending opportunities are available in the marketplace, each serving a different purpose in helping borrowers. Determining the right lending option and capital structure, along with a business plan tailor-made to secure the lending facility, can make all of the difference.

Strategy
It is not uncommon for small business owners who are masters at their craft to get stalled when it comes to understanding the dynamics of working with financial institutions and ensuring that what is being presented to raise capital is attractive to lenders or investors. Moreover, having an understanding of lender and investor expectations during a presentation can present a learning curve that can delay raising capital and take away from running the business.
With Fortis Business Advisors we leverage our relationships with financial institutions and investors to ensure that our clients get in front of the best investors for their business, present business and funding plans with capital structures that are effective for the business, ensure that the business itself, and the business and funding plan present a clear path to closing, and present the package alongside our clients. However we are called to assist, be it moving a credit from one bank to another, or helping start a new lender relationship, we stand ready to deliver and work with our clients the final document is signed.
