Financial Restructurings

Financial Restructuring If your company is experiencing liquidity issues, it pays to work with a financial advisory firm with the experience and common sense to carefully consider all options. The principals of Craft have decades of experience, advising our clients through the ups and downs of multiple economic cycles. Craft has advised numerous companies with the goal of establishing a more stable capital structure for stakeholders. Our experience includes refinancing existing bank debt, divesting underperforming assets, out-of-court creditor negotiations, and in-court Chapter 11 plans of reorganizations and in-court Section 363 asset sales.

Financial  Restructuring  

Closet World "My client required a sophisticated financial advisor with competency in both financial restructuring and raising capital as well as the flexibility to adapt to a very fluid situation. Craft managed the process very effectively in conjunction with the company’s management, communicating with adverse stakeholders in an effective manner yet insuring the integrity of the process while maximizing value. After a successful acquisition of the senior debt involving the majority shareholder, Craft was instrumental in creating a win-win transaction for the new lender, owner operator, and company management. I would recommend Craft for any client in need of goal oriented complex financial advisory services."

Chris Reeder, Outside Corporate and Litigation Counsel, Home Organizers and subsidiaries

Pacific High Reach "I served as bankruptcy counsel to Pacific High Reach, which was a large equipment leasing company, in what was a very contentious chapter 11 bankruptcy case. Craft did an absolutely great job identifying prospective buyers, negotiating the $17.4 million sale price with Sunbelt Rentals, and assisting in the consummation of that sale. I would strongly recommend Craft for any investment banking engagement."
