Do these challenges sound familiar?

Growth is moving forward.
Are your finances keeping pace?

01

Unpredictable cash flow

You lack visibility into upcoming liquidity needs.

02

Credit under pressure

Your line of credit is unavailable or insufficient, and lenders do not see the full value of your business.

03

Growth is underfunded

Receivables and new projects are absorbing too much working capital.

04

Critical decisions fall on you

You are carrying high-stakes financial decisions without senior financial guidance.

You may not simply need another loan. You need financial leadership that can identify the cause, structure the solution and defend your business with lenders.

Frequently asked questions

Before we speak.
Here is what matters.

Clear answers to determine whether our expertise fits your company’s situation and objectives.

01Who are your services designed for?+

We primarily support established SMEs facing growth, restructuring or financial pressure that need more than a simple financing request. Our work is especially relevant when a business must improve its structure, liquidity, credit or lender readiness.

02When should a company call you?+

Typical situations include insufficient working capital, bank financing limits or refusals, excessive debt, tax arrears, weak credit files, rapid growth, multiple loans to consolidate, limited financial visibility or the need for CFO leadership without a permanent hire.

03How does an engagement work?+

We begin with a financial diagnosis, then address structure, liquidity, credit, existing commitments and financing strategy. Once the file is ready, we can present and defend the company with banks, government institutions and alternative lenders.

DiagnosisStrategyRestructuringFinancingFollow-up
04How long does it take to see results?+

Some liquidity solutions can be implemented quickly, while a full restructuring or return to conventional bank financing may require several months. We establish priorities, steps and a realistic timeline at the outset.

05How are your fees determined?+

Fees reflect the nature and complexity of the mandate, the level of support required and the desired outcome. When financing is involved, part of the fee may be tied to the funding obtained. All terms are explained and agreed upon before work begins.
