CFO raises £500k turnaround finance for company proposing a CVA

Turnaround Capital Case Study – new funding from Ultimate Finance
An engineering client based in the West Midlands has had a CVA successfully approved with our sister company KSA Group advising.

The company manufactures cranes and undertakes associated engineering projects. Our client approached us for a new finance facility. Although it had a strong order book it had a failed contract that led to losses approaching £500,000. Post CVA it exited that contract this allowed headcount to be reduced, we also encouraged management to refocus on smaller profitable crane sales and works.   Forecast sales will fall to £5m in 2018.
The Ultimate team was excellent to deal with & helped the deal with creditors get approved, by agreeing to provide a written funding offer to the company & KSA as CVA nominee/supervisors. This gave creditors confidence that the necessary working capital was available to the board post CVA approval. As we had expected the existing (clearing ) bank lender withdrew the funding of the invoice finance facility as soon as the CVA was approved, thankfully we had already asked Ultimate to take this facility out.

A new confidential invoice discounting £500k facility was provided. 52 engineering, admin and management jobs were saved.
