Regaining Trust in Your Borrower
|
|
Fraud ≠ Write-off
When an asset based lender discovered a borrower was inflating its borrowing base values, the lender retained Brandlin & Associates to conduct due diligence so a strategy could be developed. Specifically, the lender needed to know if the borrower, which was suffering from operating losses and tight liquidity, could operate profitability based on management’s financial forecast.
B&A’s in-depth analysis included assessing the reasonableness of forecast assumptions based on actual results, and vetting the 13-week cash flow forecast and collateral roll-forward.
|
|
Outcome:
We concluded that the company could operate profitability based on forecasted backlog, bringing comfort to the lender that the company was viable and could service its debt.
|
|
Update:
7 months later, the company was ahead of budget and had improved liquidity. The lender expects to retain the credit until loan maturity.
