Helping Businesses Blossom
Debt Consolidation &
Strategic Planning
Our client in the Manufacturing sector was impacted significantly by the downturn in the economy caused by the NCovid19 Pandemic (2020). Cash flows slowed and creditors (particularly banks) were raising concerns about hardcore overdraft facilities and the availability of free cash flow to service debt repayments.
​
Our strategic planning and debt consolidation proposal reignited creditor confidence and allowed for debt consolidation resulting in cheaper interest costs over time. The client’s overdraft liability was hived-off, converted into a long-term loan and the regularized cash flows allowed for greater flexibility. The client is successfully pursuing revenue targets and was able to focus their strategies on business growth, analyzing and remodeling of its cost structure and realizing operational synergies thereby contributing to its competitive advantage.

Business Valuation
Our client is a small business in the retail industry and enjoyed a considerable period of growth and market share. Owing to shareholder differences the parties agreed to separate. We were requested to undertake a business valuation to determine the fair market value of the business. Our work was relied upon to establish the amount of the settlement agreed by the parties.

Our client is a land developer involved with full turn-key projects and requested our assistance to value the project to secure financing. We assessed the project, prepared cash flow models, forecasts, sensitivity analysis (i.e., what-if scenarios) and ultimately project end-value that was used relied upon and used by a consortium of financiers. Our client has completed this particular project and has commenced another.

Debt Management & Settlement
Our client involved in Real Estate (land development and construction) found itself facing the bank’s demand for immediate debt repayment. The slow down in the local economy due to depressed oil and natural gas prices impacted the client’s cash flows and ultimately their ability to service their debt obligations.
​
We assisted our client by reviewing the business model and advised on debt financing proposals. The second stage of this exercise involved our negotiation for the sale of business segments and land assets to third parties to liquidate the same in full and final settlement of the debt obligation.
​
Our client resumed their business activities and continues to enjoy success.

Tax Appeal
Our client in the construction sector was audited by the Board of Inland Revenue for several periods over several years in respect of its VAT declarations. Assessments were raised and objected to however the Board in its discretion declined, neglected and/or failed to respond.
​
Total estimated liabilities based on the notices of assessment at the time was in excess of $5M. Some 10 years later we coordinated the tax appeal and engaged Mr. Anil V. Maraj and his team of attorneys (CV2020-02592) to handle the matter and was successful.
​
The Board had also erroneously applied subsequent VAT refunds to its assessed (and objected) liabilities throughout the 10 year period inclusive of interest applied. The court ruled in our client's favor and adjudicated that the Board must repay the several VAT refunds unilaterally applied to the liabilities raised (and objected) and also that several of the objections were determined in favor of our client with costs awarded.
