Twenty years of walking into businesses on the edge.
Marcus Teale spent over a decade as a workout officer at a regional bank, deciding which businesses got another quarter and which didn’t. He’s since spent another decade on the other side of that table, fighting for the businesses instead of against them.
We don’t do soft landings or gentle framing. A rough plan on day three beats a polished one on day thirty — businesses in crisis don’t have thirty days.
Four phases, moving fast on purpose.
Triage
Within 72 hours, a full 13-week cash flow map and a straight answer on whether the business survives the quarter.
Stabilize
Direct negotiation with lenders, landlords, and vendors to buy the time the rebuild plan needs.
Rebuild
A lean operating plan sized to the cash actually on hand, with weekly check-ins until the business is out of the red.
Step back
Once it holds, we hand off the rebuild plan and move to monthly reviews. We’re not built to be a permanent fixture.
We don’t coach healthy businesses to grow.
A strategist helps a healthy business grow. We stabilize a business that’s actively at risk of missing payroll or defaulting on a loan. Different problem, different timeline — and if you’re not there yet, you don’t need us yet.
If it’s this bad, call today, not next week.
Every week you wait costs options. Tell us the number that’s scaring you and we’ll tell you within a day if we can help.
