Business Closing Consultations
for Owners Under Pressure
Practical guidance to evaluate options, and wind down a business when continued operations are no longer sustainable.
Business Closing Consultations
When Staying Open Is No Longer an Option
Shutting down a business is both emotionally and financially difficult. Most owners don’t start a company expecting to close it, and when circumstances change, it can be extremely stressful and hard to know what to do next—or who to call.
When asked by a lender to help, The Dobbins Company will work with owners who are facing mounting pressure and need a clear path forward. Common situations include:
Most business owners have professionals advising them when they start up (lawyers, accountants, bankers). Far fewer know where to turn when things go south. Having seen business failures up close for over 50 years, we can often help some see through the fog of failure to not make a bad situation worse. That’s where an objective consultation can help.
THE DOBBINS COMPANY IS NOT A LAW FIRM AND WE DO NOT OFFER LEGAL ADVICE.
But we can often fill the void between the bank’s attorneys (who the business owner may not trust) and point out pitfalls we have seen in the past thus maybe helping the owner avoid costly mistakes. Our goal is to help eliminate an adversarial situation whenever possible.
Objective, Confidential Guidance When Your Borrower Needs It Most
In a typical consultation, we focus on understanding where the business stands and what the owner is trying to accomplish. Often the stress of closing and having to deal with a deficiency clouds the mind. Having someone who is not a banker or attorney, and has seen this situation play out time & time again can help business owners make rational decisions.
The Dobbins Company will consult with your borrower at no additional cost when working on a given liquidation, while always keeping the bank’s best interests in mind.
