If a business owner owes multiple creditors, has judgments, etc, financing is probably not possible.
A consultant can do little to help this business.
“Our counselors will work with a company to develop an overall plan, but if the company has limited cash flow and is seriously in debt, there is little we can do.”
- Ken Yancey CEO

When you introduce a debtor to Corporate Turnaround that becomes a paying client, there are four crucial benefits to our:
Creditor Alliance If you are holding any type of lien on assets such as equipment vital to the
survival of the debtor’s business - CT can help the debtor to restructure the debts of the subordinated creditors therefore reducing your need to liquidate the asset.
If you are holding any type of lien on assets which are not vital to the survival of the debtor’s business or you are an unsecured creditor - Our Highest Priority Creditor Program helps debtors pay you favorably ahead of other creditors. As the Highest Priority Creditor, you will receive settlement offers before the other creditors, and your offers will be more favorable than those received by the other creditors.
You will gain valuable information about the debtor at no cost to you - Even if the debtor chooses not to use our services, you’ll know how to proceed on the debt for the best chances of recovery.
What Value Does a Creditor Get From What Value Does a Creditor Get From Our Debt Restructuring Program?Our Debt Restructuring Program?
You won’t pay us any collection costs or legal fees - We make our money from the debtor, not you. You can get paid from accounts that probably could not have paid you otherwise.
