Client Story

The owners of this live music venue were no longer on speaking terms. They were not able to operate because they “thought” they owed over $60,000 to the city. One of the partners was personally liable for that amount. They needed to sell the assets of the club and cover the debt. We assessed the business. We found more than $100,000 was needed to satisfy all creditors. We recognized that it was worth more than the owners thought. We then managed the warring partners, their attorneys, and the creditors. We were able to create demand that resulted in multiple full price offers. We negotiated down the outstanding debt so that all parties were able to exit with no personal liability.
