Restaurants have been hard hit. Here is a terrific debt workout success story.
Four locations, low end dining, working class customers, a large lunch venue, previously did very well. A direct hit by the current recession, revenues are down, cost of business continues to rise…margins are slim…spells deep issues. Cannot pay debt service on $1.2 million.
A standard secured loan, not an SBA guaranty loan.
We negotiated a debt workout for $120,000. With forgiveness of the remainder. Ten cents on the dollar…..this works. They borrowed the payoff money from family…..Yahoo! Another small business owner saved!

Hi Mr.Todrin,
I love all your articles. Just one question, what is your normal charge for debt workout? I had a business that went to short sale and I still owe SBA about $200K since I signed personal gurantee. I am planning to see if I can afford to have you negotiate the debt for me.
Thank you.
thanks for this – happy holidays :D
