Cornerstone aids owners of distressed businesses
Times are tough. Need help exiting your Business?

In today’s challenging economy it’s anything but business as usual – no matter what industry you’re in. In this tough economy, you may be having difficulty keeping your business afloat for a variety of reasons; lack of available credit, diminish profits, increased competition or reduced demand for your products or services. For this reason Cornerstone has developed a special Distressed Company Program - a 100 day program, focused on expediting the sale of the business with the intent of keeping the business open and running. We explore many options and opportunities to sell the business to a synergistic buyer who has the financial ability to keep things going. This approach helps everyone make the best of a tough situation, we consider everyone involved; the business owner, the employees, the customers, and, of course, for the financial institution.
