DIP Financing & Pre-Pack Sale Advisory
We arrange debtor-in-possession financing, design cash controls, and run a focused sale process under compressed court or creditor milestones. Our work preserves going-concern value, stabilizes payroll and suppliers, and delivers a clean closing path with ring-fenced funds flow and documented intercreditor terms.
We build a 13-week cash model, secure super-priority liquidity, and set draw controls that lenders accept. In parallel we prepare stalking-horse terms, buyer outreach, and bid procedures so the sale and the DIP reinforce each other. Deliverables include cash dominion mechanics, reporting cadence, and a dated execution plan that survives court scrutiny.
