A company may be over-leveraged; it may be considering or operating in bankruptcy; it may have expanded too fast for its capital base; it may need to ride out a recession; it may have lost its largest customer; or its existing lenders may no longer be suitable for the company. The process of efficiently resolving such complex and often urgent situations requires the integration of valuation services and financial advisory representation.

These situations may involve the Private Placement or Restructuring of Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt, and/or Equity Securities. Houlihan's experienced team can move quickly to execute asset divestitures or a sale of a company or its assets under extremely distressed circumstances.

Houlihan's multi-disciplined approach to Corporate Restructurings and Recapitalizations affords our middle-market clients access to capital markets and reorganization strategies usually reserved for much larger companies. Our expertise in negotiated settlements with Federal Bankruptcy Courts, secured lenders, bondholders and creditor committees has enabled us to develop creative and practical solutions that have exceeded the expectations of our Capital Restructuring clients.

For more than a decade, Houlihan Smith & Company has established itself as a premier investment banking group focusing its finance division to middle-market companies seeking corporate funding solutions to a variety of objectives. Houlihan Smith provides its expertise as an agent on behalf of our clients to seek out the most effective capital structure among Houlihan Smith’s vast array of funding sources.

While many of our successes are held in the strictest level of confidence at the request of our clients, no other investment bank maintains the number of funding relationships and day-to-day market intelligence among commercial banks, asset based lenders, mezzanine lenders, angel investors, venture capital groups, private equity groups, and other credit providers. Our relationships allow for specific targeting to funding sources for your unique funding needs. Our approach to your business finance needs includes our business valuation expertise, financing relationships, and debt restructuring experience to provide business and corporate clients with the best solutions to challenging financing situations.
