Knightsford, a proud member of the SPERGEL group of companies, provides advisory and equity services which require innovative financial solutions. Our focus is working with financially challenged mid-size businesses with a moderate to highly levered financial structure that for valid business/economic reasons, including rapid growth, may be unprofitable. Knightsford’s approach to helping its clients is to know and understand the business strategies being employed and to recognize that there are business cycles that provide opportunities and challenges. By gaining in depth knowledge of the business up front and on an ongoing basis, we are able to closely partner with our clients to identify, prepare for and work through these cycles.

Our advisory services include but are not limited to:

Establishing and Executing a Strategy for Exit and Succession including Leveraged Buy Outs
Knightsford will assist in preparing a comprehensive overview of a company’s financial and operating profile so that key company and business issues are defined and the optimum use of various levels of new capital is determined. Knightsford will assist clients when they have an opportunity to purchase a company/division and utilize the assets of the target as collateral to finance the transaction.

Locating Sources of Capital and Corporate Value for Organic Growth and Strategic Alliances
Knightsford will evaluate the business assets, whether on or off the balance sheet, in order to determine additional value that may be used as collateral for loans. After selecting the appropriate financial lenders for the client’s business, Knightsford will provide the business information memorandum in order to negotiate the required term sheet. As part of this service, KCC will assist the client in the delivery of key documentation.
