Corporate Finance

C.V. Lemmon first became known in the financial community by arranging non-bank loans so clients could leave the banks during the Southwestern banking crisis, which occurred in the mid and late 1980s. During that time C.V. Lemmon's corporate finance activities were featured in an article as published by Entrepreneur magazine. A complete copy of that article can be found on this web site by clicking here.

Most frequently, successful companies request C.V. Lemmon's assistance to improve cash flow. Our firm's corporate finance activities almost always include a global restructuring of all corporate debt to obtain maximum long term financing under favorable terms; and thus, permit a client's new revolving line of credit to be substantially unused and available for growth.

Occasionally, clients require quasi-equity mezzanine financing, which is frequently provided in the form of subordinated debt and/or preferred stock. C.V. Lemmon is highly competent to identify appropriate lenders. As you may know, not all lenders are in the market at the same time. Furthermore, lenders tend to go through cycles whereby they are aggressive at times and conservative at others. C.V. Lemmon is intimately familiar with the market, will prepare complete debt placement memorandums, will make presentations to lenders, negotiate the most favorable terms, and coordinate a smooth and orderly closing.

Lenders appreciate C.V. Lemmon's thorough presentations. Many lenders have jokingly said that they simply put their application on top of our memorandum and receive approval from their lending committee. You benefit from our years of experience, personal relationships with lenders, and long track record of success.
