Case 450 - Cash Flow Coach™
Location : Southeast | Industry : Landscaping / Gardening Services
SITUATION
Fully established and accredited in 2017, the Company provided a unique combination of landscaping services to large commercial home builders, local builders, and residential accounts. The Company also does land improvement and landscaping for corporate accounts. About two years ago, the Company made the strategic decision to expand its footprint and opened an office in a neighboring state, which it subsequently decided to close due to a lack of profitability. The Company experienced negative cash flow related to the purchase of equipment and start-up costs associated with the new operation. Cedar Ridge partially financed this negative cash flow through high-cost merchant cash advances (MCA) which is now a significant drain on the Company’s cash flow.
SOLUTION
Newpoint provided a series of solutions based on our TAME findings. These recommendations included cleaned up accounts receivable accounting records, negotiated discounts on outstanding MCA's, upgraded cash flow monitoring, negotiated vendor payment plans, and implemented key metrics, scheduling, and operational improvements. Refinancing became a sprint exercise as MCAs were prevalent and significantly impacting cash flow.
RESULTS
The Company began and continues to pay down vendors and has increased its business and is generating positive cash flow. Operational improvement, headcount reductions, and improved accounting actions were implemented. Refinance completed with a factoring group that cleared MCA's. Newpoint's efforts saved 100 jobs for the Company.

Case 465 - Receivership
SITUATION
Seven companies were named in civil lawsuit. There was some concern by the the attorney representing the defendant and by the Court that the assets were not being properly managed by the entities attorney and his client. In addition, there was cash flowing through these entities bank accounts and also comingling of funds.
SOLUTION
Newpoint Advisors Corporation took control over all of the assets of the seven entities via receivership, primarily consisting of bank accounts. We investigated the banking activity over the past year and reviewed all open contracts to determine if the entities were being properly managed. We also did a site visit to the related development's properties and noted the current state of the land parcels, including the stage of progress. We made sure to communicate timely and clearly with all of the attorneys and the Court to properly carry out our responsibility.
RESULTS
The attorney representing the seven entities was very unhelpful and used delay tactics constantly to provide us information and data needed for us to do our job. But through our perseverance we were able to keep the project moving and both parties successfully settled the lawsuit thanks to our work and pressure for information. Additionally during the process we threatened the parties with retaining legal counsel to file on the receiver's behalf a motion to compel and a rule to show cause. The threat of having to disclose information and documents, as well as, the cost of additional professional fees assisted the parties to settle the lawsuit. Upon acceptance of the settlement and the approval of the receiver's reports, the Court discharged the receiver and terminated the receivership.
Case 499 - Cash Flow Coach™
Location : Southeast | Industry : Transportation
SITUATION
The Company received a demand letter from the bank regarding $2.8MM mortgage on the property because of delinquent payments of over 5 months. In addition, the bank also had a $2.7MM equipment loan with the Company, which was also past due. The owner of the Company had not been actively involved over the past three years and ignored a declining business post COVID. The owner continued to allow management to operate as usual and provided infusions of cash when needed from personal funds and by borrowing from a business friend totaling $1.7MM. The bank grew frustrated with missed forecasts, regular overdrawn accounts, and requests for more advances. Critical vendors were also cutting the Company off by refusing service and starting legal proceeding due to non-payment and missed commitments. The Owner wanted Newpoint Advisors Corporation to directly negotiate with vendors to buy more time.
SOLUTION
Newpoint Advisors Corporation came in initially to perform a 20-Day Proactive Assessment, however it became clear given the critical cash flow position and difficult access to financial information that we needed to scale back to a Cash Flow Balance engagement. We immediately alerted the Owner that the books being kept on spreadsheets couldn't be trusted and that we needed access to bank data. The Company was unable to make weekly payroll without overdrawing their accounts, therefore we recommended, using the results of our analysis, that they immediately close down their intermodal operation, reduce personnel, shut down the overseas dispatcher operation, and find an infusion of equity of approximately $800K to fund the Company transition to positive cash flow. Given that there was an estimated $3.6MM of equity on the building, Newpoint Advisors Corporation recommended the Company engage in a sales leaseback or refinance of the building to exit the bank.
RESULTS
The Company began implementing our informal recommendations during the course of the project. They shut-down their intermodal operations, reduced personnel, closed the overseas dispatcher operations, and redirected all other resources toward the over the road (OTR) segment of the business. These changes eliminated $1.9MM in annualized expenses. In addition, Newpoint Advisors Corporation recommended that the Company restructure it's sales and dispatch operations to increase the percentage of dedicated line contracts from 5% to over 50%, thus decreasing the reliance on the less profitable spot market rates. The owner began negotiations with a potential equity and/or sales leaseback partner to provide interim funding and possibility a purchaser of the building.
Case 517 - Turnaround
Location : Southeast | Industry : Manufacturing
SITUATION
The Company, a metal fabricator, was at a crossroads with extensive overall debt and a large amount secured with the Bank. The owner was struggling with declining sales and recent layoffs of his management team. Utilization in the factory was just above 50% and margins on many of its top 10 customers had slipped below 25%. The Company had given up on its ERP system as an "old school" shop manager never bought in to the implementation and worked actively to undermine its potential benefit. Part of its overall debt was an MCA that was drafting a large payment weekly. Rent was in arrears, equipment loans were unpaid, and a larger piece of used machinery was financed and never ran after many attempts to fix and a large investment. Nothing was going right and the owner and his family were paralyzed and did not know what to do.
SOLUTION
Newpoint Advisors Corporation provided a comprehensive recommendation plan using TAME that hit all of the key areas of the business. First was a detailed cost cutting plan that would immediately free up enough working capital to provide for a cash runway to fix the business. Secondly, Newpoint put together a margin improvement plan that centered around the branded fabrication products business and focused on its top ten fabrication customers. Thirdly, a new sales and marketing strategy was developed and implemented to grow the high margin branded business. Implementation of key performance indicators (KPIs) allowed the scaled down management team and family members to see actual results and measure against set targets. Finally, Newpoint assisted in hiring and training a controller who implemented the Newpoint Cash Flow Launcher, measured and improved gross margins by customer/order, and presented the KPIs to the owner consistently and accurately.
RESULTS
The result was a successful turnaround which allowed the Company to improve margins on its top fabrication customers, increase margin contribution from its branded business by growing it 30% in less than one year. The MCA was successfully paid off, rent negotiations resulted in a 40% reduction in occupancy costs, and utilization was improved to over 75% as a reimplementation of the ERP system was undertaken and the shop manager was replaced. This was a very difficult and multi-faceted turnaround which required patience as the pieces came together and multiplied into measurable success.

Case 605 - Cash Flow Coach™
SITUATION
The Company was a Midwestern family owned farm with multiple operating businesses whose finances were disorganized and comingled. The accounting functions were closely intertwined and largely managed by the owner’s spouse, with cash and payables moving between entities on an ad-hoc basis and without a cohesive plan or financial visibility. There was a competent accounting firm engaged whose primary focus was on the family farm operations and negotiations with the two primary lenders.
SOLUTION
Newpoint Advisors Corporation developed separate and transparent cash flow forecasts for both the farming operation and the cattle trucking business, enabling management and stakeholders to clearly evaluate each company’s performance and financial requirements independently. We also assisted with negotiations with other related family members who were threatening to sue the farm for alleged costs and missed payments for services and goods. We acted as the go-between to analyze and respond to the financial support on both sides. We attempted to implement accounting controls and weekly review, however the spouse fought us at every step, refusing to participate in the process. We agreed to focus on the cash flow forecasts and use them to set a weekly budget that the owner could discuss with the spouse and implement.
RESULTS
The engagement resulted in two independent and transparent cash flow forecasts—one for the farm and one for the cattle-trucking business. The trucking operation demonstrated strong cash generation, which enabled the owner to secure a working-capital line of credit from a local community bank to support growth. This separation of financial performance was eye-opening for the owner; for the first time, he could clearly distinguish the strength of the trucking business from the financial strain and debt challenges affecting the family farm, including pending disputes and potential litigation among family members. Although we were unable to fully engage the owner’s spouse, who managed the accounting, the process ultimately earned their support. By the conclusion of the project, the owner shared that he had begun reviewing the cash flow forecast weekly and actively discussing payment strategies and priorities with them, marking a meaningful shift toward greater transparency, collaboration, and financial discipline across the businesses.

Case 609 - Cash Flow Coach™ TAME™
Location : Washington | Industry : Manufacturing
SITUATION
The Company is a power lithium battery provider to the recreational market throughout North America. TTM showed a declining revenue trend and net EBITDA losses due to an undisciplined growth strategy and more recently the U.S. erratic tariff policy. New functional leadership was brought on during this time period with a focus on profit and margin improvements, and not just unit volume growth. The Company had entered into an agreement to defer payments on its senior secured note. The Company also had significant overdue liabilities with its three primary Chinese suppliers thus resulting in the Company facing an imminent liquidity event as it attempted to stabilize its supply chain via inventory replenishment.
SOLUTION
Due to immediate liquidity needs, Newpoint Advisors Corporation recommended that the Company obtain bridge financing from its current secured lender and use the funds to purchase much needed inventory and stabilize its supply chain. This would allow the Company to execute on other NAC recommendations including cost reductions and improved supply chain operations.
RESULTS
In less than thirty days, Newpoint was able to complete its operational TAME analysis and execute a bridge loan for the Company with its current senior lender that allowed the Company to purchase new inventory and stabilize its supply chain.

Case 599 - TAME™
Location : New York | Industry : Financial Services
SITUATION
The Company was a full-service clinical research outsourcing (CRO) organization with approximately 200 employees that specialized in offering solutions in oncology, hematology, neurodegenerative disorders, rare disease, and cell and gene therapy. Due to a slowdown in growth and a delay in adjusting for low employee utilization, the Company experienced a P&L loss and negative cash flows in the prior year. The Company had a payroll funding financing arrangement with its Senior Lender that included a pseudo-A/R factoring facility that was 20% overadvanced.
SOLUTION
Newpoint Advisors Corporation was engaged to perform a 20-Day Proactive Assessment which eventually led to a further 100-Day MAP and a CSG strategic refinancing agreement. In order to reduce risk of refinancing, a 100-Day program was performed in parallel which included cash flow modeling, optimizing/simplifying the Company's project billing processes and systems and the development of Key Performance Indicators and accountability. Our CSG engagement included a robust marketing process which was completed in less than 45 days and was successful in achieving payoff results in excess of the current bank's expectations.
RESULTS
NAC was successful in completing a strategic refinancing of the Company which was supported by the 100-Day project that reduced the overadvance position to approximately $0K at the time of closing. The 20% reduction in the overadvance position allowed the Company to have a competitive refinancing process and maximized the recovery to the Senior Lender.

Case 574 - TRAIL
Location : Illinois | Industry : Hospitality
SITUATION
An owner/operator of a rural hotel ceased operations and stopped making mortgage payments causing a default with its Senior Lender. The local fire and health department shut down the property for multiple safety and health code violations, including a mold infestation. The condition of the property continued to deteriorate rapidly. The Senior Lender wanted to preserve the value of the property but was unable to maintain the property. The Senior Lender had started a foreclosure but it would take considerable amount of time before it could be approved by the Court.
SOLUTION
Newpoint Advisors Corporation was formally appointed receiver by the Court. Newpoint would work with the current owner in reasonably maintaining the property and preserving what value remained. Newpoint would conduct routine wellness and security visits to the property and take over basic maintenance. The owner, with Newpoint's help, would actively search for potential buyers as well.
RESULTS
The owner was not fully cooperative and declined several offers from buyers. The property continued to deteriorate from non-use and eventually the Senior Lender foreclosed on the property. A sheriff's sale held by the Senior Lender did not yield any buyers. A subsequent private sale process was successful as the Senior Lender was able to find a buyer and secured a 100% payout of all debt, fees and expenses. The result was in line due to Newpoint's extensive expertise and performance in navigating complex receivership and foreclosure proceedings. Recommendations were made and accepted in accordance with the Court procedure timeline.
Case 558 - Cash Flow Coach™
Location : Wisconsin | Industry : Manufacturing
SITUATION
The Company designs and manufactures precision equipment for coating lines including slot dies, coating stations and fluid delivery systems with operations in the United States and sales offices in Europe and Asia. After a significant increase in sales from 2022 to 2023 (81%), the Company moved to a larger facility to increase manufacturing capability which resulted in a significant increase in operating costs. This resulted in liquidity issues with its senior lender who had outstanding debt consisting of a Line of Credit and equipment and term loans. The Company was not in compliance with its covenants, and the line of credit was frozen.
SOLUTION
Newpoint Advisors Corporation was engaged to prepare its Balance Assessment along with special scope items as requested by the senior lender. Following a TAME operational viability assessment and cash flow build/analysis utilizing progress billing methodology, Newpoint suggested a set of recommendations that included sales and operational changes, cost reductions, and a re-focus on cash flows and project management.
RESULTS
The Company decided not to proceed on the primary recommendations and instead requested NAC to maintain its cash flow model and continue to facilitate discussions with the senior lender. The senior lender thought that they had a good collateral position, so they froze the accounts and started the Company down a wind down process. Another bank, with a high money guarantor, was found to refinance the senior lender but the equipment liquidation appraisal showed a low value which led for the need to have a discounted loan payment where Newpoint facilitated and negotiated a deal which was acceptable to all parties. The Company, with new financing, has stopped its wind down process and begun again to take orders.

Case 552 - TAME™
Location : Ohio | Industry : Manufacturing
SITUATION
The Company is a parts manufacturer for the tractor trailers. With the glut of inventory in the market, the Company's main customer, which represented 70% of its business, cut its orders by 40% in 2024. Revenues overall fell 53% causing operating losses. The Company's owner did not restrict distributions during this period nor put in additional equity to shore up liquidity. Additionally, the owner was running personal expenses through the business. The Company was put in default by its Senior Lender and were asked to find a new bank as part of a forbearance agreement. The Company's owner and management did not have a network of lenders and reached out to Newpoint Advisors for assistance.
SOLUTION
Newpoint Advisors Corporation recommended a CFL Growth solution to assist with a future CSG refinance project. The CFL Growth project provided the information necessary for a new lender to understand the background of the company and underwrite the business properly. CSG would run a formal process to market the company, find and vet lenders to refinance the Senior Lender's outstanding debt.
RESULTS
Upon completion of the assessment, the Company began to implement cost cutting initiatives consistent with the recommendations. CSG contacted dozens of firms and received multiple bids over a period of seven months. Certain bids were for specific assets only and a couple were for all assets. Many lenders backed away due to the owner's distribution history, background and relation to a convicted felon and operational losses. The collateral, at the time, did not support the financing to take out all the senior lender's debt. Additional accommodation was required by the incumbent lender in the form of a fourth mortgage on a related real estate parcel to bridge the gap. The company's operations improved due to a surge of orders and the collateral gap shrunk from the original estimate. The refinancing closed in May 2025.

Case 551 - Cash Flow Coach™
Location : FL | Industry : Staffing
SITUATION
The Company provides specialty IT staffing/recruiting and outsourced IT services. The Company operates worldwide and has been in operation since 1999. The Company had aged out receivables supporting an overdrawn borrowing base. The Company’s senior lender sought clarity on the Company’s viability and the collectability of certain of the aged out receivables.
SOLUTION
Newpoint Advisors Corporation first performed its TAME analysis on the Company and worked with the Company to build a 13 week cash flow model. Subsequently, Newpoint undertook the chief restructuring officer role with the Company and worked with management at the Company to determine business viability and resolution satisfactory to the Company’s senior lender.
RESULTS
Newpoint was able to work with the Company and lender to facilitate a loan sale of the Company’s senior debt. The transaction provided a recovery to the lender, albeit at a meaningful discount, but allowed for continued operation of the Company as a going-concern with augmented financial and operational support from the note purchasers who were strategic buyers. The transaction averted a worst case outcome (shutdown and lost jobs and capital) and gave the Company a soft landing and transition.

Case 475 - CETS
Location : IN | Industry : Aerospace/Defense
SITUATION
The Company provides specialized machine aerospace parts to large engine manufacturers and was being poorly run by second generation family members who had no experience or business knowledge. Low utilization, poor systems, and bad leadership created a culture of order delays that measured in months and years. The senior lender had been working with the Company to help find operational solutions but the problem kept getting worse. The Company was taking on emergency debt from its customers without the consent of the bank and without proper documentation. Given the significance of the order delays, the customers began running operations by forcing daily emergency priorities and the Company's leadership was complicit in allowing this to happen. The senior lender was frustrated and wanted to know what was going on.
SOLUTION
Newpoint Advisors Corporation was engaged to preform a 20-Day Proactive Assessment where it was clear the Company was challenged each week to make payroll. Our recommendations centered around finding a strategic buyer for the Company and replacing its leadership with qualified executives who understand the industry and can properly manage customers. We also discovered that their ERP system was not completely installed properly and the roll-out was a failure. The Company had no trust in the data being collected and therefore employees failed to utilize its features to better manage production, costs, and scheduling. We moved to a 100-Day engagement where we focused on reimplementing the ERP, creating measurable KPI's, and restructuring the leadership team.
RESULTS
The Company rejected our primary recommendation of a strategic sale, but agreed to move forward with other improvements. We implemented an inventory clean-up process to more accurately represent WIP value. In addition, we created a set of KPI's that tracked operational results weekly to ensure progress was being made. We outlined a plan for an ERP re-implementation to accurately track job costs including operator hours. The Company continued to rely on customer cash infusions to fund operations.
