The principals of Doyle Salewski have acted in many reorganizations to assist companies in effecting internal and external changes in order to compete in today’s marketplace. From lines of business to personnel, from sourcing financing to restructuring under a formal insolvency process, we have successfully participated in the redeployment and realignment of a Corporation’s resources.

In a cash flow crisis and in order to avoid the expense and formality of a formal insolvency proceeding, sometimes arrangements with specific creditors can be structured in order to preserve key supplies to the organization while deferring creditor action respecting enforcement proceedings for collection of their outstanding accounts. Often these types of agreements are individually structured with each significant creditor. These negotiations and agreements require experience in these types of negotiations in order to bring both parties together for their mutual benefit and to minimize legal costs.

In many instances a Corporation or business entity will require financial expertise in respect of cash-flow management, insolvency, financing, banking, etc. Doyle Salewski is available upon demand to attend at a Company’s premises and to immediately review and assess a situation in order to commence a financial reorganization. Further, where urgency is not required, we can work with Management to develop a plan to reorganize the Company’s finances so that interest costs are lowered, cash-flow stress is minimized and relationships are improved with lenders.

A stay of proceedings is available for an initial 30-day period and an extension of up to 5 additional months, if approved. It allows accounts receivables to be collected and cash flow to be utilized where needed (such as inventory or payroll). It also provides time to design an achievable and feasible restructuring plan. A stay of proceeding stops immediate creditor intervention actions.

A Company in financial difficulty does not often know where to turn in order to best utilize its dwindling financial resources and to strategize, most particularly, for survival in order to maximize cash-flow and preserve valuable assets. The Principals of Doyle Salewski, through many years of assisting companies in financial difficulty, can provide debtor counselling on an immediate basis.

Whenever possible, Doyle Salewski utilizes proposals under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act as opposed to other formal insolvency measures to restructure viable businesses. Most often, this results in greater realizations, lower professional costs, and a continuation of all or a part of the business. Corporate proposals, under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA) and plans of Arrangements made under the Companies’ Creditor Arrangements Act (CCAA) allow for insolvent companies to restructure, reorganize and to continue as viable entities.

Our clients are assured that we can objectively provide these services and remain unencumbered by conflicts of interest and professional relationships which may be detrimental to performance and objectivity.

We can also act in situations where an engagement does not require a formal Appointment as a Monitor, Agent, Receiver or Trustee. Particularly, we provide independent direct assistance to companies requiring restructuring and reorganization or financial counselling.

A Plan of Arrangement made under the Companies’ Creditor Arrangements Act (CCAA) allows for insolvent companies to restructure and reorganize and to continue as viable entities. Plans of Arrangement under the CCAA are for larger, complex insolvencies and require a minimum debt of $5,000,000. Restructuring may include downsizing of operations or divestiture of segments of a business. It typically includes extended payment terms designed for the continuation of the debtor’s business.
