Second Wind offers business consulting, growth and debt solutions previously available only to the largest corporations. Over the past 11 years, SWC has re-defined the landscape of business debt solutions outside of bankruptcy or legal arenas. Having pioneered a reorganizational path that preserves business value, Second Wind creates a win/win that benefits owners, creditors and jobs as an alternative to bankruptcy.As a strategic partner for direct business investors and intermediaries, Second Wind Consultants specializes in preserving and extracting enterprise value when business debt would otherwise mean a business is untransactable or uncapitalizable.Reorganizations performed via Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code offer an alternate form of business asset liquidation into a new or existing purchasing entity – thereby preserving core enterprise value while eliminating business debt.When assets are liquidated into a purchasing entity, rather than at auction, operational value is preserved and all parties benefit.Second Wind has performed 1000s of Article 9 reorganizations which offer unprecedented value to distressed owners, business investors, intermediaries and creditors alike. Distressed entities are reorganized into pristine entities in 45-60 days.The preservation of value afforded by a Second Wind reorganization offers:-successful exits for owners without bankruptcy (which by result, incentivizes PEG/purchaser LOIs)-maximum recovery value for secured creditors-highly attractive entry costs for PEGs /purchasers seeking enterprise value at liquidated asset costs-streamlined M&A activity without regard to debt on the balance sheet-unencumbered assets for leveraged buyouts-unencumbered assets for target ABL lending opportunities
