BUSINESS TRIAGE

Our business triage services help small and mid-sized family businesses survive and thrive through critical stages of the business life cycle, including recessions and crises. During periods of economic decline, change, and uncertainty, it’s critical that business owners first take to the planning board before making any major decisions. That’s where Sabre Capital comes in. For more than 35 years, we’ve helped many family-owned businesses strategically navigate multiple recessions and crises, seeing them through to better times.

We take a holistic approach to business triage, staying mindful to both offense (bringing cash in the front door) and defense (keeping it from leaving the back door). When you’re in a downturn, you often can’t sell your way out of it. That’s why it’s important to focus your attention on areas where you can tighten your belt, like accounts receivable and overhead.

Our experience in helping businesses through critical periods has led us to focus on several key areas:

  • consulting and planning

  • business model evaluation

  • design and implement an aggressive accounts receivable debt collection strategy

  • adjusting employee overhead for new economic realities

  • spin-off of non-essential assets

  • loan restructuring (modification of terms)

  • workout negotiations with lenders (forbearance, fee waivers)

When it comes to helping your business survive hard times and eventually thrive again, we’re in this together. That means you’ll have access to our large and elite network of seasoned professionals who make up the Sabre Expert Network. They come from a diverse range of middle-market roles, from commercial and investment bankers to corporate and transactional legal counsel, estate planning attorneys, and financial planners.

Regardless of the scope of the challenge that your business is facing, or the level of urgency, our Expert Network is well-equipped to see you through to brighter days.
