Whether you are a small, middle-market, or large cap business, managing your organization’s debt is the most pertinent activity relative to your firm’s cash flow.
Debt maintenance is vital to your organizations growth. Actually, debt itself and the availability of it, commonly is the key determining factor of whether your organization can compete with market leaders, who tend to be well capitalized.
Refinancing existing debt can free up capital for growth-- staff expansions, asset expansions, new manufacturing facilities, technology and infrastructure upgrades, and the acquisition of competitors.
Let’s give an example:
-Assume-
Morgan’s Farm Equipment, Inc. (MFE) has $50 million in fixed debt with Lender A, fixed @ 8 percent over 10 years (120 months), interest only payments. Monthly debt obligations would approx. equal $340,000.00
Now if MFE could refinance and take advantage of today’s interest climate @ 5 percent, with the same term structure, MFE would realize actual monthly savings of $130,000.00. With monthly debt obligations now @ $210,000.00/ month and $1.56 million more annual operating cash flow, MFE can save, reinvest, buy back stock or disburse dividends to shareholders.
Finally, recapitalization or refinancing is a powerful tool to achieve your organization’s mission.
