Real Results

Case Study 2:

This company's management thought all they needed was more financing. With declining sales and increasing losses, that wasn't possible. And it wouldn't have solved the problem anyway. We cut a computer reseller's break-even point by 40%; despite temporarily decreased sales, and the bottom line improved from loss of 5% of sales to a profit of 10%.

 

 



 


The Company

A computer reseller in a niche market. Rapidly advancing technology and generally declining prices caused the company's margins to shrink drastically.


The Problem

Although sales were good, revenues were not supporting the company. Much of the financing was being done involuntarily by suppliers. The major lender was owed more than $3,000,000 and was about to call the loan. Management of the company began looking for replacement capital. However, because of the company's financial condition, the more obvious sources of new funds were not available. Goldberg was engaged to locate financing.


The Solution

Goldberg surveyed the company's situation and suggested that outside capital would not be the best answer, even if it were possible. Because of the entrepreneurial management and a lack of operational focus, systems throughout the company were inefficient and ineffective. Goldberg worked with management to refine the warehousing, administrative and service functions, negotiated with the major lender and other creditors, and provided sales and management training to the company's employees.


The Result

The break-even point was reduced by 40%, and the lender forgave more than half the debt. At the end of the engagement, the improved systems were continuing to make the company more profitable.
