Red Oak Capital Advisors was engaged by an entity in bankruptcy which owned 2 Golds Gyms and an adjacent office building. As the first transaction in its strategy to exit bankruptcy, Red Oak arranged a bridge loan while simultaneously negotiating a discounted payoff of the existing secured lender.
After successfully completing this first transaction, the Client was able to exit bankruptcy in only four months because of the advisory services and structure put in place during this process.
After exiting bankruptcy, the client re-branded both gyms to World Gym and began operating its business. After only a little over a year, Red Oak was able to orchestrate a more traditional first mortgage to repay the bridge lender, significantly lowering the Client's cost of capital.
