    Client Experiences

     
     

    THE FBO WAS RUNNING OUT OF TIME

    Our client came to us, desperate, having his existing loan unexpectedly called due by his bank. FBO Advisors was able to quickly analyze the financials of their FBO, create a loan package for submittal to our lender, and work through the issues of the FBO to successfully achieve a full refinancing at a lower interest rate! Our Client now "sleeps at night" he told us. Thank you FBO Advisors!

     
     

    BUYING OUT THE COMPETITOR

    A client contacted us with an urgent need! His FBO competitor had suddenly decided to sell his business and retire due to poor health. If our client could make a reasonable offer a quick below market sale was in the offering. We analyzed our clients financials, recast them to properly reflect the true value of his FBO, and created a loan package which showed the tremendous upside to our client in acquiring his competitor. Not only did our client double his income, he increased the value of his new sole-source FBO by a huge multiple!

     
     

    CASHING OUT SOME EXISTING EQUITY

    We were contacted by an FBO owner who wished to take out some of the equity in his FBO business that he had worked hard to create over many years, well before his lease term would end. We compiled his financials, organized them for the loan application, and counseled our client as to the best loan request to apply for. Success! Our client was able to put his current un-tapped FBO cash value into his pocket today!

     
     

    BUYING OUT YOUR PARTNER

    The investor partner of an FBO felt it was now time to exit the FBO business. The FBO owner didn't want to sell! FBO Advisors were able to create a loan package after assisting the owner with his financials, and with the presentation for submittal to our Lender. The new loan funding was successfully closed and the partner pushing for the sale was bought out with the proceeds from the new financing. The FBO owner continued to generate income and most importantly, is able to take advantage of a potentially future high profit sale of his FBO!
