With nearly 40 years of banking, business and consulting experience, John
J. Buell offers the firm’s clients an extensive level of support in
a variety of areas. In particular, his banking background as a commercial
lender working with portfolios in excess of $50 million in the manufacturing,
wholesale, restaurant and retail business industries, provides clients in
these areas with a different perspective of their individual lending relationships.
With a lifetime of developing lines of communication with both conventional
and unconventional lenders, he is widely regarded for his ability to locate
and place financing in even the most difficult of circumstances. Because the
firm has a focus on businesses that are in transition, his experience in the
area of financing is often the measure of the engagement’s success in
either restructuring existing, or securing replacement financing.
As principal of his own businesses over the years, he has dealt with all of
the problems that business owners and operators face in these times of such
dramatic change in their environment. His services are often used by clients
to guide them as an advisor, not only in structuring financing, but also assisting
clients in a wide variety of other business transactions.
His overall lending experience, which brings a broad perspective to the firm’s
ability to assist its clients in securing the necessary financing to grow
businesses, is also valuable in securing the best possible rates. His national
contacts, many of whom are members of the Commercial Finance Association,
provide him with a wide range of potential asset based lenders in those circumstances
where conventional bank financing is not possible.
Widely traveled throughout the country, as he guides the firm’s clients
who are consolidating operations, winding down and disposing of specific divisions
or eliminating products, his ability to deal with creditors, lenders and customers
in those circumstances significantly contributes to a client’s successful
transition.
