Interim Executives
Capital is scarce. Demand is weak. Investment remains moribund. Now more than ever, there are distressed firms out there that need your help. But how do you find the ones that match your skill-set and preferences? Many of the leads you receive, be it from your network or other lead providers, have little or no relevance to your core competency or location. Moreover, when finishing an extended engagement with one firm, how do you quickly fire up your client acquisition process to avoid too large of a gap between assignments?
The answer is Distressed Company Monitor™ from Indicium Solutions, a radical new approach to targeted lead generation for interim executives and turnaround professionals serving small and middle-market firms. DCM is based on the insight that when firms begin to experience financial distress, they triage their payables and general obligations to vendors, partners and other stakeholders. This in turn creates a paper trail in the form of certain specific types of court cases and lien filings that immediately emerge into the public domain.
Those records become leading indicators of the underlying financial distress and, uniquely, have the effect of piercing the veil of secrecy generally surrounding the true financial condition of private companies. We don't look at bankruptcies, defaults, FDIC take-overs or other trailing indicators of distress; many if not most of the companies experiencing those events either can't be saved or don't have any money left to pay third-party service providers.
Rather, DCM focuses solely on the leading indicators of distress, capturing them as soon as the information is made available to the general public. We then enrich the names therein with critical company information such as key contacts, address, telephone, revenues, employees, and SIC code/industry and export that information to a convenient MS Excel spreadsheet every business day. This ensures that you don’t waste time and money on leads for $10MM food processors in Denver when you’re focused on $50MM tech companies near your home in San Diego. As a result, we think you’ll agree that Distressed Company Monitor™ represents an ideal complement to your existing client acquisition process.
