Avoid Bankruptcy with Second Wind Consultants - Rob Dinozzi

Second Wind Consultants is a business restructuring firm helping business owners resolve business debt and preserve businesses while avoiding bankruptcy. Second Wind works with franchisees, brands, and systems across the US in all categories with a solution to distress available under the Uniform Commercial Code.

For the brand, this means preserving a location, while avoiding closure or bankruptcy filings, giving the location a truly clean slate and a fresh start.

This streamlined out-of-court solution is understood in financial communities, but not widely known in the small business community.

The core concept is simple: When a business is preserved rather than liquidated, all parties benefit, including creditors.
