A large national agribusiness lender came to Cordes seeking assistance with their significant loans to a Kansas feedlot operator that was experiencing operational and financial challenges. The individual that had originally built the companies had stepped away from the daily operations and had turned them over to the next generation with less than favorable results. Cordes was able to efficiently and effectively analyze the operations and financial aspects facing the companies and work with senior management to identify, recommend and monitor steps to liquidate assets, shore up the borrowing base and resolve other financial issues, which ultimately led to the lenders getting paid in full on their loans.
