The Vision Made a Reality
by President and Founder, Roderick Lloyd

The Vision
12 years ago, I had a vision to offer a rapid and focused turnaround service with a 100% results based fee structure. At that time and at this time, the major turnaround consulting firms will take1-2 years to complete an engagement and they will charge for their advice and not their results. I developed and engineered this new concept and for over 10 years now we have established an outstanding reputation for consistently meeting our clients’ goals and in less than half the time of the traditional turnaround process. The key: focusing exclusively and uniquely on the resolution of corporate liabilities.

The ‘Turnaround’ Industry
No other firm in the nation operates on this basis for two reasons:

  1. They are generally larger firms with a high overhead which they expect their clients to absorb irrespective of the results obtained.
  2. These firms simply do not have the success ratio on assignments to support a 100% results based fee structure. They tend to have an extended reporting structure and an established longer term process that denies them the speed and flexibility essential to focus on the pressing priorities which are essential to ensure a quick and successful outcome, and, sometimes even the very survival of the company.

The LBT Approach
LBT is the only firm that operates on this basis because:

  1. Our team is rewarded on results obtained i.e. A low overhead.
  2. Our track record is second to none, with over 90% of our assignments being successfully concluded.
  3. We only accept a limited number of engagements each year and we carefully select our engagements to ensure that we can continue to offer this service on these terms.

We do not charge for advice, we only charge for results; so uniquely, our expert and his team are at your disposal at our expense. While we carry a ‘floating’ retainer for the term of our engagement, retainers paid are deducted 100% from success fees payable on the completion of each assignment.

I am constantly surprised by the number of companies that continue to pay large seven figure consultancy fees for advice without any assurance of the outcome. One of our clients, before coming to us, had paid over $70m in professional fees, without any tangible results, other than leading the company straight into a Chapter 11 bankruptcy and, of course, more fees. In another engagement, our client had previously used the services of a top, New York based Turnaround Consultancy, only to find 12 months later that the priority issues had not been addressed, leaving the company no alternative other than to file for Bankruptcy protection. Subsequently, we were retained and we were able to save this public company and put it back on its feet inside their 45 day deadline. It is results like this which have given my firm the reputation as the ‘Red Adair’ of the turnaround industry

I look forward to working with you to achieve your financial goals as quickly as possible.

Kindest Regards

Roderick J. Lloyd
President

09-03-09 WASHINGTON – Jobless rate at 9.7 %, with 216,000 jobs lost in August
The unemployment rate jumped almost half a point to 9.7 percent in August, the highest since 1983, reflecting a poor job market that will make it hard for the economy to begin a sustained recovery.

Bailouts and stimulus packages are not saving jobs, they are losing them!

07-31-09 FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA - Commercial Property on the edge of a cliff? - Commercial property is clearly at the edge of a major, quite possibly unprecedented, downturn. Nationwide commercial delinquencies are up from $4BN one year ago to $29BN last month representing an astounding increase of 585%. Commercial sales in the state of Florida to May 2009 plummeted by 77% compared with the same period in 2008. The driving factor throughout the nation in this sector has been high and increasing levels of unemployment. In Central Florida - the state’s barometer economy - jobless rates shot up to10.8% last month. This is the largest increase in 34 years. This administration’s ‘free spending’ approach to resolving economic problems has already damaged the dollar and triggered the beginning of an inflationary spiral which is already affecting the cost of daily essentials - far more than is being revealed by the CPI and other  ‘official’ statistics. Retail sales have therefore been hard hit as the nation trims its budget to adapt to the new circumstances. These facts are at the root of the rapidly declining demand for retail space and the rising number of vacancies.

11-21-08 Goldman cuts U.S. growth forecast

11-07-08 Washington - Jobless rate bolts to 14-year high of 6.5 percent
The nation's unemployment rate bolted to a 14-year high of 6.5 percent in October as another 240,000 jobs were cut, far worse than economists expected and stark proof the economy is deteriorating at an alarmingly rapid pace.

10-27-08 Fort Lauderdale, Florida - MARKET MELTDOWN - BAFFLING BAILOUTS - BANKRUPT BANKS - CREDIT CRISIS - RECORD UNEMPLOYMENT - RECORD FORECLOSURES - THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT? .............NOT NECESSARILY!

IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE

A FLORIDA FIRM ANNOUNCES THAT, AFTER ALL, THE 'TITANIC DOES HAVE LIFEBOATS', THERE IS A WAY OUT FOR A BUSINESS THAT MAY BE DROWNING IN PROBLEMS, help may not be far away for hard pressed employers and the threatened jobs of their workforce....."In the present economic crisis, business owners are being too quick to close their doors without properly exploring other survival and recovery options" responds Roderick Lloyd, President of Florida based turnaround specialists, Lloyd, Benton & Taylor, LLC ("LBT"). He goes on to say, "....while general consulting firms provide a vital service to the distressed business community, their process can take a year or more to complete by which time - and especially at the present time - many of their clients will be out of business and contributing to the lines of unemployed. In contrast, LBT specializes in fast 90 day turnarounds by focusing exclusively on all categories of business debt and the related debt servicing. Excessive debt is the number one factor in business failures. This is especially so in the fast moving crisis events of the last month, where businesses still remain highly geared while, at the same time, banks are looking to their own survival and, without warning, are indiscriminately freezing their customers' credit lines."
