Dartmouth Associates Inc.

Dartmouth Associates, founded in 1984, has a litany of successes from transforming underperforming operations into profitable businesses even in tough times. We bring a unique mixture of common sense, hands-on experience and knowledge to helping our client’s solve their business problems.

We are differentiated by our knowledge and practical experience of operational turnarounds in many underperforming companies and knowledge of capital markets. Our experience from owning and leading companies, solving real problems and building shareholder value, offers significant value to our clients.

We work with companies that are:

Established with revenues generally greater than $10mm

Fast growing, underperforming or distressed and need capital and/or experienced help to optimize profitability

Public reporting or privately held

Located in the Western US and Western Canada

We specialize in providing clients with two key services:

operational turnaround expertise and knowledge to firstly stabilize, then restore profitable operations in fast growth, underperforming or distressed companies. We build the foundation for success

sourcing debt and equity capital to strengthen their balance sheet and provide cash for working capital and strategic growth needs

Often, companies need both turnaround and capital help at the same time. Dartmouth takes a holistic view of its client’s business from practical experience, and we literally “roll our sleeves up” and go to work to fix inefficient operations and generate both internal and external sources of cash to optimize each company situation. We start by finding the root of business problems and then systematically fixing them, quickly and efficiently.

We identify with client situations because we have personally been in the “hot seat”, actually running many successful companies and making the tough decisions. We know what its like to operate in time sensitive situations trying to successfully juggle many competing priorities at once and keeping other stakeholders positively motivated.

Our extensive experience in revitalizing troubled companies makes us a credible professional turnaround partner to help clients chart a successful course of action to get from current state to future state in the midst of market turmoil. We begin with the philosophy of trying to preserve as much enterprise value as possible. We bring a very pragmatic approach in time sensitive situations to quickly assessing the operating environment and the various interests and risks involved before implementing a turnaround plan.

We place high importance on maintaining integrity and being a trusted partner with all interested stakeholders including stockholders, lenders, creditors and staff. We have been a trusted partner in many situations - in our experience, being able to navigate competing interests is critical to our client’s success.

We don't deliver beautifully bound reports, we just deliver results! Our clients respect us for doing the right thing.
