About Tempus Partners

Tempus Partners is an organization of seasoned executives who have worked together for years, successfully steering companies through troubled times to restore corporate value.  We are not consultants who will, in a few days or a couple of weeks, provide you with a cash flow analysis or an estimate of liquidation value.  Instead, we provide long-term, on-site leadership that continues at full tilt until we have restored value and improved outcomes for all stakeholders.  When we are retained, we are prepared for a full restoration process:  taking the majority of seats on the Board of Directors, filling all senior management slots, raising capital, settling regulatory or compliance concerns, regaining vendor confidence, establishing new banking relationships, retaining or regaining key customers and repairing employee morale.  When we exit, your company is ready to be sold on favorable terms or continue as a going concern. 

Even if you‘re on the right track, you‘ll get run over if you just sit there. 

Companies in crisis must tackle multiple problems simultaneously. Tempus Partners provides a team of seasoned managers — veterans of company turnarounds — to: 

                                                           •           Immediately control cash flow.

                                                           •           Develop a viable business strategy.

                                                           •           Restore the confidence of key customers.
                                                           •           Motivate a company’s sales team.

                                                           •           Raise equity capital. Tempus executives invest in our own 
                                                                       turnarounds to provide additional capital and to increase lender
                                                                       confidence in our turnaround strategies.

                                                           •           Settle class action lawsuits, regulatory and compliance concerns.
                                                                       Tempus executives have successfully settled multiple shareholder
                                                                       lawsuits, and managed companies through intense regulatory
                                                                       investigations and scrutiny.

                                                           •           Remove and replace under-performing management.
                                                           •           Incent top performers to stay.

                                                           •           Improve Operating Margins.

                                                           •           Work with financial institutions to restore their confidence to open
                                                                        the flow of credit. Once corporate value has been restored, we stay
                                                                        with the company until it has been sold or a new, permanent
                                                                        management team has been recruited.

Time is the most precious commodity in a turnaround.  Many turnarounds fail to meet expectations because of the time it takes for the new CEO to recruit new management or because of the time required for new management to jell and reach peak performance. Alone, a new CEO cannot successfully restore corporate value. Tempus Partners maximizes your chance for a successful turnaround by providing a full team of senior executives, all of who have worked together on turnarounds and know and trust each other’s strengths and capabilities. 

Tempus Partners executives have worked side by side for ten years in crisis situations. We cover the full range of key corporate functions — CEO, finance, marketing and sales, operations and human resources — and we specialize in successfully restoring corporate value and revitalizing distressed companies.

Experience is not what happens to you;

it is what you do with what happens to you.

Tempus Partners executives have successfully conducted hands-on turnarounds resulting in the complete restoration of corporate value of two companies: PSC, Inc. and Centennial Technologies, Inc. In each case, multiple problems had to be solved simultaneously, underscoring the value of Tempus Partners’ team approach.

  Is Tempus right for you? 

No two turnarounds are alike. The turnaround firm most likely to succeed will depend on the severity of your problem, the size and type of your company and your desired outcome. You should consider Tempus Partners if your situation and goals include most of the following:not a short-term liquidation. 

                                     •           You need — and are willing to invest in — a complete turnaround team that will
                                                  stick with you for the long term. 

                                     •           You want a team who is willing to take an ownership interest in your company.

                                     •           You want your turnaround partners to assume the majority of seats on the Board of
                                                  Directors and take full responsibility for a successful turnaround.

                                     •           Your company is in the technology or financial services industry.

If most or all of these conditions describe your situation, Tempus Partners may be the best fit for your turnaround needs.
