"Our company, a small/mid-size business, which was successful for many years suddenly found itself in distress like so many others. We had an SBA Loan which we paid on for five years and could no longer support with an outstanding balance of 1.1 million. The bank forced a default leaving us in an impossible position because of personal guarantees attached to the loan. The business could not continue functioning and our income was eliminated. Second Wind Consultants were recommended to us. We spoke with Don Todorin and his team and they came up with an approach. After 35 years in business I was of course skeptical about the ability of Second Wind to be able to achieve what they outlined. The decision was hard on our end but we moved ahead and found that what they proposed and how they approached it resulted in success far beyond what I thought could be achieved.
We were able to obtain an acceptance of our Offer of Compromise with the SBA. Second Wind was focused, open to discussion with us, was our point person with the bank and the SBA, and we were able to settle our liability from 1.1 million to 20,000 paid over time.
In a time where few firms actually do what they say, Second Wind Consultants actually performed above and beyond my expectations. They were professional, knowledgeable and dedicated to helping us in our dilemma. In their venue, they are the 'Gold Standard' and I would and have recommended them without hesitation."

"WHEEEEW! It’s been a process but we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We owe you and your team a debt of gratitude and more for all of your persistence in dealing with our financial predicament. We realize how skeptical we were in the beginning, but the sleepless nights and constant stress were too much to handle and you graciously accepted to take both over for us, and you did.
From the time we made the decision to move forward with Second Wind Consultants, we have not regretted it for a single moment. Everything you explained to us in our initial meeting pretty much has happened and the constant calls from creditors has basically been depleted to little or none, with all being passed over to you and Second Wind. This was HUGE to us and essentially allowed us to concentrate on the more important things at hand.
From looking at bankruptcy to managing to keep our employees jobs and ours in place was a tremendous leap in the correct direction as opposed to the latter. We, our families, our employees, and our employees families are forever indebted to Second Wind Consultants for showing us the correct path to take in order to secure our future in our industry. $800K of debt and stress resolved for a minimal payment and peace of mind. For all this we THANK YOU!"

"A very sincere 'Thank You!' You did indeed deliver as you said that you would! We have come far in 15 months….in some cases that seems like such a short time, in other a lifetime. Looking back, I remain appreciative of you responding to my never-ending questioning and concerns initially, and for flying me up to meet you. I enjoyed our time together, as well as the 3 pound lobster! The meeting, our exchanges, the references and the information you provided really did help me get comfortable making a very pivotal decision to move forward with you and Second Wind. From the time I made that decision, I have not regretted it for a single moment. I very much enjoyed working with Adam to get through everything with the Bank and then the SBA. I was able to put everything in his hands and, with the updates I received, know that it was being handled. I knew that he had resources such as yourself and others to consult with along the way, as needed. I have to say, when I received the call from Adam to tell me that the SBA had accepted our Offer in Compromise, it was an amazing relief! I could physically feel a weight lift from my chest as the full realization of what that meant really hit me. Over $1.5M of debt forgiven. My personal guarantee satisfied with a comparatively minimal payment. The ability to put that behind me and my family and really focus on the future. Thank You!
Thank You Adam! Thank You Don!"

"To Whom it May Concern:
This letter is in reference to the fantastic job Adam Duso and Peter Turr have done for my wife and myself in the seemingly impossible task of securing an Offer In Compromise from CIT Small Business Lending and the SBA. Adam and Peter are both strategists with Second Wind Consultants of Massachusetts, a company headed by Donald Todrin that specializes in work out strategies with SBA loans that have gone awry.
My wife and I purchased a Chiropractic Clinic from a gentleman in Texas in 2005, through a series of workmen's compensation law changes and third party reimbursement changes as well as some significant misrepresentation on the part of the seller, we found ourselves in the unbelievable position of not being able to meet our commitments on an SBA loan that was over $1,000,000.00.
After trying every conceivable means at our disposal we found ourselves in the unenviable position of loosing everything we had worked our whole life for as well as ongoing indebtedness to the SBA. After seeing a web site for Second Wind Consultanst we decided to give it a try.
Adam and Peter were tremendous through the process. I would whole heartily recommend them to any one needing help with SBA workouts, both of these individuals were professional, thoughtful and treated us as "friends" throughout the worst time of our professional lives. Through their hard work and dedication we finally reached an Offer In Compromise from the SBA."

"We found Second Wind Consultants online and reached out, thinking things could not get any worse from where they were. Mr. Todrin and his staff immediately took control of the situation and removed virtually all collection attempts. They then worked with the bank and SBA through the process of removing our debt obligations, both business and personal. They dealt with vendors, leases, landlords, and all of the other issues associated with a failed business. The workout went so well that the banker involved offered to look for employment going forward for me after I closed the business.
We ended up paying $10,000.00 of the outstanding $400,000.00 and being released without issue from the remainder.
Through the process the creativity and extensive knowledge of the workout team as well as their willingness to address any and all questions kept us informed and kept the level of stress as low as possible. We have recommended this company to everyone in the franchise and colleagues in similar situations."
