The Rise Before the Fall

Excerpt:

Before the financial crisis, the businesses operated across property development, retail and warehousing sectors with structured growth and documented compliance.

Before the financial downturn, the business portfolio included:

• Property development projects
• Retail operations
• Warehouse and logistics facilities
• Long-term lease agreements
• Established banking relationships
• Financial statements reflected growth.
• Audits were completed.
• Loan agreements were serviced.
• This was not a speculative empire.
• It was structured, documented, and operational.
