Building financial discipline and funding growth for a managed-offices platform

Blueprint launched last year with a simple offer for large corporates. The team designs, builds, and runs turnkey offices, then charges a single monthly fee per seat. Quality execution drove rapid growth. By the time we engaged, several large projects were delivered and a strong pipeline was in hand. Cash was the constraint. Short-tenor, high-cost debt was funding contractor payments, which strained liquidity. Financials were fragmented. Project-level profitability was unclear. Leadership did not have a dependable cash forecast, so payments to key suppliers slipped and attractive new projects were put on hold.

1. Clean reporting and real project accounting

We coached the in-house accountant to rebuild the chart of accounts and move to project-based ledgers. Work-in-progress, retention, and punch-list reserves were formalized. All loan schedules were consolidated so interest and principal landed correctly in both project results and group results. We reconciled historicals and produced the first reliable view of margins by site and the roll-up at company level.

2. Cash clarity

We built a weekly cash waterfall that links each project’s milestone billings to contractor draws, rent-free build periods, and debt service. A living model shows profit growth and cash needs if the full pipeline is accepted and delivered on time. Leadership can now see when cash dips will occur and what size facilities are required to bridge them.

3. Proving the economics

Once the data was clean, the numbers showed the business is strongly profitable at both project and company level. The issue was timing of cash, not unit economics. That insight shifted internal debate from whether to grow to how to finance growth responsibly.

4. Right-sized debt

We approached lenders with a credit story that matched operating reality. The package included a three-statement model, project schedules, signed client contracts, and covenant scenarios. Commitments now cover roughly half of near-term capital needs. We are engaging additional lenders to complete the stack.

5. Equity story for scale

In parallel we are crafting an equity narrative aimed at regional growth. The story centers on contracted per-seat cash flows, a fully managed operating model, and a pipeline in proven hubs. We are building the data room and outreach list to bring on investors who add capital and strategic relationships for city expansion and selective vertical integration where it lowers cost or improves control.

6. Operating cadence

We instituted monthly management review meetings. Each MMR deep dives into project margins, cash burn, lender covenants, and bid discipline, and ends with clear decisions on which projects to accept and when to release contractor draws.

Blueprint now runs with clean monthly financials, dependable project P&Ls, and a forward cash view the team trusts. The first round of debt refinances is in place, vendor payments are back on schedule, and previously paused projects are moving forward. An equity raise is underway, and the MMR cadence keeps execution tight. With financing aligned to project timing and a disciplined review rhythm, the company can scale its managed-office footprint while protecting liquidity.
