LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the calendar turns to 2021, Kreshmore Group (KG) celebrates a successful transactional track record and its 11th year in business. Fiscal 2020 was a year without equal.

KG saw a busy year within its M&A service offering where success was achieved in completing transactions prior to, during, and after the Illinois stay-at-home lockdowns brought the economy to a virtual standstill. On the restructure side, with many clients facing uncertainty, the Kreshmore Group team shifted into gear to proactively put together liquidity conservation and restructure plans by working with lenders, landlords, and key management personnel to craft lean go-forward strategies. Despite the sports world being one of the hardest hit sectors, KG pulled through on the promise to further expand its sports offerings, add to its sports consulting team, and grow its loyal customer base.
