Definition
Turnaround finance is the financial strategies and funding used to support business turnaround efforts. Founders reach for it when a vague conversation needs a shared, specific meaning. Name it clearly, then let the next decision — a hire, a price, a test, or a pass — follow from that meaning.

Common mistake
Using Turnaround finance as a label instead of a fact. If you cannot point to the evidence — a number, a customer, or a written assumption — you are using the word as jargon.
