Our Restructuring Consulting Services
We take a detailed and tactical approach to business restructuring, offering solutions designed to tackle challenges head on.
Financial Restructuring
When a company’s finances are under strain, stabilization is critical. Our financial restructuring services focus on:
- Debt restructuring and renegotiation to improve repayment terms and lower financial burdens.
- Cash flow management uses tools like liquidity forecasting to stabilize operations.
- Identifying underperforming assets and providing strategies to divest or repurpose them effectively.
For instance, when a technology firm faced overwhelming debt due to a failed product launch, we successfully renegotiated their loans, reducing their financial obligations by 35%.
Operational Restructuring
Operational inefficiencies can cripple profitability. We streamline processes and refine workflows through:
- Process audits to identify bottlenecks in production or service delivery.
- Implementing methodologies like lean manufacturing and Six Sigma to reduce waste.
- Centralizing procurement and supply chain operations for better cost control.
One of our clients, a retail chain, saved over £250,000 annually by consolidating fragmented logistics operations and implementing a single-point procurement system.
Crisis Management
Businesses in crisis require rapid, decisive action. Our team specializes in:
- Immediate liquidity support through receivables financing or bridge loans.
- Managing stakeholder relations, including creditors, investors, and employees.
- Creating clear, actionable turnaround strategies customized to your specific challenges.
When a logistics company approached us during a profitability crisis, we introduced route refining tools and revised their service pricing model, delivering a 20% profit increase in three months.
Strategic Turnarounds
A successful turnaround goes beyond immediate fixes. We focus on long term strategies by:
- Developing market driven repositioning plans to align with new opportunities.
- Closing underperforming divisions to reallocate resources to more profitable areas.
- Conducting competitive benchmarking to identify gaps and opportunities for expansion.
In-Depth Diagnostics
We begin by conducting a detailed assessment of your business’s current state. This involves:
- Financial Statement Analysis: Reviewing income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements to identify irregularities, inefficiencies, and risks.
- Operational Workflow Audits: Analyzing processes across departments to detect bottlenecks, redundancies, or misaligned workflows that affect productivity.
- Market Positioning Review: Evaluating your competitive stance, identifying missed opportunities, and benchmarking performance against industry standards.
Customised Solutions
Once we’ve identified the root causes, we develop actionable strategies personalized to your unique needs. Using advanced tools and methodologies, we ensure our solutions are not only effective but also practical to implement. Key techniques include:
- EBITDA Variance Analysis: Highlighting deviations between projected and actual performance to pinpoint areas requiring immediate attention.
- Stress Testing: Simulating various financial scenarios to evaluate resilience under different economic conditions.
- Debt Restructuring Plans: Crafting repayment schedules, prioritizing creditor negotiations, and assessing alternative funding options.
Hands On Execution
We don’t just provide plans and leave you to execute them. Our team works directly with your executives and operational staff to implement every aspect of the strategy, ensuring no detail is overlooked. Execution involves:
- Debt Negotiations: Engaging with creditors to extend terms, reduce interest rates, or establish payment plans that alleviate immediate financial pressures.
- Operational Adjustments: Restructuring workflows, reallocating resources, and aligning teams to increase efficiency.
- Stakeholder Management: Communicating plans effectively with employees, investors, and creditors to maintain trust and cooperation.
Monitoring and Reporting
We believe in transparency and accountability, which is why we provide real time tracking of progress and outcomes throughout the restructuring process. Our monitoring and reporting phase includes:
- Key Performance Metrics: Measuring improvements in cash flow, expense reduction, profitability, and other financial indicators.
- Regular Updates: Weekly or bi weekly progress reports are shared with your leadership team, ensuring everyone is aligned on milestones and adjustments.
- Information backed Decisions: Using analytics dashboards to refine strategies in real time based on performance data and external market factors.
