Businesses occasionally encounter financial and operational difficulties that could lead to their demise. One way of avoiding total shutdown is through a restructuring, which reduces the level and severity of financial losses.
A restructuring involves radically changing a company’s organizational, financial and operating structure to permanently and swiftly address serious financial and operational issues that could lead to a corporation’s shutdown or liquidation. With a restructuring, companies change contractual relationships with debt holders and creditors, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. Restructuring essentially acts as an in-depth reorganization conducted for the primary purpose of returning a corporation to profitability and productivity.
We are objective third-party advisors, combining quick strategic advice on the situation and the solution. We do this by providing detail analysis based on an independent business review and cash flow forecast of the company. We identify appropriate debt restructuring options in terms of value for the different stakeholders, arranging and achieving financial close involving all the different stakeholders. We also take a leading financial advisory role, with a deep knowledge of the different pre-insolvency options available, to help the agreement take place.
