Financial restructuring
Analyse, Restructure, Rebound
Whether originally structural or cyclical, various endogenous or exogenous factors may lead a business into a crisis, no matter at which development stage it might be (growth, maturity, etc.). Anticipating the management of these factors and identifying appropriate solutions as early as possible is vital to maximise leverages and possibilities for rebound.
Your Challenges
- Obtain a robust financial performance diagnosis;
- Have a clear visibility over the cash flow forecast;
- Be guided through the specific legal procedures to deal with difficulties;
- Plan the rebound and the emerging from the crisis.
Relying on a financial restructuring advisor means optimising the chances of a successful and sustainable turnaround by gaining in efficiency and time, allowing the general and financial management teams to focus on the strategy and management of the business.
Our Key Services
Our engagement proposals are tailor-made in order to match your situation and the particular issues of your business.
IBR
Our Independent Business Review (IBR) provides a reliable and objective analysis of the financial situation of a business, and allows to:
- Identify the root causes for under-performance and the potential areas of losses;
- Assess cash management optimisation solutions (WCR, alternative levers, etc.);
- Analyse the cash generation and the financial/restructuring requirements.
Crisis exit plan
Our modelling and analysis of restructuring scenarios show the impact of operational and financial measures on the forecasts, in order to:
- Challenge the impact of downgraded scenarios (sensitivities and stress tests) on the cash flow forecast;
- Analyze the company’s capacity to reimburse its debt and the acceptable covenants;
- Optimize the negotiations with financial creditors to restructure the debt and calibrate CAPEX authorizations.
