The need for some form of viable business, time, finance vision, commitment and key stakeholder support is critical to a succesful turnaround (whether solvent or not) and we have;
- the detailed technical knowledge and practical experience to create and deliver a properly planned distress | crisis management | stabilisation and turnaround | restructuring strategy
- the relationships with and confidence of funders (debt and equity) who will invest in and lend to underperforming, distressed and businesses in crisis
- the ability to deal with various stakeholders in businesses ranging from management through to suppliers | customers | employees | lenders and shareholders.
It is a model we have tried and succeeded with and are constantly refining and updating and we pride ourselves on our success over the years in achieving solutions for a vast array of SME businesses in numerous sectors.
There is lots of advice for directors starting a business but less advice for when it is established and gets into difficulties. In our experience many owner directors will not have received any formal structured training on the specific techniques and knowledge needed when a business is in difficulty however severe and many will only resort to seeking help when the difficulties have become severe and distress and crisis has ensued risking their own livelihoods and the livelihoods of others.
Directors also face ever increasing risks as the bar by which they are judged is raised higher and higher with the ever increasing risks of personal liability. (For more information see our dedicated section on Directors Duties | Liabilities and Practical Advice).
It is important to seek out and receive expert advice and find the real experts you need with the real expertise that they claim they have.
We are here to help you and our people have real technical and practical expertise gained over decades in their professions so whether you need a solution and | or finance as part of the solution call us. See details of process and cost and the Venture Promise.
Time is critical in most of our assignments whether it is one off project focussed on a specific issue; a turnaround | restructuring solution and | or finance that is being sought. The earlier our intervention the more the extent of the options which are normally available. We are certainly capable of helping to heal the sick but cannot raise the dead. The longer the issues are left unresolved the more limited the options become.
First and foremost in view of the sensitivities of our assignments complete confidentiality is assured throughout and accordingly we do not have testimonials on our site. Subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements being signed we will disclose to you on a no names basis details of assignments concluded.
