Company and management under critical pressure need help, support and in short, solutions.

Our initial review will concentrate on the immediate threats facing the company shareholders and management. We will then deal with these in whatever way is appropriate in the circumstances. These reviews are almost always without any cost to you.

Because of our position and experience in the market, our involvement is usually welcomed by your major creditors, particularly your bank and the Crown.

We are aware there is likely to be a cash shortage, so do not let this inhibit you from talking to us.

Below is a list of tasks we undertake in most cases.

• Introducing new capital

This has and always will be our key driver. We have an outstanding record or delivering new capital quickly into businesses suffering cash difficulties. If you've not already done so, please see more information on how we can deliver investment to your business.


• Negotiating with creditors

We will talk to trade creditors, the bank, the VAT office or whoever to ensure that we have enough breathing space to implement any recovery plans. We are well known throughout the banking community and also the Crown so usually our intervention can make a difference.


• Cashflow management

We will take on the burden of cashflow management to ensure that cash is used wisely and for the best interests of the business. We will happily place ourselves between the owners and their creditors, in order to relieve stress and to allow the Directors to concentrate upon their own responsibilities.


• Bettering existing funding facilities

Often existing funding arrangements are inappropriate to the changing fortunes of the business, and we will use our extensive range of contacts among lenders (which can include existing lenders) to effect any immediate re-financing that is necessary.


• Formal Re-structuring

In many cases, some formal re-structuring of the business is the best way forward. Whether this is through a CVA or Pre-Packaged Administration or any other method is a matter to be discussed on a case by case basis. There is lots of sound advice on this web site regarding Insolvency issues. One piece of advice always stands out every time: Stay in Control. It is essential that you the business owner, stay in control of matters at all times. We are not Insolvency Practitioners and can therefore act in your best interests at all times. All Insolvency Practitioners act for creditors - this is no bad thing, but they are not acting for you. You need sound advice and you need to control the issues that are surrounding you in terms of creditor and bank pressure, solvency issues and fire fighting.


• Staying on board after Completion

We are a people business where relationships develop between our associates and our clients. We are often asked to stay with the client for a short period of time after our transactional work is completed. Sometimes this is crucial to ensure continued support from the business stakeholders. With our vast experience in the turnaround world, our advice and guidance through the first few months post re-structuring can be invaluable for our clients.
