Business Restructuring Services

Overview

In order for troubled companies to find ways to survive and turn around, management and shareholders/creditors need to clarify business objectives and set mutually agreed upon short and long-term goals. Based on our analyses of clients’ industries and their business structures and operations, we provide assessments of both management capability and company assets, and recognize areas of underperformance to identify ineffective business strategies. We help design and implement action plans to improve profitability through both operational and financial restructuring. If necessary, we will find the most effective way to handle company closure.

Strategic Planning

In strategic planning, an organization needs to have clear objectives, policies and plans to achieve these objectives, and resources for implementation. The company needs to analyze the business environment to make sure the company’s strategy is appropriate to its resources and objectives. We can help clients refine their corporate strategies to place them in a position to carry out their mission effectively.

Leveraged and Management Buyouts

In a LBO the buyout group finances the transaction with funds borrowed against the assets of projected cash flows of the entity being acquired. If carefully planned and executed, management buyout (MBO) can work as an exit mechanism for founders and investors. We assist the management group and the investor to negotiate the terms and select the deal most favorable to both. A LBO or MBO offers an incentive structure for management to business owners.
