Execution Services

We help under-performing businesses or those who are experiencing temporary pressure on trading by assisting in assessing and improving performance. Such an assessment takes place in phase I (our Advisory Services phase).

We will work closely with you to deliver a robust and viable plan designed to provide the business with the required breathing space and time to stabilise the company and then effect the strategic plan, turnaround plan or restructuring proposal.

Our strong relationships across the financial community amongst banks and other financial institutions allow us to facilitate communication between affected parties, yet work independently to gain the support of management and the key stakeholders or lenders. In addition, through our debt advisory team ,we are able to explore sources of new or additional capital for the business.

We are cognisant of the fact that management may lack time and experience of a crisis situation, underperforming business or restructuring situation. Accordingly we are able to put management and stakeholders in contact with experienced independent turnaround professionals who can step into executive and advisory roles to compliment and/or support the existing management team.

Potential challenges you may be faced with:

As a business
  • Cash pressure or liquidity shortfall;
  • Squeeze on working capital;
  • Continuous losses or declining profitability;
  • Unsustainable operating costs;
  • Uncertain about the outlook of the market – how can you mitigate the risk on the business
  • Over leveraged and actual or potential breach of covenants;
  • Regular unexpected business surprises and you feel you are losing control
   As a stakeholder
  • You are concerned about the achievability of managements forecasts and projections;
  • You need to understand what is happening in the market and industry quickly;
  • You are uncertain about management ability to turn the business around on their own due to lack of situational experience;
  • You are concerned about the value of the business eroding even more;
  • Concerned about the viability of management’s business model.
   As a lender
  • Will the business be able to service their current levels of debt;
  • Are managements forecasts achievable in the current market;
  • You are uncertain that management are able to recover the business on their own due to lack of experience in this type of situation;
  • What level of debt can the business sustain.

How we can support you :

  • Assist you in developing and implementing a restructuring proposal (financial, operational and debt) which delivers solutions and helps build a platform of recovery.
  • Advice in relation to Chapter 6 Business Rescue - with the implementation of the new Companies Act (2008), Chapter 6 proceedings preclude the enforcement of liquidation action until the “Business Rescue” process for a company has been explored. This may raise questions and potential concerns for both the directors and relevant stakeholders depending on who triggers the proceedings.
  • We will work with you to deliver a robust and viable plan designed to provide the business with the breathing space and time required to stabilise the business and then effect a turnaround.
  • Assist you in determining the right strategic priorities for profitable growth and offer support and practical solutions in order to achieve your growth objectives.
  • Rebuild stakeholder confidence in the business by acting as a catalyst to encourage all parties to work together to develop consensual solutions.
