  • High-impact diagnostics to support critical restructuring decisions

    Our Independent Situational Assessment is a flexible, insight-driven product designed to provide stakeholders with a clear, independent view of a business’s financial health and strategic viability at the outset of a restructuring or turnaround process.

    Whether distress is expected or already underway, the assessment offers objective analysis to guide urgent decision-making, build consensus, and accelerate stakeholder alignment.

    Modular Deliverables

    Module 1: Short-Term Cash Flow Assessment
    Liquidity visibility and operational breathing room

    This module focuses on building, reviewing, or validating a short-term (typically 13-week) cash flow forecast. It is designed to provide immediate clarity on the company’s liquidity position, helping identify potential shortfalls, timing mismatches, and funding gaps. We assess the integrity of the forecasting methodology, evaluate assumptions, and stress-test the cash position under various scenarios.

    This analysis is critical for understanding whether the business can continue operating as-is, whether urgent interventions are needed (e.g., payment deferrals, cash conservation), and how much time is available for longer-term restructuring efforts.

    Module 2: Business Plan Review and Challenge
    Strategic reality check and medium-term viability

    This module delivers a critical evaluation of the company's business plan, with a focus on sustainability and credibility in the long term. We analyse the revenue model, cost base, capital structure, and operational assumptions in the context of market conditions and internal capabilities. The goal is to determine whether the plan reflects a realistic path to recovery or growth, or whether it requires recalibration.

    This review is particularly valuable when engaging stakeholders around long-term decisions—such as refinancing, equity injections, operational restructuring, or formal turnaround planning.

  • Structured, forward-looking analysis to support high-stakes decisions

    Our Scenario Planning & Strategic Options Assessment is an insight-driven exercise designed to help both company leadership and financial stakeholders (such as lenders, investors, and boards) navigate periods of uncertainty, evaluate strategic alternatives, and make credible, well-informed decisions.

    Modular Deliverables

    Module 1: Scenario Planning and Sensitivity Analysis
    Understanding uncertainty and preparing for multiple outcomes

    This module focuses on building a structured view of how the business might perform under different future conditions—ranging from base-case to stress-case scenarios.

    We identify key drivers (e.g., revenue shocks, cost variability, regulatory changes, market disruptions) and model their impact on financial and operational performance. These scenarios are tailored to reflect both internal dynamics and external risks, providing a forward-looking lens for planning and stakeholder engagement.

    For management teams, this provides a playbook to guide proactive actions and contingency planning. For lenders or investors, it offers a clear view of the downside risk profile, recovery potential, and critical pressure points under varying conditions.

    Module 2: Strategic Options Assessment
    Evaluating credible, tailored paths forward

    This module delivers a clear, structured review of the strategic options available to the business, assessed against operational feasibility, financial impact, execution risk, stakeholder alignment, and timing. These may include refinancing, cost restructuring, divestitures, asset sales, new capital solutions, mergers, or controlled wind-downs.

    For companies, this supports internal alignment and external messaging. For lenders and other creditors, it provides transparency and a fact-based foundation for engaging in meaningful, collaborative discussions with management.

  • End-to-end leadership in complex negotiations. Representing creditors, syndicates, or company stakeholders with clarity, authority, and focus

    In situations of financial distress, operational disruption, or structural change, successful outcomes hinge on more than just good analysis. They require effective stakeholder engagement, clear communication, and decisive negotiation.

    Our Stakeholder Representation & Negotiation service is built to lead that process from start to finish, acting on behalf of creditors, lender syndicates, or company-side stakeholders to ensure their interests are protected, their voice is credible, and their objectives are achieved.

    We represent our clients through the full lifecycle of a negotiation—beginning with initial engagement, through information sharing and issue framing, to term development, stakeholder alignment, and final agreement.

    We take on the role of lead negotiator or chief advisor, guiding all aspects of the process and coordinating with legal, financial, and operational counterparts to ensure consistency and momentum.

    Our experience spans both sides of the table:

    • On the creditor side, we advocate on behalf of banks, funds, or lender syndicates. Helping to form unified positions, assess restructuring proposals, and drive commercial outcomes that reflect risk, recoverability, and reputational concerns.

    • On the company side, we support management teams and boards in preparing for and managing difficult negotiations with creditors, investors, landlords, or regulators. Ensuring communication is strategic, proposals are credible, and engagement is constructive.

    Throughout, we focus on maintaining momentum, managing expectations, and bridging the gap between competing interests toward a sustainable, workable outcome.

  • Embedded leadership to stabilize, transform, and deliver results. When it matters most

    In the wake of a transaction, during a restructuring, or amid operational disruption, organizations often face the need of independent leadership profiles.

    Our Interim Executive Appointments service provides seasoned, hands-on and independent leadership in the form of Chief Restructuring Officers (CROs), interim CEOs, or interim CFOs, embedded directly into the business to drive clarity, control, and momentum.

    We step in to lead from the front, stabilizing performance, managing stakeholders, and executing on short-term priorities while laying the groundwork for long-term transformation.

    Typical mandates include:

    • Restructuring leadership, including liquidity management, stakeholder negotiations, and turnaround planning

    • Post-transaction execution, such as implementing a new operating model, driving integration, or delivering cost programs

    • Executive gap cover, where an urgent departure or leadership void needs to be filled quickly and credibly

    • Crisis response and transformation, including performance recovery, governance reset, or investor engagement

    Whether stabilizing a distressed business, leading a post-deal transformation, or preparing an organization for its next chapter, our Interim Executive Appointments provide the leadership needed to move forward with independence, focus and control.
