Not sure where to start? Am I insolvent? answers the question most people arrive with.
Turnaround and rescue
Business turnaround, rescue and restructuring.
The earlier we are involved, the more there is to work with. Where a business is fundamentally viable but under strain, there are usually more options than a director under pressure can see.
We look at cash, margin, funding, creditor pressure and the shape of the order book, and form a view on viability on a realistic basis rather than a hopeful one. That view drives everything else: business rescue is an outcome, not a procedure, and the route to it depends on what the review finds.
What a restructuring can involve
Solutions are rarely a single instrument. More often it is a combination of measures, sequenced so that each one buys room for the next.
Renegotiating terms with key creditors and HMRC
Cost and working-capital restructuring
Refinancing, or an orderly sale of part of the business
A formal arrangement with creditors where informal agreement is not achievable
And where it is not viable
Where rescue is not realistic, we will say so plainly rather than run an expensive process that only delays the outcome. Knowing that early protects value, and protects you.
Earlier advice can preserve options and value. Later advice usually cannot recover them.
