Restructuring with a focus on stability and future-proofing

For businesses in dire financial straits, quick and thoughtful action is needed. Deteriorating margins, disappearing customers or limited liquidity can threaten the continuity of your organisation. Intervention is necessary, but how do you do that when you are busy putting out fires every day?

Financial restructuring will help you set the right priorities and regain an overview. We guide companies through challenging times, aiming for stability, prospects and preserving value for all involved.

How can we help you?

We start with a thorough analysis of the situation: where are the bottlenecks, what are the underlying causes, and where are the opportunities? On this basis, we develop a tailor-made restructuring strategy with you. Whether it is about optimising your cash flow, renegotiating debt or achieving a turnaround, we are your partner every step of the way. We provide clarity to stakeholders and help you regain control of your operations.

Frequently asked questions

People often wait too long before seeking help. If you notice that you have structural liquidity problems, margins are under pressure or communication with financiers is difficult, that is an important signal. The earlier you start a restructuring process, the better the chances of a successful and relatively smooth solution. It allows you to manage proactively, make choices based on facts and stay in control of your organisation – rather than reacting to a crisis.

A restructuring is aimed at recovery and continuity. It is a voluntary and strategic process where you address financial and operational bottlenecks to make the company future proof again. Bankruptcy, on the other hand, is a legal procedure that usually follows when there is no way out. A timely restructuring will help you avoid that very situation. With the right strategy and guidance, you can refinance debt, improve processes and convince stakeholders of your organisation's recovery potential.

Stakeholders want certainty and transparency. A well-founded plan, including clear financial analyses, clear timelines and concrete measures, increases confidence. We will help you draw up such a plan and communicate with banks, shareholders or suppliers. An independent business review is often an important step to increase credibility. By clearly showing where opportunities lie and how risks are managed, you can count on more support for your recovery process.
