Build resilience. Maximise value.
Surgery
Restructure deeply. Regain control.
Reanimation
Controlled exit. Save what can be saved.
Check-up
We diagnose where money is being lost, where hidden risk is sitting, and what it is costing you. The output is a clear, prioritised picture you can act on.
Cash leak scanning
Identify where cash is silently lost across operations, contracts, and counterparties.
Liquidity visualisation & forecasting
A transparent, forward-looking view of cash-flow, including adverse scenario simulation and stress testing.
Multi-entity cash consolidation
Bring fragmented cash positions across legal entities into a single managed view.
Forensic review & fraud detection
Trace anomalies in transactions, vendors, and intercompany flows.
- A precise map of where the problems are and what they are worth.
- A prioritised risk register.
- A clear answer to “what next”.
- Before committing capital.
- When the numbers feel wrong.
- Before scaling.
Preventive Treatment
We strengthen the financial backbone of the business so it can absorb shocks, defend its margin, and meet investor or buyer scrutiny at the top of the valuation range.
Hedging programme architecture
FX, commodity, and interest-rate exposure hedging.
Pre-Exit Value Engineering
Prepare the business for sale or capital raise so buyers price it at the top of the range.
Working capital optimisation
Release trapped cash from receivables, payables, and inventory cycles.
Liquidity & cash control framework
Treasury rituals, authority matrices, and daily controls that prevent surprises.
Anti-crisis operating system
Early-warning indicators, escalation protocols, and stress playbooks ready before the crisis arrives.
Margin protection structures
Negotiate price pass-through, indexation, and shared-risk clauses with key suppliers and customers.
- Higher free cash flow.
- A margin that holds through volatility.
- Reduced exposure to external shocks.
- A business credible to acquirers and capital providers.
- 12–24 months before a planned sale or fundraise.
- After a near-miss.
- When the macro is shifting against the business.
Surgery
When the situation is stressed but the business is recoverable, we lead the operational and financial reset to regain control over liquidity.
Liquidity war room
Daily cash command, short-cycle decisions, and creditor prioritisation under stress.
Business model reset
Cut loss-making segments, rebuild unit economics, refocus on profitable cores.
Cost & contract renegotiation
Restructure the cost base and renegotiate supplier, lease, and service contracts.
Debt & capital restructuring
Reshape the debt stack, manage syndicated lender negotiations, address adverse derivatives (MTM losses).
Covenant resets & lender negotiations
Negotiate standstills, waivers, and amended covenants on the company’s behalf.
Lender-side advisory
Support secured creditors and syndicates in protecting capital from the lender’s seat.
- Cash gaps prevented. Core business and key assets preserved.
- A controlled, professional dialogue with creditors.
- Transition from chaos to management.
- When the bank starts asking weekly questions.
- When suppliers begin demanding cash on delivery.
- When cash runway is under 6 months.
Reanimation
When recovery is no longer realistic, the priority shifts to minimising loss and protecting value through a structured process, not a chaotic collapse. We act either for the company and its shareholders, or for the secured creditors who have taken control of the asset.
Insolvency planning & execution
Structure the insolvency path to protect residual value and minimise loss.
Statutory bankruptcy support
Lead the company and its advisors through formal proceedings.
Orderly liquidation
Run a controlled wind-down that maximises asset realisation.
Distressed asset management for secured creditors
Manage, stabilise, and exit stressed assets on behalf of lenders enforcing security or recovering capital.
- A controlled process replacing a chaotic collapse.
- Reduced shareholder loss or improved lender recovery.
- Key assets shielded throughout.
- When insolvency risk is high.
- Under active creditor pressure.
- When the decision to wind down or divest has been taken.
