Restructuring
A credible turnaround plan, with numbers your funders can trust.
When a business is under pressure, banks, creditors and investors want to see a realistic way forward before they commit more money or time. We write that plan.
What funders and creditors need to see
A turnaround plan is read by people who have already been let down once. It has to be honest and specific.
- What went wrong, stated plainly
- What changes now, who is responsible, and by when
- A 24-month cash flow that shows how the business gets through
- The refinancing or new money needed, and how it is repaid
- The risks, and the plan if things go slower than expected
