> Corporate simplification & restructure

We specialize in advising on out-of-court restructurings and recapitalizations with favourable outcomes for our clients. We negotiate with creditors on behalf of our clients, especially in cases of financial stress or distress. We advise on and structure a wide variety of transactions, including tender and exchange offers, rescue financing or recapitalizations, “amend and extend” amendments, as well as pre-packaged rescues.

> Sale of assets

When a company has decided to sell a company or selected assets, we help clients weigh the pros and cons of sale strategies, including: selling the company or assets as an alternative to business rescue or liquidation

> Managed wind-down or business rescue

Our team consists of several licensed, experienced and senior business rescue practitioners who have a wealth of experience.

We will guide you through the decision to apply for business rescue, arrange the required post commencement funding and ensure the process is implemented before handing the company back to the shareholders.

Our approach is to conduct an independent outside- in assessment with complete objectivity, taking a dispassionate view of internal politics.

Based on our professional experience using tried and tested tools and methodologies, we are able to rapidly spot areas of concern and develop solutions that may not be apparent to management.

Our methodology follows a structured framework which is adapted to the actual situation.

We remain independent throughout the process and in all decision-making, allowing us to take the sometimes unpopular, yet necessary decisive steps for survival.

We facilitate change by managing stakeholders and involving the organisation in designing and implementing change, and take a compassionate view towards employees affected by restructuring, helping with outplacement programmes and fully consulting with labour unions.

We project manage the turnaround, allowing management to get on with the day-to-day job of managing the business.

We aim to align and reach consensus with all stakeholders, including banks, investors, board, management, employees, customers and suppliers.

We have successfully conducted turnaround assignments for over 25 years
