Special Situations
In stressed balance sheets, partner separations and periods of transformation we set out the options realistically and run the process.
In special situations the most expensive decision is not deciding. As time passes the number of options falls and negotiating power moves to the other side. In these mandates our first task is to produce an unembellished picture, our second to rank the remaining options, and our third to bring the parties onto the same set of numbers.
Scope
- Rapid financial assessment and short-term cash flow projection
- Option analysis: restructuring, new capital, asset sale, merger
- Negotiation strategy and process management with creditor banks
- Running asset and business line disposals (carve-outs)
- Structuring partner separations and shareholder exits
- Access to rescue capital and bridge financing
- Building the financial side of an operational turnaround plan
- Coordinating information and negotiation between the parties
Outcomes
- A single, undisputed set of numbers agreed by all parties
- Realistic options ranked by feasibility and time required
- A sustainable restructuring plan aligned with cash flow
- A fair and workable exit structure in a partner separation
Who It's For
- Companies struggling with debt service and returning to the table with creditors
- Groups facing a separation or exit among shareholders
- Companies seeking to carve out a non-core business line
- Transformation processes requiring a rapid capital injection
Our Advisory Areas
We take mandates in six principal areas. Most real assignments sit at the intersection of several; we build the structure as a whole.
Corporate Finance
We define correctly the capital a company needs for growth, investment or transformation, make it financeable and secure it from the right source.
Learn moreMergers and Acquisitions
We manage company sales, share transfers and strategic acquisitions from start to finish, representing one side only from valuation through to closing.
Learn moreCapital Structuring
We redesign the company's balance sheet to match the real rhythm of its cash flow: the right instrument, the right maturity, the right security.
Learn moreProject and Development Finance
We turn investment projects into financeable structures whose repayment rests on the project's own cash flow.
Learn moreInternational Advisory
Wherever capital or a company crosses a border, we build the structure with the realities of each jurisdiction in view.
