FINANCIAL CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING
Companies in financial difficulty often have no cash management or asset financing strategy. Many companies use their operating lines to fund all activities of the business including fixed assets. Their cash flow analysis and forecasting capabilities are often incomplete and consequently they do not manage their borrowing in line with the natural cycle of their business and/or the life of their asset base.
We work to enhance the value of assets and in structuring and executing a financial plan and corporate organization that will ensure sustainable growth and value creation.
