Financial restructuring involves altering the capital structure of a company or group specifically where the businesses are unable to meet the servicing requirements of the existing debt obligations. 

Our financial restructuring experts help businesses navigate the often-unfamiliar restructuring environment. Our team will support you in formulating, negotiating and implementing innovative financial restructuring solutions.

Objectives of financial restructuring

  • Provide resolution of the company’s debts and immediate liquidity problems by effective short-term corrective actions.

  • Strengthen the company’s viability by anchoring debt to sustainable cashflow available for debt servicing.

  • Rehabilitation of the company enabling it to become more competitive by implementing effective middle and longer-term strategies.

  • Restoration of creditor confidence.

  • Enhance recovery for all stakeholders – giving them a better recovery than what they are facing now.

We offer the following services

Debt Restructuring

We assess the current situation of the business and its debt-carrying capacity and assist to formulate restructuring proposals that effectively match (timing, quantum, currency etc.) the company’s debt repayment obligations to its cashflows.

Financial Advisory

We have extensive experience in providing advisory support to companies that are seeking to:

  • Raise capital to address funding gaps.

  • Effectively manage stakeholders such as lenders and creditors.

  • Implement restructuring plans and restructuring schemes resulting from a debt restructuring exercise.

Liquidity monitoring

We support businesses in strengthening liquidity through accurate cash flow forecasting, scenario planning, and real-time analytics to enable informed decision making. Our team engages key stakeholders including lenders and advisers to manage liquidity effectively, conducts rapid reviews to enhance cash transparency, and identifies long-term funding needs to secure optimal financing. We also embed lasting capabilities by transferring tools and skills that foster a high performing cash culture, while monitoring covenant compliance to mitigate risks associated with high debt levels.
