Turnaround, Rescue and Recovery

Are You Struggling to Keep Your Business Afloat?

We are specialists in company rescue, restructuring and refinancing. We use a combination of little known but very powerful tools available under the 1986 Insolvency Act, and a wide range of flexible funding instruments to refinance businesses, which might otherwise fail.

Below are the three most common situations that business people find themselves in:

You are a Director of a Company that is in financial difficulties
It is very likely that this is the first time that you have been in this situation. It is undoubtedly a stressful time for you and your co-directors. You will also be experiencing a significant number of unwelcome pressures.

You are an Individual in Personal Financial Difficulties
As an insolvent debtor you are probably, for the first time in your life, facing complex technical choices of which you have no specialist knowledge and prior experience.

You are a partner of a partnership which is in financial difficulty
You are a Partner of a partnership which is in financial difficulty. You and your fellow partners may also be in financial difficulties in your personal capacities.

If you think you may be insolvent, it is important, because of the complexity and serious consequences, to take professional advice from a specialist in insolvency.

Please contact us for a FREE initial consultation. There is no obligation and total confidentiality is assured. At the very least, you will have a second opinion.

Is your business in need of refinancing or does it sometimes have cash flow problems?

It is our experience that many businesses in today's economic climate are currently under-funded or experiencing cash flow difficulties, some because they cannot finance growth or restructuring, others because of trading problems.

If this sounds familiar, you might like to talk to us; we may be able to help.

Very few businesses can maximise their borrowing potential, for a number or reasons: limited assets; prior fixed and floating charges; poor financial status; bad advice; poor access to the financial market place; and consequently ignorance of all the available options.

As a result, many business opportunities are lost and a number of businesses fail.

We have established links with providers of asset and equity finance, factors, confidential invoice discounters, and both institutional and private venture capitalists who are actively involved in restructuring and are prepared to back management and viable businesses - even those with poor status and limited assets.

So, if you are in need of additional or replacement finance and would like further information on our services, or if you are concerned about your company's financial position, why not contact us.
