BUSINESS REVIEW

We provide tailored, independent business review services to the business shareholders, company Board of Directors or other stakeholders (eg. lenders or consortium of lenders, commercial suppliers), needing to address concerns about a potentially distressed business they have an interest in, seeking information required for the decision making process and/or a catalyst for change. 

Our main aims in performing a business review include:

• providing clarity as to the current financial/operational standing of the company under review;
• rebuilding of trust between the business and its stakeholders where possible by addressing communication issues;
• analysing the options available in the short to medium – long term;
• making recommendations for the optimal way forward.

Reports will point key risks and financial prospects of the underperforming business.

We will tailor the scope of work to the industry or specific request of each assignment, but typically an engagement comprises the review of:

• past performance, cash flows, assets and liabilities, reasons for underperformance;
• current financing and collateral structure, most important agreements with a significant impact on the business;
• short term cash needs and available funds (short term liquidity)
• future performance, including business model drivers, cash flow dynamics, working capital requirements and Key Performance Indicators, as well as an analysis of the relevant market, with the aim to determine the business viability; available options, which may include: balance sheet reconstruction, turnaround, accelerated sale, controlled wind-down, insolvency etc.
