Business turnaround services
Tools and resources
we have answers.
With a fresh set of eyes, our team can come into any situation with complete objectivity. We can analyse and see solutions that people too close to the business simply can’t see.
This objectivity is also a benefit when it comes to the many critical decisions that need to be made during the turnaround process. To stop a company going under, these decisions must be made quickly. This is why, enlisting the help of a turnaround specialist is so important.
What does business turnaround involve?
We follow a proven process in order to turnaround your business before it’s too late.
Step 1: Expert analysis of the situation
We begin on a fact-finding mission to see where the business currently sits; what the severity of the situation is.
Step 2: Possible management changes
We need to rectify the situation the business finds itself in. And change is only possible when the leadership is on board. Any leaders that are resistant may need to be replaced.
Step 3: Implementation of an action plan
The first act is to establish a positive cash flow, quickly. Then we outline a plan to restructure outstanding debt obligations, improve working capital management, reduce operating costs, improve budgeting practices, correct product line and customer mix pricing, prune product lines, and accelerate high-potential products.
Step 4: Restructure the business
Once the ship has been steadied, turnaround efforts are directed toward making the remaining business operations effective and efficient. The company must be restructured to increase profitability.
Stage 5: Return to normal
In this last step, the business slowly returns to profitability. While earlier steps concentrate on correcting problems, the final stage focuses on institutionalising an emphasis on profitability and return on equity.
