ADVISING COMPANIES IN CHALLENGING SITUATIONS
Our financial restructuring and turnaround consulting in Russia facilitates recovery of companies in stabilizing finances and operations. We reassure all parties-in-interest that proactive steps are being taken to enhance value or guarantee financial recovery. All circumstances surrounding a particular troubled business are scrutinized. The focus is to restore profitability through strategies such as reducing costs, restructuring the balance sheet and renegotiating with creditors. Our mandate is to improve results and restore value to the stakeholders.
TURNAROUND VERSUS THE HUMAN FACTOR
In emergency situations just 15% of people on average manage to remain calm and rational enough to make decisions. Decisions that could save their lives. Passivity, mental paralysis or simply carrying on as normal in the face of a crisis mean a failure or incapability to adapt to a sudden change in the environment. Business recovery involves goal-directed behaviour: analyse a situation, draft a restructuring plan and implement a turnaround. Normally, this is straightforward. However, in new, unfamiliar, stressful environment when profitability is sinking, working capital is burning, it might look like a puzzle. Drafting a restructuring plan, where the exit is and how to get to it, could require a lot more conscious effort.
