Restructuring

If a company is no longer profitable enough to finance future business development immediate action is necessary. We have already successfully supported a number of clients to avoid insolvency. Financial measures alone are generally temporary and are not sufficient, a sustainable restructuring requires not only actions which lower costs but also actions which will lead to higher revenue.

Ideally these measures should be implemented much earlier and not only when there is a crisis.
