When an organisation becomes aware that a subsidiary business, a division
factory, a branch or a brand is under-performing, we assist in achieving an
optimal recovery of value.
We
help to identify the issues and evaluate the options available and agree and
assist in implementing the chosen approach (eg sell, fix and sell, or
wind-down). We also identify and help manage the risks inherent in the process.
The
planned outcome will be an increase in shareholder value by selling,
restructuring, closing or winding down the under-performing business or
subsidiary. Our global capabilities, extensive experience, proven methodology
and swift service working under pressure of time are our key differentiation.
Sale:
We
aim to avoid the 'fire-sale' scenario. 'Fix and sell' is a preferred exit route
where we combine our turnaround and disposal expertise to increase the value of
realisation. We may even consider expanding the business by merger or
acquisition if this can add to the eventual resale value. However, if the
optimal solution is a vendor-financed sale then it is best to identify this
option early.
Managed
wind-down:
Over
a planned period, we would gradually run-down the business, completing existing
orders, realizing assets and maximizing receivables.
Immediate
closure:
In
some cases, though painful, the optimal solution might be to close the business
immediately.
