Three phases, one responsibility for your result.

Phase 01

Transformation

Strategic realignment, performance improvement and finance transformation. We take responsibility on the front line.

Typical assignments

  • Margins stagnate despite revenue growth
  • Product and variant proliferation out of hand
  • The strategy is new, the organisation is still the old one
  • Growth is lagging behind the market
  • Plants below potential: low equipment effectiveness, fluctuating quality
  • Too much capital tied up in inventory, liquidity tight
  • Finance as the bottleneck: slow closings, unreliable forecasts

Phase 02

Restructuring

Turnaround, self-administration and interim management, for companies, investors and insolvency administrators.

Typical assignments

  • The bank is demanding an independent business review or a restructuring concept
  • A covenant breach or liquidity squeeze is looming
  • The business model works, but the capital structure is over-indebted
  • Acute crisis with a leadership vacuum (interim CEO, CFO or CRO)
  • A shareholder conflict blocks decisions at the top
  • Self-administration or StaRUG / ReOrg as the way out of the crisis
  • Investors need neutrality: the holding is falling short of the business case

Phase 03

Transaction

Due diligence, sell-side M&A and special situations. Well-founded, robust, with a firm hand on the process.

Typical assignments

  • An acquisition is coming up: examine the substance behind the sales figures
  • Prepare the sale without price reductions (vendor due diligence)
  • Selling a life's work for the first time, meeting the other side as an equal
  • Selling a group division, making the carve-out stand-alone capable
  • Den Unternehmenswert objektiv bestimmen — vor Verkauf oder Nachfolge
  • Owner exit without succession, a transitional solution is needed
  • Restructuring trust as security for investors and lenders
