Financial Restructuring Advisory
Financial restructuring is the reorganisation of a business’s assets and liabilities. The process is often associated with corporate restructuring, where an organisation’s overall structure and its processes are overhauled.
Most businesses go through a phase of financial restructuring at some point, though not always necessarily to address any shortfalls but to set a platform for growth. However, when a company is in crisis it may attempt to renegotiate with its secured and unsecured creditors to reduce or eliminate some of its debts.
Our experienced Financial Restructuring Advisory team is driven to achieve the best outcome for our client and all stakeholders. Financial restructuring needs to be approached as a potential opportunity to balance and reset financial positioning. The right team with a wealth of experience is able to provide strategic advice and simplify a complex period.

- Debt-for-equity swaps or re-capitalisations,
- Capital Raising (private or public) through our venture capital strategic partners
