We work with management teams to determine the financial structure which best fits the underlying potential business characteristics and performance of underperforming companies.

We also assist those management teams in arranging that structure or solution with the company’s financiers and investors.

McGrathNicol has advised stakeholders in numerous large and complex capital restructure cases.  We understand the objectives of the range of stakeholders in capital restructuring situations and are able to provide independent advice aimed at restoring confidence and support.

Restructuring a company’s debt and capital, or simply refinancing a particular facility, within a climate of underperformance against promises and/or expectations, requires trusted advice and experience to achieve a successful outcome for the company.

Our services include:

§         assessment of the reasons for underperformance, the current debt structure and financing needs, as well as the identification of potential options for improvement;

§         assistance in the preparation of robust and credible forecasts to form the basis for strategies and negotiations;

§         assistance in the development of robust restructuring options and implementation plans (including contingency plans), using our understanding of financier requirements and processes;

§         assistance in implementing those plans with financiers and investors; and

§         addressing short term liquidity issues through effective cash management.
