Business Restructure

A demolition and excavation company found itself in financial trouble after 12 years in the business. The company had been growing organically, and outside of equipment finance, had never sourced any type of working capital facility. Unfortunately, in 2019, the company suffered their first full-year loss due to a major customer going into liquidation and, as a result, failing to pay their debts.

How does a mining services business (extraction optimisation) buy time time to restructure its cost base without entering into Voluntary Administrations?

How does a transport and logistics business recover from a partnership break-up? Particularly when the damage included a cash flow crisis, a voluntary administration (VA), and a long line of equipment financiers who did not want to support the restructured business?

A transport business was locked into an unprofitable long term contract with one of its larger customers. They had made a mistake in agreeing to the terms in the first place to be sure, and the financial outcomes were noted unfavourably by the client’s bank.

A business manufacturing components and primarily servicing the mining sector found itself, like so many other businesses in that sector, needing to make dramatic changes if it was going to survive.
