Business restructuring

We use our in-depth sector knowledge to tailor our advice to our client's needs.

Our goal is to rescue the situation and avoid formal proceedings. We believe it’s better to turn around a situation because financial reconstruction minimizes loss - both financial and emotional. Our services include:

1. Formal insolvency appointments

We act as insolvency office holders in all types of formal insolvencies for companies and individuals.  We are able to take appointments in all the major jurisdictions or we can advise and support our clients through the insolvency process.  

We have dedicated teams who deal with contentious and complex corporate insolvencies, including fraud investigations and forensic asset tracing.

Our corporate simplification team assists our clients to streamline their corporate structures, including the use of solvent liquidations.

2. Restructuring advisory

We offer a full range of restructuring advice to maximise value and keep businesses out of formal insolvency. We have specialist teams who provide the following services:

• Restructuring M&A
• Operational advisory
• Debt advisory
• Cash and liquidity/working capital management

Complementing the provision of restructuring advice to lenders and other creditors, we have a dedicated Corporate Advisory team who act for companies, their shareholders and their management when they are experiencing financial, operational and/or event driven change or stress. 

The team has 'real world' experience and leverages BDO's acknowledged Multi sector global expertise.

Services commonly require:

• analysis of issues and options;
• identification of turnaround, liquidity and operational restructuring solutions;
• implementation of plans, including taking interim management roles;
• and assisting boards in their engagement with stakeholders.
