Internal and external stakeholders can benefit from a comprehensive review of all business activities. An independent and detailed picture of financial and operational performance provides a strong platform from which to identify and address issues which may be causing liquidity problems or limiting growth potential – or giving lenders cause for concern.
Henderton undertakes diagnostic business reviews – a thorough analysis which enables us to provide viable solutions. Areas covered include cash flow, profit and revenue forecasts, management team capability strategy, assets and liabilities, historic performance, long-term viability, debt servicing, and working capital requirements.
It is also important to look at the wider context, which is where our expert industry knowledge comes into play. Reviews examine competition and market dynamics, as well as relevant legislation.
Whether carried out for a business or its stakeholders, a diagnostic business review will also assess the strength of operational organisation, from the in-house financial systems, controls and security to group structures.
Cash flow can make or break a business – and the structure of a company’s debt can be the key to its success. If a business is experiencing fast growth or distress, the resulting liquidity issues can pose a serious threat. Restructuring financial obligations can free up cash and renew the route to profit, reducing costs and restoring stakeholder confidence.
Depending on the circumstances, there are a range of actions that may be appropriate to take to restructure company debt. These include extension of the repayment period, reduction of interest rates and servicing costs, or a transfer to an entirely new debt product better suited to the business model.
Our advisors help companies, management teams, shareholders, financial sponsors and debt providers from a truly independent position. As we are not part of a large accounting firm or bank, we have no products to sell.
