Warning signs

Is your company facing any of these situations?

The sooner these signs are addressed, the more options the company has and the lower the cost of the solution.

Cash is always tight

Even with good sales, there is not enough money to pay the bills at the end of the month.

Expensive bank debt

Loans and receivables financing eat up a large share of operating results.

Shrinking margins

Revenue grows, but profit does not keep up, or even falls.

No clear view of real profit

The numbers exist, but they do not clearly show how much the company earns.

Decisions without data

Pricing, investment and hiring are decided on gut feeling.

Overdue suppliers and taxes

Pending obligations pile up and start to stall operations.

If any of these sounds familiar, let's talk.

FAQ

Common questions

How does the first conversation work?

It is a free, no-obligation conversation to understand where the company stands, its main challenges, and whether our work makes sense for you. At the end, we present the format, timeline and fees.

How long does a restructuring engagement take?

It depends on the size of the company and the complexity of the situation. The diagnosis usually takes a few weeks, and implementation is planned in stages, with goals and deadlines set in the action plan.

Do you work on-site or remotely?

Both. The initial conversation is held remotely, by video call, which speeds up the first contact. If it makes sense to move forward, we schedule an in-person meeting to see the operation up close.

Do you replace the accountant or the finance team?

No. We work alongside the company's team and accountant, structuring financial management and supporting the owners' decisions.

Is my company's information kept confidential?

Yes. All shared data is handled in strict confidence.
