Business consulting and project due diligence
An independent view of the viability of a business plan for investors and lenders who need to verify the plan's realism before entering a project.
How we can help
Due diligence
We review the ownership and financial structure, the business environment, cash flow, supplier and customer relationships, management responsibilities and the main risks of the plan.
Business plans
We prepare a plan including a financial model and cash flow, or independently audit an existing plan and verify its assumptions.
Restructuring
For companies and projects in difficulty, we design a recovery plan and its measures and manage the restructuring.
When it makes sense to contact us
- Before entering a project, when as an investor or lender you need to verify that the plan is realistic.
- Before negotiating with a bank or an investor, when you need to prepare a plan and supporting materials.
- When a company or project runs into difficulty, including the stabilisation of a construction project in crisis.
