What we
do

We focus on continuation, improvement, and growth of businesses.

We provide Appropriate Persons for Safe Harbour who can assist with restructuring plans which may include require:

  • recapitalization
  • refinancing
  • rescheduling
  • operation efficiency enhancements.

Whether due to the economic times, financial distress or a strategic decision, we work with companies on improving and restructuring their balance sheets to improve their financial position or fund accretive acquisition opportunities.  This can involve assisting with disclosures, and negotiating with financers on compromises and covenant relief.
