Performance & Turnaround

Restructuring / turn-around means all measures taken – business, tax and legal – in order to restore the long-term, self-supportive earnings situation of a company or business unit.

Due to the individual complexity of each individual crisis situation, patent restructuring remedies simply do not exist. Therefore, an individual restructuring concept must be developed for each and every business or business unit, then put into subsequent action. The individual project phases can be listed as:

1. Analysis of the current situation
2. Identification of weaknesses
3. Definition of suitable measures
4. Implementation of those measures

The restructuring process must always include the entire company and/or complete business unit in order to avoid negative side-effects.

Due to an often tense liquidity situation during the restructuring phase, a restructuring of the passive side of the company’s balance sheet must be undertaken parallel to active recapitalization.

Classic forms of institutional credit financing reach their limits much faster in the medium-sized business arena due to an increasingly cautious stance taken by credit institutes. It is therefore of growing importance that modern financial instruments are implemented. GCI Management offers you - thanks to extensive venture capital portfolio experience - direct access to capital markets as well as in-depth experience when using modern financial instruments.

In most cases, though, credit institutes remain the most important financial partners. It is therefore especially important during the restructuring phase to keep investors well informed and convinced of the positive outcome of the restructuring process. Our experience gathered over years of intense negotiations with credit institutes’ special credit departments allows us to offer you a “routine” plan for communicating and presenting your goals and results.

If you feel that the economic development of your company is not on the proper course, give us a call. We look forward to analyzing the situation with you, discreetly and at no commitment.
