Financial Restructuring

We can advise you on the financial restructuring of your company. Our expertise includes analysing the existing financing structure, identifying scope for improvement and negotiating with banking consortiums to adjust loans, collateral and covenants, etc. Together with you, we draw up plans for debt restructuring, debt write-off and bolstering equity with the aim of strengthening your financial stability and setting up the company for future growth. The goal of our restructuring advice is to allow you to stay in control during a crisis and to improve your refinancing ability.

Restructuring within and outside of administrative proceedings

We also provide support for preparing and managing restructuring proceedings based on the Stabilisation and Restructuring Act (Stabilisierungs- und Restrukturierungsgesetz, StaRUG). We advise companies, creditors and investors in such proceedings, and can also provide you with a restructuring officer. These proceedings enable you to realign your business in order to secure its viability and restore financial stability.

Refinancing options and government funding programmes

Refinancing options and government funding programmes such as KfW loans and guarantees from regional governments offer further opportunities for improving your financial situation. We examine these options on your behalf and access alternative sources of financing. Our goal is to ensure your liquidity and provide you with the necessary freedom and flexibility in a challenging financing environment.

Optimising the capital structure

We can help you to optimise your capital structure by developing strategies for recovery financing and making efficient use of debt capital. These steps help to reduce debt duration and increase the equity ratio, creating the flexibility you need in order to retain control in challenging times and to improve the prospects for your company.

Better prospects for success through financial restructuring

Our extensive restructuring measures and considered use of refinancing options improve your business’s chances of success. By ensuring liquidity and optimising the capital structure, we create the conditions for sustainable growth and a stable financial future.
