Restructuring Report and Expert Opinion

Our implementation-oriented restructuring report shows the measures necessary for a promising restructuring and creates acceptance among all parties involved.

Overview

If a company gets into financial difficulties - even through no fault of its own - or significantly fails to meet its targets, lenders in Germany require a restructuring concept (also known as a restructuring opinion) for legal reasons; reference is often made here to the IDW S6 standard of the Institute of Auditors or the case law of the Federal Supreme Court. As a professional, neutral opinion, a restructuring concept offers management, suppliers, credit insurers and other stakeholders the best possible protection against contestation and liability risks.

In a restructuring report, a so-called objective assessment of the ability to restructure is derived based on a comprehensive analysis of the company and the measures developed. At the beginning, the causes of the crisis are identified. At the same time, the liquidity situation is analysed and, if necessary, counteracted with appropriate short-term measures. Subsequently, a detailed picture of the assets, financial and earnings situation, performance management as well as the market and competitive position is drawn up. Based on the results, potentials are identified, measures are derived and combined with the integrated corporate planning. The sustainability of the business model is taken into account. The restructuring report not only fulfils the formal requirements of the financiers, but is rather a forward-looking roadmap that builds on the company's initiatives that are already underway, manages them and shows the stakeholders that this is the path to a sustainably profitable future.

Together we define the focal points at the beginning - our goal is to ensure an efficient work process and relevant results. You benefit from our experience and reputation - we know the success factors and interests of the stakeholders involved.

Questions for the team

What is the objective of a restructuring report?

The aim of a restructuring report is to draw up a comprehensive concept to ensure sustainable competitiveness and profitability. The concept is based on reliable analyses and measures developed together with the company to secure liquidity and restore profitability. It also confirms the company's ability to restructure and serves as a decisive basis for the financiers' decisions on future cooperation with the company.

What are the critical success factors?

The acceptance of the measures in the company is central to the success of the turnaround. That is why we work closely with the respective experts in the company from the very beginning and jointly develop the measures required for the turnaround. In doing so, we value the know-how and experience available in the company and use this for the company's success.

Restructuring report sounds drastic - what does it mean for a company?

A reorganisation report is not about throwing everything overboard and starting from scratch. Often crises are caused by external factors or because companies have not adapted to changed conditions – often they hold on to the tried and tested for too long. However, this does not mean that everything is bad. On the contrary: the existing experience and expertise often only needs to be channelled in the right direction – through targeted restructuring measures. We have been supporting entrepreneurs and managing directors as a team for more than two decades.
