Independent Business Review (IBR)

An objective review of a stressed company’s business plan, cash flow and viability, usually commissioned by lenders during a restructuring or standstill to inform their decisions.

Lenders and other stakeholders deciding whether to support, restructure or exit. A credible IBR grounds those conversations and can preserve options.

Two connected things: value-creation strategy and transformation (sharpening the equity story, operating and margin improvement, transaction readiness), and the hands-on execution behind a raise or restructuring — financial modelling (three-statement, DCF, LBO, project finance, 13-week cash flow), investor documentation (information memorandum, pitch deck, business plan, data room), fundraising support (strategy, investor mapping, outreach, term-sheet and cap-table advisory) and turnaround support (valuation, due-diligence prep, IBR, lender packs).

Yes. These services are delivered on a monthly retainer or per deliverable, so a company that needs strategy input, a model, an IM or a full fundraising process can bring in senior corporate finance capability without hiring a team.

Founders, promoters, developers and management teams that need capital and need the strategy, modelling, documentation and process done to an institutional standard — including businesses under time or liquidity pressure.

Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.

Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.
