Restructuring plan design and execution support

A restructuring plan translates a viable business proposal into a documented treatment of its liabilities and future financing. This workstream brings together the financial analysis, proposed creditor treatment, implementation requirements and evidence needed for stakeholder discussions and legal review.

When this service is relevant

Use this service when debt renegotiation requires a coherent financial plan covering several creditors or when a formal process is being considered with counsel. The starting point is a realistic operating case and a comparison of the available alternatives.

What the workstream covers

  1. Establish the financial baseline from management information, forecasts, liabilities, assets and existing financing terms; record data gaps and assumptions that require confirmation.
  2. Develop the proposed capital structure, payments and treatment of creditor groups, linking the proposal to the business plan and funding requirement.
  3. Compare the proposal with a defined liquidation scenario and test post-plan viability under explicit operating, financing and downside assumptions.
  4. Prepare a financial plan report and implementation worklist, with stakeholder materials, responsibility assignments and handoffs to the legal team for procedural requirements.

Prepare for an initial discussion

Prepare current accounts, cash forecasts, a complete liability schedule, financing agreements, security information and the proposed operating plan. Identify decisions already taken, unresolved creditor issues and deadlines that affect the available options.

Questions and answers

What does a financial plan report contain?

The report explains the financial baseline, valuation assumptions, alternatives, creditor treatment, proposed capital structure and viability analysis. Its precise contents follow the assignment and the requirements identified by counsel.

How is viability assessed?

The assessment links operating forecasts to cash generation, debt service and the proposed funding structure. Sensitivities show how outcomes change when the underlying assumptions change.

What determines the timetable?

The timetable depends on information quality, negotiations, funding, creditor processes and any legal procedure. A case-specific workplan is agreed after the initial assessment.

Discuss a restructuring brief

Start with a non-confidential overview. Detailed documents can follow the agreed conflict-check and information-sharing process.
