Financial restructuring

Fix financial: turning debt burden to a sustainable capital structure

The ability to swiftly resolve complex problems will ultimately determine the viability of a business facing a crisis. At this critical stage, the company is confronted with high gearing, cash scarcity, limited financing ability, breach of covenants and deteriorating confidence. A single poor financial decision could push the company into insolvency.

At PwC, we combine our extensive expertise and practical experience with a holistic approach to finding the right solution for your specific distressed business. This helps preserve jobs, refinance credit facilities, restructure liabilities, manage key stakeholders and turn businesses around.

We assist lenders, creditors, shareholders and institutions in finding the right solution for struggling businesses and addressing their toughest questions:

  • Is the business viable? Is it generating sufficient cash to meet its upcoming financial obligations?
  • How can you refinance existing debts?
  • How much is the post-restructuring recovery value? 
  • How do you manage the expectations of multiple stakeholders simultaneously?
  • Where do you source new funding? What is the feasible fundraising option? 
  • What is the sustainable capital structure which can support the long term growth objectives of the business?

Our experience shows that there is no one answer for all crises. The right answer and solution require the appropriate mix and tailoring from the following non-exhaustive services on a case-by-case basis:

  • Assessing viability of business 
  • Reviewing financial position and analysing restructuring options 
  • Formulating a scheme and negotiating terms
  • Assessing debt servicing capacity and sustainable capital structure
  • Tranching a non-performing loan portfolio and managing a bidding process 
  • Simplifying corporate structure or business model and optimising exit
