      Crises often result in financial difficulties and liquidity bottlenecks. Insufficient or no transparency of data in relation to critical success factors makes it even more difficult to identify and analyse the sources of problems.

      Another critical issue is the risk of not complying with covenants or having already breached them. This can put a strain on relationships with creditors and investors. The declining trust of stakeholders can further restrict the company's room for manoeuvre.

      Get back on the road to success quickly

      Particular attention should also be paid to the loss of top performers, as important and essential employees often leave the company in times of crisis, which can exacerbate the situation.  

      In addition to the challenges listed above, it is crucial to recognise potential liability risks at an early stage and address them appropriately.

      In order to overcome these critical aspects and stabilise the company, rapid and sometimes far-reaching measures are required. Carefully analysing the financial situation and identifying the causes of the crisis are essential.

      Corporate restructuring: advice in challenging situations

      Financial constraints, operational weaknesses or changing market conditions can quickly put companies under pressure to act. It is then crucial to create transparency, assess options rigorously and implement measures consistently. Professional restructuring combines financial stabilisation, operational improvement and strategic realignment.

      KPMG supports companies, shareholders, banks and investors with restructuring in challenging situations. The focus is on analysing the causes of the crisis in a clear and comprehensible manner, securing liquidity and creating a sound basis for decision-making for management and stakeholders.

      Restructuring advice with a clear focus on liquidity, results and implementation

      A restructuring is effective when financial, operational and strategic measures are interlinked. KPMG supports clients from the initial assessment of the situation, through the development of robust recovery and turnaround strategies, to the implementation of specific measures.

      This includes liquidity analyses, integrated business planning, working capital measures, stakeholder communication and the preparation of financing and refinancing solutions. Even in situations where time is of the essence, KPMG helps to provide clarity on risks, options for action and priorities.

      Supporting implementation

      Restructuring does not end with the concept. KPMG supports the implementation of the defined measures, prepares management decisions and assists with communication with relevant stakeholders.

      The KPMG Restructuring Update provides additional practical insights into turnaround, reorganisation, insolvency and distressed M&A. This ensures that companies remain capable of acting even when market and financing conditions change.
