Cost Overrun & Liquidity Squeeze
Multiple projects run over budget, subcontractors halt work, and the bank demands a revised financing plan.
Key Executive Departure Mid-Project
The COO leaves abruptly during a critical delivery phase, collapsing project controlling and supplier negotiations.
Measure:
We deploy an Interim COO within 96 hours to stabilize cash management and deliver a credible recovery plan to the financing bank.
Supply Chain Disruption
A critical supplier fails without an alternative in place. Production halts and customer penalty clauses activate.
Margin Erosion
Surging raw material and energy costs push EBITDA negative, triggering covenant breaches.
Measure:
We deploy an Interim COO to secure alternative sourcing and launch a 90-day cost reduction program targeting overhead and energy consumption.
Overleveraged Portfolio
Rising interest rates push debt service beyond cash reserves. Banks request a restructuring plan within 30 days.
Stalled Development Project
A development project stops due to contractor insolvency or cost escalation, eroding investor confidence.
Measure:
We step in as restructuring advisor, support renegotiation of bank covenants, and develop a completion or exit roadmap accepted by lenders and investors.
Burn Rate Crisis
A failed funding round leaves the company with weeks of runway and a cost base built for scale that revenues cannot support.
Founder Exit During Scaling
A founding CEO or CTO departs mid-growth, leaving a leadership gap investors and the remaining team cannot fill quickly.
Measure:
We place an Interim CEO who cuts non-essential spend, refocuses the product roadmap on revenue-generating features, and maintains investor confidence through structured communication.
