Business Restructuring

Our approach

Guiding businesses and individuals through financial distress can be an intricate task, even for the most proficient team. At BDO, we approach these challenges comprehensively, crafting strategies to guide your business through financial difficulties toward renewed stability. We aim to find positive and pragmatic steps to restore your organisation to health and profitability. Discover the practical Business Restructuring strategies we can support your business with.

Examinership

Successful examinerships can protect viable businesses and provide a better solution for their creditors than a traditional liquidation process. Our Business Restructuring services are designed to help you achieve the best results during the protection period of the Examinership process.

Our role as examiner includes:

Sourcing investors / Assisting with an Investment Agreement
Classifying creditors
Formulating a scheme of arrangement
Examining the affairs of the Company, if required
Monitor performance during the period of Examinership
Creditor meetings
Court Reporting

We can assist you in preparing the Independent Accountant’s Report required by the High Court to determine the merits of Appointing an Examiner over a business.

We extend our services to Creditors of companies entering the Examinership process. Our review of Independent Accountants Reports prepared by others can identify potential areas open to challenge.
