When should I contact VALTUS Management Factory?
VALTUS Management Factory’s Financial Advisory practice specialises in turnaround and restructuring. In financially challenging situations, as well as when companies face critical and complex challenges, we provide targeted support and a comprehensive range of services covering analysis, strategy development and implementation.
Our Financial Advisory team supports SMEs, family-owned businesses and large corporations when operating performance stagnates or deteriorates, liquidity constraints become acute or foreseeable, or lenders are no longer willing to provide further financing or refinancing.
We understand the challenges companies and lenders face in critical situations and support our clients in developing and implementing sustainable, viable solutions.
What services does Financial Advisory offer?
Going Concern Prognosis and IDW S6 Restructuring Opinion
VALTUS Management Factory supports companies, shareholders and financing partners in objectively assessing the economic viability and future prospects of businesses. Our services include the preparation of Going Concern Prognoses, Independent Business Reviews (IBRs) and restructuring reports in accordance with IDW S6. Typical areas of application include corporate crises, restructurings, financing and refinancing processes, as well as out-of-court and court-supervised restructuring proceedings.
Restructuring Concepts and Support
We develop tailored restructuring concepts and support companies throughout their consistent and effective implementation. Our services range from analysing the root causes of a crisis and developing integrated action plans to implementation monitoring and stakeholder management. Typical areas of application include earnings and liquidity crises, refinancing processes, operational transformations, as well as out-of-court and court-supervised restructurings.
Liquidity Planning and Cash Management
Our services include the preparation of integrated liquidity plans and short-term cash flow forecasts (13-week cash flow forecasts), as well as the implementation of transparent management and reporting tools. Typical areas of application include restructurings, financing and refinancing processes, periods of growth, and situations involving increased liquidity and financing requirements.
Transaction Advisory
VALTUS Management Factory supports companies, shareholders and investors throughout the entire transaction process – acting either as an advisor or as an interim M&A manager – and coordinates all activities both within the company and with the advisors involved across finance, legal, tax and commercial workstreams. On the sell side, our services range from analysing potential assets or businesses for sale and preparing for exit readiness to carve-out preparation, business planning and the identification of critical due diligence areas. On the buy side, our services include coordinating the due diligence process, business planning, scenario analyses and detailed financial analyses. Typical areas of application include company sales, acquisitions, carve-outs, succession solutions and capital measures, as well as transactions in restructuring situations, where the sale of assets or businesses can be critical to the successful implementation of a restructuring.
Insolvency and Restructuring Proceedings
In insolvency and restructuring proceedings, VALTUS Management Factory provides companies, creditors and insolvency administrators with a reliable basis for decision-making. Our services range from analysing a company’s assets, financial position and earnings performance to going-concern and liquidity planning, adequacy assessments, and the validation of restructuring concepts, as well as providing financial support throughout the entire proceedings.
Solvent Liquidation
A solvent liquidation enables the orderly wind-down of a company or business unit outside formal insolvency proceedings. VALTUS Management Factory develops robust wind-down concepts, manages the liquidation process and supports the financial and operational implementation. Typical areas of application include the closure of no longer competitive business units, portfolio streamlining, company closures and strategic wind-down projects.
CRO Office
A CRO Office is a specialised team that works closely with the Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) to coordinate and drive all workstreams relevant to the restructuring and turnaround. It supports the CRO in implementing key measures and ensures that they are executed in a structured and targeted manner. Typical responsibilities include defining and implementing restructuring measures, liquidity management, transaction preparation, stakeholder management and communication with lenders.
How do Executive Interim Management and Financial Advisory work together?
While Financial Advisory provides the analytical and conceptual foundation for informed business decisions – through restructuring concepts, liquidity planning and going-concern prognoses, for example – Executive Interim Management ensures the consistent operational implementation of the resulting measures. Combining both services creates end-to-end responsibility throughout the entire transformation process – from analysis and decision-making through to implementation and sustainable impact.
