Serving Up A Rescue

31/01/2017

Whether through poor trading results, a lack of working capital and/or an unwillingness of existing owner/investors to put more money in the business, a business can find itself in difficulty.

A tool used by restructuring professionals is the so-called 'accelerated M&A process;' a brief marketing campaign and sale conducted without the usual due diligence and accompanying warranties and representations. 

The sale price likely to be achieved will be less, but the likelihood that the business (and the employees jobs) will be saved is increased, whether through a sale in a pre-pack administration or one conducted pre-liquidation.

Let's hope that FRP Advisory serve up a winner for Doe Sport
