Business recovery

We understand that the pressure faced by individuals and company directors when dealing with financial challenges can be overwhelming. The uncertainty of the situation can create an environment where it is difficult to plan clearly and, due to the complex nature and time sensitivity of the matter, it is important to get the best possible advice quickly.

MANAGING THE ROAD TO BUSINESS RECOVERY 

During this difficult period all businesses are likely to feel the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and, with the end of government support measures on the horizon, owner managers must be able to identify and react to financial red flags now to avoid a cliff-edge scenario. By recognising the signs of financial stress and scenario planning for a range of possibilities, owner managers can start to take control of their situation, reduce costs and improve their chances of rebuilding a successful business. Our recent whitepaper provides further details on these options and highlights the questions you need to consider to establish whether your business will still be viable post-pandemic. Depending on the outcome of the business viability test, business owners may need to take action now in order to improve their financial performance.

Our Business Recovery team are on hand to offer practical support and advice to help you proactively manage your situation – including advice on practical solutions for improving cash management and operational resilience – but remember, early engagement is key so if you are at all in doubt about the future of your business, please do get in touch as soon as possible.
