At Menzies, we work with businesses at all points of the restructuring lifecycle to deliver practical, hands-on advice. Whether you’re experiencing distress driven by financial or operational factors or specific events, we help stakeholders take control and make confident, informed decisions.
What is Restructuring Advisory?
Restructuring advisory is about creating clarity in times of uncertainty. From stabilising cashflow and renegotiating with stakeholders, to reshaping your operating model for future growth – our role is to help you regain control and reposition your business for success.
We work with business owners, boards, lenders, and investors to provide independent, objective advice. Our team supports solvent and distressed businesses alike, offering solutions tailored to your commercial needs and stakeholder priorities.
Our Approach to Business Restructuring
Every business is unique, so we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice. Our team of restructuring and insolvency specialists will take the time to understand your situation and your goals – then design a clear, tailored plan to get you there.
We can support you with:
Independent Business Reviews (IBRs)
We provide lenders and stakeholders with independent, expert analysis of a business’s viability, financial position, and options.
Liquidity reviews and cashflow management
We help you stabilise short-term finances, assess funding requirements, and implement cash control measures.
Working capital management
Working with lenders, funders, and debt recovery specialists, we can help you understand improvements that can be made in the working capital cycle to increase funds available under relevant facilities and to augment the lenders understanding of the risk.
Debt and stakeholder negotiations
We work with management teams to engage with banks, HMRC, landlords and suppliers – helping you restructure liabilities and secure breathing space to enable the business strategy and recovery plan to be implemented.
Strategic options reviews
We help you assess the full range of strategic options available, from business turnaround and refinancing, through to sale or a managed wind-down.
Turnaround planning and implementation
Where there’s a viable business at the core, we help develop and execute recovery plans that deliver long-term sustainability.
When Should you Seek Restructuring Advice?
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from restructuring support. We work with businesses across a wide range of scenarios, including:
- Falling profitability or pressure on cash

Whatever your situation, we’ll work with you to find a practical, commercially sound way forward.
