Viability plans
If we face serious changes in our company and environment, it is necessary to ensure the business's long-term sustainability. The best work and analysis tool used to look at and plan the activities based on the size of the company and its sector is to have a viability plan prepared professionally. In addition, it will be necessary as a key communication and marketing element for the project when searching for members, financial institutions, investors or to request public or private aid. AuditiA's experts will analyse the market, help the client prepare plans relating to marketing, commercialisation, production and operations, organisation and human resources, and investment and financing which will make up a clear, objective, concise and complete economic and financial viability plan which will help implement, control and manage the project, adding credibility and value.
Viability plan monitoring
Monitoring the implementation of the viability plan is vital to giving value to the firm and confirming financial sustainability to creditors. Our teams are specialists at determining the methodology for carrying out periodic reporting and creating a report including a review and conclusions.
Restructuring
When the indexes indicate that the company is not sustainable in the mid-term, it is time to analyse the situation and design and implement a restructuring plan. AuditiA's experts will study the situation and define a restructuring and improvement plan for long-term operations, suggesting realistic and effective alternatives and initiatives. Our professionals will be involved in the implementation and, where necessary, act as experienced interim managers, aiding in the negotiation with external parties involved, proposing improvements in cash flow available and reductions in costs.
Independent reviews of viability plans
In the case that you have created a viability plan to face the business's future and you wish to use it as an effective communication tools between your company and the parties involved (potential partners, investors, financial institutions, etc.), it should be subjected to objective analysis by independent experts who can report on it and provide an additional guarantee to win the confidence of those parties. AuditiA's specialists, after assessing the risks, will issue an independent opinion about the plan, its necessary operational funds and permanent resources, the existing guarantees and possible scenarios.
Refinancing
When a company cannot face the debts it has incurred, a refinancing of its debts will be necessary. The situation must be studied and the debt obligation replaced by another with different terms and conditions. These are complicated processes where the experience and knowledge of specialist staff are essential to the assessment of different accounting, strategic and financial aspects of the company as well as any legal concepts. AuditiA's multidisciplinary team of experts will help you understand the financial situation of your company and study the case in detail to help plan the different stages of the refinancing process.
Refinancing due diligence (Independent Business Review - IBR)
In the context of debt refinancing required, a review of the business and treasury plan by an independent expert together with the predicted cash flows will be required by the financial institutions or by the company before the negotiation process begins. AuditiA's experts will carry out the analysis necessary and submit the report in order to start the process.
Search for the optimal divestment exit strategy
When a company does not reach the performance levels desired, it could be due to various reasons from changes in the market to absorption of capital or a reduction in profit margins. AuditiA's teams are prepared to help you recover the value of your company. We will help determine the problems and assess the different strategies to follow. We will be with you to help make decisions and implement the most optimal strategy depending on your preferences and needs in a logical and efficient manner.
Independent expert reports on refinancing
In the case that there is a refinancing agreement in place and the debtor requests it, an independent expert report must be created as per that established in Additional Disposition 4ª of the Bankruptcy Law in section b). AuditiA's professional experts will create the report required, issuing their judgement on whether the information provided by the debtor is sufficient, whether the viability plan is reasonable and achievable and on the proportionality of the guarantees as per the normal market conditions at the moment the agreement was signed.
