What options do I have before insolvency becomes unavoidable?

Before insolvency becomes unavoidable, a spectrum of options usually remains, from cost and working-capital action, asset disposals and new equity, to standstill agreements, refinancing and formal restructuring tools.

For directors the difficulty is that these options decay with time: the earlier the engagement, the wider and cheaper the menu.

This report sets out the pre-insolvency options available in your chosen jurisdiction and industry: the framework for sequencing them, and the scenarios that suit each. It covers the warning indicators that show which doors are closing, and hedged ranges for the cost and dilution involved.

It also sets out the controls that keep options open, and clear guidance on when to engage restructuring advisers, counsel and lenders to preserve room to manoeuvre.
