Financial Restructuring
Restructuring is not about turning back the company’s clock to before its problems began—it’s about moving forward to realize the potential your company has always had.

Cash flow management, communications management, operational and financial analysis and operational improvements—all these elements are critical to improving the situation of a company facing a potential bankruptcy filing or restructuring.

When a business’ situation is critical, the quality of the advice it seeks in response to the situation is critical, as well. That’s where we come in. For companies facing high debt levels, potential bankruptcy or restructuring, Barrier Advisors provides: (i) a clarifying methodology on which to base decisions, and (ii) services that focus on reversing problematic trends.

A majority of distressed companies have limited liquidity and a capital structure with too much debt in light of the company’s current performance. So, while the initial focus of a financial restructuring is on cash flow and strengthening financial performance, attention must eventually shift toward restructuring the balance sheet. In the short term, that means stability and recovery. In the long term, it means the ability to pursue and achieve long-term objectives.

Barrier Advisors assists management through a four-step financial engineering process:

1. Stabilizing the financial crisis
2. Assessing the financial performance and debt capacities
3. Developing reorganization plans
4. Implementing solutions

Our approach restores working capital for routine operations, initiates capital improvements and frees up management to concentrate on achieving operating goals. The result is a streamlined, right-sized organization that is in a better position to compete in the marketplace and service its capital structure, now and in the future.
