Performance Improvement
Operational performance improvement is typically achieved through ongoing step change initiatives, however sometimes circumstances dictate that a more urgent operational and financial restructuring is required. Mainsheet has the capabilities and experience for both of these situations.
In a performance improvement situation Mainsheet works jointly with clients to conduct a data driven review of operations, design performance improvement plans and assist to build organisational capabilities to capture profit improvements. In restructuring and turnaround situations Mainsheet is experienced to act with urgency across operations, costs, assets, cash flow, debt restructuring, liquidity, business sales and recapitalisation.

Financial restructuring is centred around changing the capital structure of the business to better suit its current circumstances and is often, but not always, done in conjunction with operational restructuring. Financial restructuring is centred on ensuring ongoing liquidity and preserving value by recapitalising the business or changing the debt and equity structure to lessen the cash flow impact if servicing debt.
Mainsheet is experienced in assisting companies to review their capital structures and develop and enact financial action plans to negotiate with lenders to restructure debt facilities and amend covenant regimes, to take write-downs or to raise new debt or equity to recapitalise the business.
