When it is no longer business as usual, stressed companies must act quickly and decisively to avoid critical complications.

Many businesses can suffer cash flow and profitability issues. CEOs, finance professionals and lenders need to recognise the signs of financial stress and operational underperformance and take prompt and effective action.

Early intervention is essential if underperforming businesses are to avoid severe damage to their operations and reputations. Prevention involves promptly establishing the right priorities for preserving and enhancing value.
