Balance Sheet Cleanup

The company ties up capital and management capacity in areas that have no strategic future. Individual subsidiaries or business units are operating at a loss and endanger the overall company. Shareholders or investors demand a clearer focus of the corporate structure. Regulatory changes make certain business areas unprofitable.

A planned transaction (sale, IPO, refinancing) requires a cleaned-up balance sheet. In many cases, the balance sheet cleanup represents preparation for a later transaction – whether it is a company sale, refinancing, or capital measure. A cleanly structured balance sheet as well as document and corporate information management increases the company value and shortens the transaction process.
