Recovering hundreds of Millions
Asset recovery is common to private equity projects that fail. Business reasons, market reasons, lack of management, political factors, wars, sanctions or even pandemic: in many cases, the unthinkable becomes reality and need specific turnaround capabilities. Not only legal ones, but also personal ones, integrity, transparence, persistence. Having recovered hundreds of Millions US over the last 15 years, i consider this the best track record that may help you.
Creating New Business Standards
A business failure is always linked to a kind of personal failure. whatever the reason is, in private equity we know that out of 10 investments, just 2 will perform, 6 will underperform, and 2 will fail completely.
Now, out of 6 underperforming investments, personal issues, market problems, external issues will raise concern over the time. Only through a specific due diligence you will be able to correct the problem and move to acceptable results.
