Our advisory services
At C3, the type of advice we provide is crucial because it is often last-chance
advice. The nature of our activities being what they are, we are almost
always called upon when the situation is critical, even desperate. Our
role is to apply shock treatment so that the company experiencing difficulty
is not held back by its past performance, hindering its ability to look
to the future with hope. Following an in-depth analysis of the situation,
we provide a diagnosis and proceed directly to action to reduce costs
and locate capital. Rationalization, liquidation, restructuring…
we apply our total strategic toolkit to rebuilding the foundations of
the company in difficulty, enabling it to turn the situation around and,
possibly, to prosper once more.
Our unique advantage
Our three Cs: competence, credibility, confidence. We have full and proven
expertise that you can count on. Over the years, we have helped many companies
recover. We owe this success to knowing how to quickly produce liquidity
with underperforming assets and to implement effective recovery plans.
And we achieve our objectives while working closely with creditors so
that they too can recover their assets. While our unique expertise often
enables us to avoid the worst, it may also simply serve to free a company
from its unprofitable assets, converting them into fresh capital that
can be used for more profitable purposes. Where there is a situation to
redress, we have solutions to suggest.
