Benjamin Franklin is credited with having said 'failing to plan is planning to fail'. However, when businesses become distressed, firefighting often consumes leaderships time and planning the bigger picture can become lost. Headway can ease this pressure and works with executive and management teams to develop clear and focussed strategic and recovery plans. Once formulated, Headway can assist in making sure the whole organization has a strong understanding of the plan and can help oversee the implementation

As the saying goes 'revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, cash is a reality.' Certainly, any improvement or recovery plan requires a solid understanding of future working capital requirements and have these in place. A clear and focussed strategy will incorporate this and it is essential that it is communicated well to banks, funders and shareholders. Headways management has successfully been through this critical process many times and can use this experience effectively in support of the executive team.

When more funding is required than typical day to day working capital, a business may need to source new investment and equity. For the right opportunities, Headway can facilitate the procurement of investment capital. Working in conjunction with our partners, we can provide debt and equity funding packages to support many different business requirements including acquisitions, buy-outs and buy-ins, corporate restructuring and  turnarounds.

 Whilst the actions necessary for business recovery normally have common themes, they are each very unique in detail. Headway works with management to facilitate a turnaround agenda that is tailored to their business, its core activities and the strengths of the organization. Where the recovery plan requires a corporate restructure, such as an add-on acquisition or a disposal of part, Headways experience means that we are ideally placed to support management through this process as well.

Often, when a business is performing below par, it finds itself with problem projects and disputes. These may be the root cause of poor performance or symptomatic but either way they can be hugely disruptive and need dealing with efficiently and effectively. The problems tend to arise at the worst time when executive resources are stretched. Headway can provide executive commercial support to help bring these issues to a resolution.
