Sterling Risk Advisory provides corporate restructuring advisory for businesses addressing operational inefficiency, financial stress, or strategic repositioning requirements. We work with management teams and stakeholders to develop and implement restructuring strategies that improve operational performance and financial sustainability.

‍

Our restructuring practice focuses on situations requiring independent analysis, stakeholder management, and structured implementation rather than distressed situations requiring insolvency expertise.

Approach

‍

Independent Assessment

Restructuring benefits from objective analysis of organisational performance, market positioning, and improvement opportunities. We provide independent assessment of operational and financial performance against realistic improvement potential.

‍

Implementation Focus

Restructuring strategies require executable implementation plans. We develop approaches accounting for organisational capacity, stakeholder constraints, and operational realities. Our guidance emphasises practical implementation over theoretical optimisation.

‍

Stakeholder Alignment

Successful restructuring requires stakeholder alignment around objectives and approach. We support management in developing stakeholder communication and securing necessary support for restructuring initiatives.

‍

Engagement Approach

Restructuring engagements typically begin with diagnostic assessment establishing improvement opportunities and restructuring requirements. Following diagnostic phase, we support strategy development and implementation management based on organisational needs.

Engagements are structured on advisory fee basis with clear scope definition around diagnostic, strategy development, and implementation support phases.
