“Hope is not a strategy!”
Solving Tough Financial and Operational Problems, Now!
The Fundamental Principle of our Turnaround & Restructuring
practice:
Our interests are
aligned with our clients’.
EM Capital, Inc. is one of the few leading,
internationally recognized turnaround management and restructuring firms that
actually manifests the principle of aligning the interests of key advisors with
those of the client. We routinely
negotiate performance or success-based engagements based on achieving measurable
results.
Who we work for:
EM Capital Turnaround & Restructuring works for venture capital firms,
private equity firms, high-net worth investors, institutions, agencies,
lenders, landlords, boards, accountants, corporate and insolvency counsel and
the senior management of entities facing critical financial and operational
issues, often leading to limited capital resources, strained customer and
financial community relations, liquidity problems and insolvency.
We have unique global
capabilities:
Over the past five
years we have built the largest network of global offices in major and emerging
markets than any other independent turnaround management and restructuring
firm. We are uniquely capable of
assisting clients with complex and urgent cross-border creditor and
out-sourcing related situations. Our
global network of EM Capital offices, each led by a bi-lingual senior managing
director provides important local market expertise and on-the-ground running
problem-solving skills.
Clients usually
don’t hire us soon enough:
One of the most common
and ultimately biggest mistakes made by business stakeholders is to delay
addressing serious present and indicated financial problems. Engaging professional
financial advisors early preserves stakeholder options and provides for better
and more complete information gathering, analysis, evaluation, planning and
enhanced turnaround execution. Working closely with client professionals,
EM Capital is a trusted member
of the team of advisors.
