“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.
