Clarity before commitment.

Every mandate starts with a confidential intake. We assess the situation, confirm fit, and define the scope of work before any commitment is made. A structured proposal follows within 72 hours.

Absolutely. All preliminary discussions are bound by mutual confidentiality before any detail is exchanged. Nothing is shared internally or externally until an NDA is in place.

A summary of the current situation, recent financials, and the decision-makers involved. The more context we receive, the faster we can determine the right sequence of action.

For urgent situations, we can be on the ground within 48 hours. Standard engagements begin within one to two weeks of a signed mandate.

Most mandates run between three and nine months. Crisis interventions are shorter and intensive; strategic reviews extend further depending on scope.

Stabilisation is typically achieved within the first 30 to 60 days. Measurable outcomes — liquidity restored, governance realigned — follow as the plan takes hold.

Mandates are scoped to the work, not billed by the hour. Fees are agreed upfront and structured around milestones — stabilisation, restructuring, and handover — so cost is fixed to outcomes rather than time.

Yes. Where alignment makes sense, we take part of our fee in equity or shares. This ties our return to yours and keeps cash in the business during the moments it matters most. The split is agreed in the mandate and documented formally.

For qualifying engagements, a portion of the fee can be success-linked or deferred until defined results are reached. We are flexible on structure; we are not flexible on clarity.

Yes. We embed with management rather than replacing it. Our role is to strengthen decision-making, install controls, and transfer capability back to your team.

We offer retained advisory, project-based mandates, and interim leadership placements. The model is shaped to the severity and stage of the situation.

All three. We frequently act as the independent advisor between owners, boards, and capital providers — aligning stakeholders around a single, credible plan.
