Looking at a business and what the prospects are like can be a tough analysis for a business owner.

Looking at the overall picture may highlight some quick opportunities and improvements for your business, but equally are the changes long-term and should these be installed as a permanent improvement for the business.

We recently assisted a business who had previously been profitable but was on the premise of insolvency as it was being strangled by a poor performing ancillary business. Taking a step back, the core business, if not labouring with the ancillary was able to continue operating and did not go insolvent. C&D assisted this by reducing the business’ staff and advertising and re-focusing the business’ direction towards building a customer base (that had been previously neglected). Sometimes a business restructure is the only solution for a business to be sustainable.
